Well, in the ten commandments God says to have no idols above him. When you make anything more important to you than God, school, work, relationships, music, anything, then you are disobeying that commandment.

One such reference can be found in the New Testament, specifically in 1 John 2:15-17, where it warns against loving the world or the things in it more than loving God. This passage emphasizes the importance of prioritizing spiritual values over material desires.

Who was Susanna in the New Testament?

I supose the simplist answer would be to quote the scripture where Susanna is mentioned from Luke chapter 8. 1 AND it came to pass afterward, that he went throughout every city and village, preaching and shewing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God: and the twelve were with him, 2 And certain women, which had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven devils, 3 And Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others, which ministered unto him of their substance. There is litle else known about Susanna except as mentioned in the above scripture.


What is Allah's favorite color?

I don't believe God (swt) has a favourite color, He doesen't think like us humans. Perhaps He likes all colors equally? Prophet Muhammad's (pbuh) favourite color is green though. I've also heard he liked white. It is also told that in Heaven, people will wear green garments.

Who is above god?

Nobody is above God. We humans are created beings and angels are created beings too, God is on a higher level than we are on. I Amanda is on the 3rd level, The angels are on the 2nd level and God is on the 1st Level. There are no other gods before Yahweh it is written ``You shall have no other gods before Me`` says Yahweh. Only Yahweh is God, Yahweh is God alone.But the Covenant which G'd has made with Israel is above G'd. So... G'd is above G'd. While you can have theoretically, a level above one Being, (perhaps there is a G'd above G'd; who does G'd worship?) There cannot be one above the Law, since there would still have to be the Law. The Law stays even with multiple hierarchical levels. This is one of two solutions Hillel made to the criterion problem.

Amen.Throughout the Bible, it tells us of God's supremacy.
