gods - False

Bible Questions Answered:
“...I asked my neighbor to church and he said that he couldn't because of his work on his car, a 64 vet, he's put some $ 3,000 in repairs into this thing. How else can I get him into church service...”
Randy/ Hampton, Virginia U.S.A.

Bible Answer:

Bible Texts:

God:
A being or object believed to have more than natural attributes and powers and to require human worship; specifically : one controlling a particular aspect or part of reality
(Merriam-Webster)

Some times we are too close to the forest to see the trees. Many are already in worship service. They are in the worship of worldly things, which is their god, whether they realize it or not.

In Israel's past, Idols were the things of worship:

False gods:

The Phoenician goddess: Ashtaroth.
The Phoenician god: Baal.
A Moabite god: Baal-Peor.
A Moabite god: Chemosh.
A Philistine god: Dagon.
A goddess of thje Ephesians: Diana.
A Ammonite god: Molesh.

Isaiah 2:8 KJV
Their land also is full of idols; they worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made:

Jeremiah 11:12 KJV
Then shall the cities of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem go, and cry unto the gods unto whom they offer incense: but they shall not save them at all in the time of their trouble.

Daniel 5:4 KJV (Belshazzar)
They drank wine, and praised the gods of gold, and of silver, of brass, of iron, of wood, and of stone.

Psalm 115:4-13 KJV
4 Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.
5 They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not:
6 They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they smell not:
7 They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they, but they walk not: neither speak they through their throat.
8 They that make them are like unto them; so is every one that trusteth in them.
9 O Israel, trust thou in The Lord: He is their help and their shield.
10 O house of Aaron, trust in The Lord: He is their help and their shield.
11 Ye that fear The Lord, trust in The Lord: He is their help and their shield.
12 The Lord hath been mindful of us: He will bless us; He will bless the house of Israel; He will bless the house of Aaron.
13 He will bless them that fear The Lord, both small and great.

Today sensible people, don't worship idols wood or stone, but they have gods just the same. Anything that demands ones attention, service and sacrifice, is a false god.

I John 2:15-17 KJV
15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of The Father is not in him.
16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of The Father, but is of the world.
17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

I John 2:15-17 NLT
15 Do not love this world nor the things it offers you, for when you love the world, you do not have the love of The Father in you.
16 For the world offers only a craving for physical pleasure, a craving for everything we see, and pride in our achievements and possessions. These are not from The Father, but are from this world.
17 And this world is fading away, along with everything that people crave. But anyone who does what pleases God will live forever.

Matthew 10:37-39 KJV (Jesus)
37 He that loveth father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me.
38 And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after Me, is not worthy of Me.
39 He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for My sake shall find it.

False gods, oh yes, they are still in the land.

Psalms 115:8 KJV
They that make them are like unto them; so is every one that trusteth in them. (Deaf, dumb, and lifeless.)

When idol worshipers, one day will be in need, they will find “no,” help from their idols!
But if we are a people who put The Lord first in our lives....

Psalm 115:11-13
11 Ye that fear The Lord, trust in The Lord: He is their help and their shield.
12 The Lord hath been mindful of us: He will bless us; He will bless the house of Israel; He will bless the house of Aaron. (God's people)
13 He will bless them that fear The Lord, both small and great.

Joshua's words are still profound today!

Joshua 24:15 KJV
But if serving The Lord seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve The Lord.”

Salvation Prayer

Jesus, be merciful to me a sinner. I confess and forsake my sins, and ask you to forgive me, and make me a child of God, for you have said, “...whosoever shall call on the name of The Lord shall be saved.” Acts 2:21 KJV

Thank you for dying for me, taking my place in judgment, that I might be pardoned. I take you as the Savior, and Lord (Master) of my life. Help me to read your word, confess you, and live for you.
Amen

John 1:12 KJVBut as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name:

John 3:16,17 KJV
16 For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.17 For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved.

John 6:37 KJV “...him that cometh to Me I will in no wise cast out.”
