I'm not talking about some little statue in the closet. The most dangerous idols are much more subtle than that. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Leviticus%2018:21&version=NIV 2009-09-17T15:18:51-05:00 God tells the Israelites that they are not to sacrifice any of their children to Molech. Molech was an idol that was used to kill children by burning them alive. The idol was heated and the children were placed in it's hands. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm%2082:1-8&version=NIV 2009-08-19T18:10:22-05:00 In this psalm, God challenges the false gods worshiped in Old Testament times and points out their obvious inability to match God's own actions.
