>>Are you uncomfortable discussing your view of what is idolatry and why? If so..<<<

I’m not uncomfortable at all. Using words directly from God is a totally firm foundation.

It is a very good foundation.

The question here is how do you use this foundation when you determine, as you are on this thread, what an idol is and who is guilty of the sin of idolatry?

If, for example, you assume someone did bow down in front of Michelangelo’s painting - this image of God. Would they thereby be guilty of idolatry? And would the painting be an idol?

Because - back to the point - before we decide someone is guilty of idolatry we should be very clear on precisely how we determine that.

Don’t you agree?
