Has it intentionally been led astray?In her book Idol Worship in Christianity, Ernestine D Motouom talks about her experiences as a Catholic votary and the realignment of her faith as a born-again Christian. She discusses the gradual corruption of Christian faith through the adoption of pagan practices put forth or initiated by the great apostate and emancipator Nimrod, the grandson of Noah, right after the flood.

Book Description
The American church today is full of idolatry. We may not worship graven images, but we do worship other gods. Most of which we're not even aware of. The gods of our preferences. The gods of our selfish endeavors. When we gather for corporate worship on Sunday mornings, many of us believe we are worshipping God-alone, when we are actually worshipping God-and. God and our idols. Style preference, traditions, even doctrine can be an idol. This book presents 14 "golden calves" that are keeping today's church from its destiny. If we really step back and, for just a moment, stop presuming that we have it all together, the Lord of our lives will reveal to us areas that He wants to correct and purify.

Book Description
The heart of the biblical understanding of idolatry, argues Gregory Beale, is that we take on the characteristics of what we worship. Employing Isaiah 6 as his interpretive lens, Beale demonstrates that this understanding of idolatry permeates the whole canon, from Genesis to Revelation. Beale concludes with an application of the biblical notion of idolatry to the challenges of contemporary life.

Book Description
Idol worship is the practice of venerating and paying homage to an idol or physical object as a representation of a deity or spiritual being. It is a form of religious devotion that has been practiced in many cultures throughout history. Idol worship is often associated with polytheistic religions, such as Hinduism, Buddhism, and Shintoism, but it can also be found in some monotheistic religions, such as Christianity and Islam. In Hinduism, idols are seen as physical representations of the divine and are used to focus the worshipper's attention on the deity they are worshipping. Hindus believe that by worshipping an idol, they can gain access to the divine power of the deity represented by the idol. Hindus also believe that by worshipping an idol, they can gain blessings from the deity and receive protection from evil forces. In Buddhism, idols are used to represent various aspects of Buddhist teachings and beliefs. Buddhists believe that by worshipping an idol, they can gain insight into their own spiritual journey and develop a deeper understanding of Buddhist teachings. Buddhists also use idols to help them focus their meditation practice and cultivate mindfulness. In Shintoism, idols are used to represent kami (spirits) and other supernatural beings. Shintoists believe that by worshipping an idol, they can gain access to the power of these spirits and receive protection from evil forces. Shintoists also use idols to help them focus their prayers and offerings to kami. Idol worship has been criticized by some religious groups for its perceived lack of spiritual depth or connection with a higher power. However, for many people who practice idol worship, it is an important part of their religious tradition and provides them with a meaningful way to connect with their faith.
