Thou shalt have no other
gods before me.
Exodus 20:3 (KJV)
Our God is a jealous God. He
does not want us to worship other gods as our lords.
How can one think that a god
made out of a tree stump can give them what they want? Or one made out
of stone or gold or silver? God was very clear in saying that we should
not worship any other gods. After all, He is the one who made us and so
we should treat Him with that respect and honor only Him.
How about our belongings? What would you do if you went out and bought the car of your dreams and got in a wreck on the way home? Or if your house was to burn down? We all come here with nothing and leave here the same way. We can't take anything with us. So why do we treasure all that we own? It's all on loan anyway.
Some people worship Mary, mother
of Jesus. She was a Godly woman indeed, but she is not a god and should
not be prayed to. She was blessed among all other women to give birth to
God's son, but was not a god herself.
It tells us in the Bible that
we are only to pray to God through His Son Jesus Christ.
Some people also worship Saints.
When we get saved, we all become saints so why should we worship one.
Some people worship Mother Earth. Others worship the stars and the planets. If you are not worshiping the Lord God Almighty, then you are worshiping Satan!
It's funny how all the other gods are made out of something that our one true God has made.
