Generally, my opinion of an idol is worshipping or loving anything more than God. I feel that praising to, worshpping or loving anything before The Lord God has the making of an idol or idolizing an object, place, or thing. Modern day idols can be almost anything cherished more the God. I make an effort to be careful for liking things without considerate moderation. :)

To me, an idol is anything that is more important to you than God. Some worship money, some fame, some their own ego. If being right or seeking approval of your fellow man is all you think of, it is the idol you have placed before God and therefore a stumbling block. If that cup of coffee and morning paper is a must or you lose your cool and move out of Spirit, you have an idol. I highly suspect if we were all very honest with ourselves we all have an idol or two. It is the nature of here, to distract us from our primary purpose. May we all learn to keep our eye single.

Okay, what is an idol? This question can only be answered in two ways, spiritual or earthly. Let's take spiritually first. A spiritual idol is a material object representing a deity to which religious worship is addressed; an image of a deity other than God. This means that every Black American claiming Christianity as their religion and the Jewish Jesus God/Lord and Savior is worshiping a material object which is blasphemy. Since, the Jewish Jesus is a material object it is wrong for two reasons. Firstly the Jewish Jesus was a man which is a material object and secondly the Jewish Jesus is not a Black American and Black Americans are not Jewish people. Now, let us look at this question earthly. There is nothing wrong having an earthly idol. Michael Jackson is an earthly idol to someone. Superman and Batman are earthly idols. I need to correct Siebra. Siebra says that if you cannot do without your coffee then she says you have an idol. Siebra is describing a habit and nothing else. Remember that no man can be God neither would God be a man.

Yes! The Golden Calf is an example of idol worship especially since the Golden Calf is a material object. Jesus the Christ was a material object as well. Therefore, for anyone especially my Black American people to regard Jesus as their Lord and Savior and some go to the extent of saying that Jesus was God in the flesh is blasphemy to the Creator and idol worship. Ms. Bride is and idol worship while and don't really know and understand that she is.

It might be possible that man has turned Jesus into an Idol. What really matters is whether you can get the idol to work for you rather than your enemy. Years ago when I was a church goer, I decided to find a way to tell whether a message was meant for me or not. I would pick up an item on the way to church and say that if the item wasn't mentioned in the service that I wouldn't be concerned about what was preached. I can say without a doubt that there were times when the item I had was mentioned in the sermon. So I know Believing that God responses to you is "Why Faith in God makes the caged bird sing".

Opinions of idols vary. The main source however, remains that an idol; or idol worship is anything else loved or served more than the One God of heaven. Giving more worship to serve a man, reptile, foul, or man -made statures of gods, ect. True followers of God believe in His Son Jesus because God has made it perfectly clear Jesus was His and the "Word was made flesh" meaning Jesus." Many believe God and His Word and therefore are often falsely accused to worshipping a man; because they love Jesus. Jesus is the Spirit of God, However, men do not understand God neither, and men do not always understand God's ways. Men too, often want power and control over God's people so they can become a self-made idol. In this, idols of men want to rule and claim they are God--and even they have God's permission to have His people. There is but One God. He does not lie

Mr. Soso, Your Mom and Dad can not be your idol. They are more so your role model! An idol is something that has to life; it is an object! The White Jewish Jesus is an idol to the Black American Christians!
