The Psychology of Idolatry (Rival Gods) // Ty Gibson

If I worship the idols of our celebrity culture, I am worshiping myself vicariously through the image they project.

God is awesome and you are awesome. I've been searching for answers for the priority one of 10 commandments or the cultural value top priority of Christianity, and seems here it is. Seems having a habit of humiliation is the top priority. And it is not enough, but should accompany with love and god's loving leadership. Thank you! I will watch all your Rival Gods series.......

Worship or prayer is an emotional, psychological and a behavioral phenomenon that involves our cognitive abilities. There are various methods and techniques to perform prayer or worship ranging from subtle to intense from mental involvement to mental and physical involvement. It stimulates the release of certain bio chemicals that has an impact on the well being of our physical and mental health. So if we only look into the biological perspective the question about whom we worship does not arises as it is just a innate physiological phenomenon.

Rival "gods" in parenthesis should be lowered cased.

The blind cannot see the idols of the nations high and lifted up on a flag pole, because the idols of the nations are made of fabric. The nations made graven images of fabric, in the likeness of the stars of heaven, in the likeness of the moon, in the likeness of the sun, in the likeness of birds, and in the likeness of four footed beasts of the earth, and the nations set the graven images of fabric in the flag, to serve them. The idols of the nations of wood and stone were replaced with idols of fabric, and the blind cannot see the idols of fabric, high and lifted up on a flag pole. Idolatry is through the pledge of allegiance to the flag and anthem. When the king of Babylon the great played the anthem at the sound of music the Babylonians bowed down to the ground and worshipped the image of the golden statue of the earth. When the US plays the anthem at the sound of music the US stand on their feet and worshipped the image of the star spangled of heaven with a song. When the nations play the anthem at the sound of music the nations stand on their feet and worshipped the image of their idol of fabric with a song. The god of the US is the image of the star spangled of heaven, and the image of the bald eagle of the earth. The god of Israel is the image of the star remphan of heaven Acts 7:43 The god of Mexico is the image of the eagle and serpent of the earth. The god of Canada is the image of the leaf of the maple tree of the earth. The god of Japan is the image of the sun of heaven. Those who believe what God said in Exodus 20:3-5, or in Deuteronomy 4:15-19, don't pledge allegiance to the flag, or play the anthem. The nations call their idols of fabric of the flag "symbols".. God calls the nations symbols of fabric of the flag "idols". When ancient Israel made flag banners in the wilderness, ancient Israel did not pledge allegiance to the flag banners, or played the anthem to the flag banners, because God was their banner. God is not going to share His glory with the idols of the nations made of fabric, in the likeness of heaven above, or in the likeness of the earth below.

IDOLATRY - Are you familiar with the Bible account of King Sennacherib of Assyria destroying many "Israelite" cities? People in those cities called themselves Israelites, yet their customs contradicted their claim. If they did not surrender to Sennacherib they were tortured / killed. Only Jerusalem was protected by Jehovah because King Hezekiah cleared IDOLATRY out of the city. Jehovah's angel killed 185,000 Assyrians in one night. 2 Kings 18:13, Isaiah 36, 37.
