IDOLATRY
What Is the Biblical Definition of Idolatry?
Idolatry is the worship of any being or object other than the true God, or the worship of supposed images of Jehovah himself (Ex. 20:3-6).
A more subtle form of idolatry is the slavish yielding to one's passions (Phil. 3:19; Col. 3:5).
Idolatry is strongly condemned and, if persisted in, will lead to eternal ruin (1 Cor. 6:9; Gal. 5:20-21). See GODS.
