"worship of idols"
Leviticus 26.1

- neither rear you up a standing image,
- neither shall ye set up any image of stone in your land,
- to bow down unto it:
- for I am the LORD your God.
The definition of idolatry has been a contested topic
WRONG "All sin is idolatry " WRONG
Idolatry is the worship of an idol as though it were God.
- 11 But now I have written unto you not to keep company,
- if any man that is called a brother be .... an idolater ....
- with such an one no not to eat.
- Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.
If one really wanted to hurt a man
he could start a rumor
that his bride is committing fornication
That is what you are doing
when you say you have idols in the Church
The Church is the Bride of Christ
and will never have idols.
