the first commandment prohibits idolatry because believing in false gods is against the catholic religion.
having other gods before the real god
The Seventh Commandment. Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery AND The Tenth Commandment. Thou Shalt Not Covet thy neighbors...anything! AND The First Commandment. Thou Shalt have NO other Gods before me.
In the Holy Bible, God gave Moses the 10 commandment that the people of Israel should like by. The first of those commandments is ÒI am the Lord thy God; and thou shalt have no other gods before meÓ.
This is the First Commandment given to the Hebrew people on Mount Sinai.
The first commandment of the Lord typically refers to "You shall have no other gods before me." This commandment emphasizes the monotheistic nature of many religions and the importance of placing the one true God above all other things in life. It serves as a foundation for faith and devotion to a higher power.
It means you should not believe in any other gods but the one and only God
"You shall have no other gods before me," is the first commandment and it meant that God's people were not to worship idols or false gods that the pagans around them were worshiping. It also carries the meaning that God's people should not put anything between Him and them. Anything you value as more important than God is considered to be an affront to Him and considered to be a strange god.
The premise of the question is debatable, considering that at the opening of the 21st Century, there is only one culture in existence worldwide with a continuous history of more than 4000 years, which in a way falls short of the description of "defeat and destruction".
There is no such thing as black magic and white magic gods. The Gods of Witches are the ancient Gods you read about in mythology. Some are portrayed with a kind temperament while others not so much.
not really because you can make your owe choices and god wont mind coz that's your choice
This is the first of the Ten Commandments. Some scholars have noted that the commandment does not necessarily prohibit the Jews from worshipping other gods, merely that they must not come before, or above, God Almighty.
