Why Does God Forbid Idolatry?

from Discipleship Answers Hosted by Michel Lankford

Idolatry is worshiping anything else other than YHWH Almighty God. Scripture plainly tells us that those who walk in idolatry and worshiping false gods will be condemned. They will be in the lake of fire, (Revelation 21:8; Galatians 5:19-21).Throughout the Whole Testament of Scripture, we are clearly told that we should flee and run away from ALL idolatry. (Deuteronomy 20:1-3; 1 Corinthians 10:1-22; 1 John 5:21). Why does Almighty God forbid idolatry? Does God forbid idolatry because He's not Woke? Does God forbid idolatry because He's being selfish and greedy, and He wants all the worship and wants all honor for Himself alone? Is the reason that, YHWH forbids idolatry because the more people worship God, it gives Him more Power, Glory and Authority? Is God just being mean and narrow minded when He forbids idolatry? Believe it or not, quite a few people today foolishly assume that God has these bad ulterior motives when He forbids idolatry. In spite of the popular woke opinion, NONE of these false accusations against Almighty God come close to revealing God's true motivations when He forbids idolatry. If you truly want to understand why got forbids idolatry, come grab a listen to this episode of Discipleship Answers.
