What does the Bible say about choosing between God and false gods?
Answered in 1 source
The Bible teaches that we cannot halt between two opinions; we must choose one Lord, as stated in 1 Kings 18:21.
In 1 Kings 18:21, Elijah challenges the Israelites with the question, 'How long halt ye between two opinions? If the Lord be God, follow Him: but if Baal, then follow him.' This passage emphasizes that there is no middle ground in our allegiance; one must choose to follow the one true God or turn to false gods. The Israelites had been vacillating between worshiping Jehovah and Baal, seeking advantages from both, which led them into spiritual confusion. Elijah's call was a definitive reminder of the importance of fidelity to the true God, highlighting that divided loyalties are unacceptable in the pursuit of faith.
