What does the Bible say about idols and false religion?
Answered in 1 source
The Bible warns against idols as creations of man's imagination that cannot save, emphasizing that there is only one true God.
The Bible repeatedly warns against false religion and the making of idols, which are anything that a person looks to or reverences with a heart of worship. In Isaiah 45:16-21, God declares that those who create and worship idols will be ashamed and confused, as these idols cannot save. Idols are not only physical representations but also any created constructs in the heart that distract from the true worship of God. The apostle Paul alerts Timothy to the danger of deceivers who are shaped by corrupt teachings, urging believers to remain steadfast in the truth of God's revelation through Christ.
