What are some bibical examples of false gods and scriptures?

Answer 1

One example is found in 1 Samuel 5:1-6, when the people of Ashdod thought their god Dagon was superior to Jehovah. They had captured the Ark of the Covenant and brought it to the temple of Dagon, symbolizing that their god had powered their people to overtake Jehovah's, proving their god to be superior. However, each night the people of Ashdod would return to the temple and find their idol desecrated in 1 way or another, showing that Jehovah had simply allowed His people to be defeated as a way of punishing them.

Another (even more popular) example is the 10 plagues against Egypt. Jehovah's actions against Egypt was to prove that He was superior to their gods, and that His purpose wouldn't be stopped. (Exodus 3:19-20; 7:3-5, 17; 8:3, 16, 21; 9:2-3, 8-9, 13-16; 10:4, 21; 4-6)

Answer 2

Some biblical examples of false gods include Baal, worshipped by the Israelites in the Old Testament (1 Kings 18), and Molech, to whom children were sacrificed (Leviticus 18:21). The golden calf, created by the Israelites while Moses was on Mount Sinai, is another significant example of idolatry (Exodus 32:1-4). These instances illustrate the recurring theme of turning away from the true God to worship created things or deities, often leading to dire consequences.
