Man began with the knowledge of God. But the knowledge of God was so uncomfortable to man in his sin and rebellion that man turned away from God and sought a more comfortable god of his own making. Such a person is beginning the same downward spiral into idolatry. It teaches that idolatry is not an indication of man s search for God. It is just the opposite.
Idolatry is the evidence of man s rejection of the truth.
Idolatry makes God angry. And not just the kind of idolatry which makes a statue of a man or a bird or a cow or a creepy crawly. All idolatry makes God angry. Even the sophisticated and subtle kinds. If not, then you are engaged in idolatry.
