Flee Idolatry

[Mr. M]

In a word: "Covetousness"

Colossians 3:5 Therefore put to death your members which are on the earth: 

fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry. 

6 Because of these things the wrath of God is coming upon the sons of disobedience, 

7 in which you yourselves once walked when you lived in them.

 

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

 

1 John 5:

20 And we know that the Son of God has come

and has given us an understanding, 

that we may know Him who is true;

and we are in Him who is true,

in His Son Jesus Christ. 

This is the true God and eternal life.

21 Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.

Romans 13:

9 For the commandments, “You shall not commit adultery,”

“You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,”

“You shall not bear false witness,” “You shall not covet,” 

and if there is any other commandment, are all summed

up in this saying, namely, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” 

10 Love does no harm to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.

Deuteronomy 5:

21 ‘You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife; and you shall not desire

your neighbor’s house, his field, his male servant, his female servant,

his ox, his donkey, or anything that is your neighbor’s.’

Is to covet what is your neighbor's harmful to your neighbor,

or to yourself?
