IDOLATRY

GEN 35:2 Then Jacob said unto his household, and to all that were with him, Put

away the strange gods that are among you, and be clean, and change your

garments:

EXO 20:3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

EXO 20:4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any

thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in

the water under the earth.

EXO 20:5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the

LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the

children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;

EXO 20:23 Ye shall not make with me gods of silver, neither shall ye make unto

you gods of gold.

EXO 23:13 And in all things that I have said unto you be circumspect: and make

no mention of the name of other gods, neither let it be heard out of thy mouth.

EXO 32:4 And he received them at their hand, and fashioned it with a graving

tool, after he had made it a molten calf: and they said, These be thy gods, O

Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.

LEV 19:4 Turn ye not unto idols, nor make to yourselves molten gods: I am the

LORD your God.

LEV 26:1 Ye shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you up a

standing image, neither shall ye set up any image of stone in your land, to bow

down unto it: for I am the LORD your God.

DEU 4:16 Lest ye corrupt yourselves, and make you a graven image, the

similitude of any figure, the likeness of male or female,

DEU 4:19 And lest thou lift up thine eyes unto heaven, and when thou seest the

sun, and the moon, and the stars, even all the host of heaven, shouldest be

driven to worship them, and serve them, which the LORD thy God hath divided unto

all nations under the whole heaven.

DEU 4:28 And there ye shall serve gods, the work of men's hands, wood and

stone, which neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell.

DEU 27:15 Cursed be the man that maketh any graven or molten image, an

abomination unto the LORD, the work of the hands of the craftsman, and putteth

it in a secret place. And all the people shall answer and say, Amen.

1SA 15:23 For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as

iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, he hath

also rejected thee from being king.

2KI 18:4 He removed the high places, and brake the images, and cut down the

groves, and brake in pieces the brasen serpent that Moses had made: for unto

those days the children of Israel did burn incense to it: and he called it

Nehushtan.

PSA 115:4 Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.

PSA 115:5 They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see

not:

ISA 42:17 They shall be turned back, they shall be greatly ashamed, that trust

in graven images, that say to the molten images, Ye are our gods.

ISA 45:20 Assemble yourselves and come; draw near together, ye that are escaped

of the nations: they have no knowledge that set up the wood of their graven

image, and pray unto a god that cannot save.

ISA 47:13 Thou art wearied in the multitude of thy counsels. Let now the

astrologers, the stargazers, the monthly prognosticators, stand up, and save

thee from these things that shall come upon thee.

ISA 57:5 Enflaming yourselves with idols under every green tree, slaying the

children in the valleys under the clifts of the rocks?

JER 19:4 Because they have forsaken me, and have estranged this place, and have

burned incense in it unto other gods, whom neither they nor their fathers have

known, nor the kings of Judah, and have filled this place with the blood of

innocents;

JER 19:5 They have built also the high places of Baal, to burn their sons with

fire for burnt offerings unto Baal, which I commanded not, nor spake it, neither

came it into my mind:

EZE 23:37 That they have committed adultery, and blood is in their hands, and

with their idols have they committed adultery, and have also caused their sons,

whom they bare unto me, to pass for them through the fire, to devour them.

ACT 15:29 That ye abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from

things strangled, and from fornication: from which if ye keep yourselves, ye

shall do well. Fare ye well.

ACT 17:22 Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars' hill, and said, Ye men of

Athens, I perceive that in all things ye are too superstitious.

ACT 17:23 For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with

this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him

declare I unto you.

ACT 17:29 Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think

that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's

device.

ROM 1:22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

ROM 1:23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like

to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.

ROM 1:25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the

creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

1CO 6:9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God?

Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor

effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,

1CO 6:10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor

extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

1CO 8:1 Now as touching things offered unto idols, we know that we all have

knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up, but charity edifieth.

1CO 8:2 And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet

as he ought to know.

1CO 8:3 But if any man love God, the same is known of him.

1CO 8:4 As concerning therefore the eating of those things that are offered in

sacrifice unto idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that

there is none other God but one.

1CO 8:5 For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in

earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,)

1CO 8:6 But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and

we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.

1CO 8:7 Howbeit there is not in every man that knowledge: for some with

conscience of the idol unto this hour eat it as a thing offered unto an idol;

and their conscience being weak is defiled.

1CO 8:8 But meat commendeth us not to God: for neither, if we eat, are we the

better; neither, if we eat not, are we the worse.

1CO 8:9 But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a

stumblingblock to them that are weak.

1CO 8:10 For if any man see thee which hast knowledge sit at meat in the idol's

temple, shall not the conscience of him which is weak be emboldened to eat those

things which are offered to idols;

1CO 8:11 And through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom

Christ died?

1CO 8:12 But when ye sin so against the brethren, and wound their weak

conscience, ye sin against Christ.

1CO 8:13 Wherefore, if meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh

while the world standeth, lest I make my brother to offend.

1CO 10:7 Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, The

people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.

1CO 10:14 Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry.

1CO 10:20 But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they

sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have

fellowship with devils.

1CO 12:2 Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto these dumb idols,

even as ye were led.

COL 2:18 Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and

worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen,

vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,

1PE 4:3 For the time past of our life may suffice us to have wrought the will

of the Gentiles, when we walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine,

revellings, banquetings, and abominable idolatries:

1JO 5:21 Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.

REV 2:14 But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them

that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock

before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to

commit fornication.

REV 2:20 Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou

sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and

to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto

idols.

REV 9:20 And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet

repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils,

and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither

can see, nor hear, nor walk:

REV 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers,

and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their

part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second

death.
