Idolatry
- Idolatry is turning good things into ultimate things.
- People rarely make idols out of bad things, but rather elevate good things to an unhealthy level.
Ancient Idolatry Practices
- Ancient people worshipped at high places like oaks and green trees, often associated with fertility.
- They performed impure acts, believing they appeased gods of fertility, combining idolatry with lewd conduct.
Molech and Child Sacrifice
- People practiced child sacrifice to Molech, a false god with a heated metal statue.
- This highlights the extreme lengths people went to for false worship, claiming to do right while committing horrific acts.
