Idolatry
I state clearly in my first book The Covenants of the gods:
- This book is a beginning. It is not intended to supply an answer. "And the King shall answer…" The quotes are not to edify an authority in your mind. "Little children, let no man deceive you…" The use of logic is not to lead you. "Let no man deceive you with vain words…" Any teaching of established doctrines of men is impugned, "lest in vain we teach for doctrines the commandments of men". Any advice that is taken from these writings was not intended.
I write a great deal about how the words we read are translated with many many inconsistencies. These inconsistencies show a clear agenda. I also show that the Greek English dictionaries had already been altered by men with an agenda that was contrary to Christ and even the holy spirit. I show how the Bible has been used to bring a strong delusion into the minds of the people so that they might believe a lie.
The purpose of the book is to make you uncomfortable with the lie.
The way most people use the Bible and churches is to make themselves comfortable with the lie. In order to do that the must reverence those things. This eventually requires that they defend them mentally if not physically. This leads to attacks, that lead to wars and murder. All because men make a thing sacred which is idolatry.
What most people call the Bible did not exist until a few centuries ago. The early texts of what was translated into the Bible did not exist as a book until centuries after Christ, so it is true that Jesus never quoted from the Bible. He did quote from books that were eventually included in the original source for the Bible but also quoted and referred to books that were not included in the Bible. Some of his very same parables and metaphors are also found in the writings of Buddha.
I believe that the word of God is not found in a book or even in the words that I say. It is a spiritual thing, a thing not only of another dimension but a thing at the core of all dimensions. It can not be heard by the ears on the side of your head or read by your eyes or deciphered by the brain by which they function.
Only those who have ears to hear and eyes to see can receive the word of God. There were those who stood around Jesus and listened to him speak but still did not hear the word of God. How do we believe that a written translation after sophists have had access to dictionaries and scripts that we could have the word of God in our hand.
That is vain thinking because it ultimately depends upon us to interpret it. If it requires the spirit to tell us what it means then the spirit must be independent of the text.
I believe that the Bible as we have it is a valuable book but it may not be sacred as in holy. Holiness cannot reside in dead stones or the printed words of a book. It listeth where it will and dwells in the living souls of men. You can not receive the word of God from books or magic lamps. Nor can men give it to you for men and the things they make are not the source. To make them the source is to make them the god of your understanding which is to make the things men make your god before the God. Again this is idolatry. It does not matter that the idol is the KJV or Peshitta or Black's Law dictionary or the Constitution.
Although one might call the Bible a gift or testimony so also are the trees and creatures of earth and the stars of heaven.
If we carved a tree into an image of our own imagination and held it up as something sacred we would say that it was an idol. We allow men to carve the written accounts of men who walked with Jesus into what we call the Bible and then look at it through the glasses given by dictionary writers and call it sacred too. That is idolatry also.
Everyone has an imagination. It is the screen upon which we project our thoughts... But what is the source of those thoughts? Is it the spirit and will of God the Father or is it our own will or the will of sophists and spirit of demons?
What is the answer?
How do we know what is true. Can we decide the good and evil the right and wrong?
Is our own attempt to make such decision the very sin that brought us to this desperate chaos?
The answer is determined by our exousia, our right of choice. We choose to accept the Truth or not. To eat of the tree of life or not. We choose to project good and evil in our own imagination or not.
We may pretend what we have done or allowed is good but that requires vanity, pride selfishness and a willingness to accept a lie. If we do that we must use something to project this lie upon our imagination. We need a source other than the spirit. We can easily use the bible to do this or other books, music, philosophies or philosophers.
You must shut off these other sources that are not spirit. You must let them go, see past their imaginary imagery.... You must still your own ambition, your own lust, desires of self. You cannot do this with will but you can do it with repentance. You must forgive others, you must give up what you once coveted, you must set aside your own will to that of the Father... you must be still and know that he is God.
The problem is not that we have imagination but that our imagination has us and someone or something else has the control of that imagination. This is the essence of delusion. To make a thing "sacred" takes you away from things of the spirit. It is a falling of the mind to the flesh and the things of the flesh and the Bible can do this the same as any other book or source. It is the way of evil to take the words, written or spoken, and turn them to his own will. This is the power of Babble. The only defense against this adversary is the Spirit of God which is the word or vibration of God.
You will not return to the Father until you let go of that which is not compatible with God and receive that which is. Reading, hearing with your ears will not make this happen. Only repentance, forgiveness and walking with the Spirit of God.

Most of the idolatry and adultery mentioned in the Bible has to do with national fornication and the worshiping of false gods.
Galatians 4:8 "Howbeit then, when ye knew not God, ye did service unto them which by nature are no gods.
gods Many SS Video Series 9-10 9:45 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yr1SBMbK5Aw
There are gods many Who are these gods many and what is a god? http://www.hisholychurch.org/sermon/godsmany.php
Creating a false god can be done by the use of stone, clay, wood or forms of wood like paper.
But it is not the images that we use to represent those gods but what those gods represent in our failure to do what God has desired to write upon our hearts and minds.
We create these gods many by making covenants with them, by praying to them, which means by application to them, usually for benefits offered by them in exchange for your loyalty, service and allegiance and thereby offering and bowing down to them in service to them.
- Exodus 23:32 "Thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor with their gods."
- Exodus 34:15 "Lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and they go a whoring after their gods, and do sacrifice unto their gods, and one call thee, and thou eat of his sacrifice;"
These false gods are sometimes represented by images like lions, bears and eagles or even statues of men or by flags but the sin is in giving them power over our choices through covetous and pride. This is, again, done often by application and participation to and with these 'men who call themselves benefactors but who exercise authority' over us and our neighbors.
- Luke 22:25 "And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors. But ye shall not be so..."
Seeking the kingdom is about learning to pray to God rather than coveting your neighbor's goods through the use of contracts, covenants and constitutions which involve coercing your neighbor into contributing to your personal welfare.
- Psalms 69:22 "Let their table become a snare before them: and that which should have been for their welfare, let it become a trap."
- Romans 11:9 "And David saith, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumblingblock, and a recompence unto them:"
We have gone so far from the simplicity of the Gospel of the Kingdom at hand that we have forgotten or no longer believe that communities and nations may live as free people without a coercive state to force us to care for our neighbor.
Striving to seek the liberty of the Kingdom and the righteousness of God is about learning to live in a society entirely dependent upon faith, hope and charity and the perfect law of liberty. This is what Christ came to teach us. It is His sacred doctrine and it is the purpose of the Church to help bring all men who will go the way of Christ closer to His Kingdom.
- Matthew 18:20 "For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them."
We are trapped in a system of the unrighteous mammon through at least some fault or neglect of our own. But God is forgiving and we may be friends with the unrighteous mammon as we began to seek more righteous habitation.
- Luke 13:24 "Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able."
