Idolatry may be the most frequently committed sin, with five of the Ten Commandments dealing directly with covetousness and idolatry, often due to our excessive concern with ourselves. Our individual system of beliefs from where we regulate our lives and create our ethical code is our own unique system of ethics, morality, and worship that seems right to us. Each of us could be viewed, as the “god” of our own system of beliefs. In the Bible, God, the Father and Jesus Christ challenge us to either defend our body of beliefs or drop them in favor of Their way of life. Since every system of law is a system of ethics and morality, every system of law is in itself can be viewed as a religion, as was the case of Caesar, in Jesus’ time as a flesh and blood human, our time now and as it will be with the future Beast prophesied in the book of Revelation. In the fulfillment of Revelation, human government is religious organization, the worship of the state, a worship of secularism, in which teachings of true Christianity is irrelevant.
If we make a covenant with God, we must stay loyal, obeying God rather than man. Character is forged in making the choice between God and the world, creating a conflict within our minds. In our current “progressive” society , God is disregarded, and His Laws reduced to situation ethics, with compromise and the path of less resistance, determining moral decisions.
If we honor God, the Father and Jesus Christ, we will come out of the world’s systems and follow Them, only. Our goals and spiritual motivation should come from God’s Laws, statutes, precepts, testimonies, and ways.
