That's cool. Idolatry occurs when we give control of our life to someone or something other than God. As you said, anything becomes permissible once we do that. Consider King David. Once he turned control over to self or lust he was able to commit adultery with Bathsheba and then murder Uriah. These two sins would not have been possible while under control to God. Considering how easily sin sometimes enters our lives, maybe we are more susceptible to idolatry than we realize.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
