MANUFACTURERS OF IDOLS ll

2/10/2018

In our previous program, he said and incised, that the idols, or idolatry, are not really the images and figures made of different types of material, plaster, wood, gold, silver, etc, that reprecentan a deity, 

we know that one of the great struggles of God with the people of Israel, was idolatry, 
Geremias 18:11 Now, then, speak 
then to every man of Judah and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem,
saying: Thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I have evil dispossessed
against you, and I plot against you designs; become
now each one of his evil ways, and improve his ways and
his work. 
12 And they said, It is in vain; because in pursuit of our 
idols we will go, and we will make everyone the thought of our

evil heart

the bible makes clear that God is just, and works with justice, by justice we understand, that God demands responsibility from man, first informs him, and makes him aware, of good or evil that he should or should not do, 
 Numbers 14: 17 Now, then, I beg you 
May the power of the Lord be magnified, as you spoke, saying:
Jehovah, slow to anger and great in mercy, than 18
forgive iniquity and rebellion, though not in any way
you will be  clearing the guilty; who visits the wickedness of the

parents over children up to third and fourth generation.

Salms 92:14 nuestro Dios floreceran. Aun en la vejez fructificaran; Estaran 
vigorosos y verdes, Para anunciar que Jehová mi fortaleza es 15

recto, Y que en él no hay injusticia.


to Adam he said explicitly, do not eat from the tree, 
the people of Israel gave them the ten commandments,
to the Gentiles tells us to believe in Christ Jesus
everyone is held responsible, what they should and should not do, 

Eva's case was not the excuse, 
I mean Eva because it is the first case of idolatry that the bible records, all disobedience to God is idolatry, the bible calls it obstinacy, hardness of heart, rebelliousness, arrogance,

Eve, preferred to obey Satan instead of God, the act of obedience and service,  are acts of worship, when they are directed towards the creature, instead of God is idolatry, Romans 1:21 

Romans 1:19 For the wrath of God is
reveals from heaven against all ungodliness and injustice of the
 men who hold the truth in injustice; because what
God knows they are manifest, for God manifested it to them.
20 For the invisible things of him, his eternal power and deity,
they are clearly visible from the creation of the world, being
understood by the things done, so that they do not
21 have an excuse. For having known God, they did not glorify Him
like God, they did not thank him, but they were puffed up
in his reasonings, and his foolish heart was darkened.
22, 23 Professing to be wise, they became fools, and changed the glory
of the incorruptible God in the image of man
24 corruptible, birds, quadrupeds and reptiles. Whereby
God also gave them to filth, in lusts
of their hearts, so that they dishonored their
25 own bodies, since they changed the truth of God for the
lying, honoring and worshiping the creatures before
26 Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. 


From the disobedience of man, all the descendants of Adam developed an irreversible nature for autonomy, 
what makes us reveal ourselves to all authority, and dominion over us, 

Salms :2 Because people are rioted, And peoples think things
2 vain? The kings of the earth will arise, and princes will consult
united against Jehovah and against his anointed, saying:
3 Let us break their bands, and cast away their cords from us.
4 He who dwells in heaven will laugh; The Lord will mock them.

5 Then he will speak to them in his wrath, and trouble them with his wrath.

but Adam is responsible for his rebellion and we responsible for ours, Adam and Eve are not responsible for our sin,

Ezekiel 18:20 The soul that sins, that soul will die; the son does not
will bear the sin of the father, nor the father bear the sin of
son; the righteousness of the righteous will be upon him, and the impiety of impious
21 will be about him. But the impious, if he will turn away from all his sins
what he did, and keep all my statutes and do according to
22 Law and justice will surely live; will not die. All
the transgressions that he committed will not be remembered; in its

23 justice that made you live. 

The images, and figures, that people worship and worship, are not the actual expression of their idolatry, against the TRUE God, but one of a million ways to express their rebellion against God, 

especting  God to understand; move aside, and you can continue to do what you are most passionate about (idolatry is a way of saying: God i`m sorry, I would like to serve you, but I already have someone, so I can`t,)

the real expression of idolatry, is so subtle and complex, that although it includes, the images, and figures, these are only the branches and leaves, of a tree, but that its root remains out of sight of all, 


and in many cases the removal of the branches trunk and leaves of a tree, could be a good effort to eradicate idolatry, 

as in the case of the Jews, that after the deportation to Babylon, there was no turn to record acts of idolatry, in the nation, 

giving the appearance of a regeneration, but wene they were exposed to the truth that is Jesus Christ, then a more complex way of idolatry was revealed , 
Matthew 23: 27 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because you are similar

to bleached sepulchres, that outwardly, to the truth,

they are beautiful, but inside they are full of bones
of dead and of all filth. So also you for 28
outside, to the truth, you show yourself righteous to men, but for
inside you are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.

in which they were not even in a position to give an account for the intervention of the Holy Spirit, for the Word of God 

John 16: 8 But I tell you the truth: It is better for you that I go; 7
because if I did not leave, the Comforter would not come to you;
but if I went, I would send it to you. And when he comes, he will convince 8
to the world of sin, of justice and of judgment. Of sin, for 9
how much they do not believe in me; of justice, because I go to the Father, and 10
you will not see me anymore; and of judgment, because the prince of this 11

world has already been judged.

to be clean of idolatry, it is not only a question of renouncing the practice of bowing down and venerating images, but of a total transformation of the heart, whose nature is changed and ready to WORSHIP, and to obey God, above anything, and that it is a work that is not within our reach, because only God has the power to do it, and he wants to do it and he is willing, 

accept with humility, the transformation that God offers us, amen
