It Means if you make a idol ( Like a statue ) Don't make it so you can worship it So if you are a Christian The Bible says obey the ten commandments and one says Do not worship other idols because we believe there is one and only god. It Means do not make a statue or Idol to worship because you should only worship god.
AnswerActually it also means a lot more that this.Some of the Jews of those times put other things (like fame and power) before God in heir lives. And the same happens today.
God requires us to place him first in our lives over and above everything else. Today's idols are things like wealth, fame, power, a bigger car, adulation of a pop star, a better house, the top mobile (cell) phone that is better than our friends', a bigger TV than our neighbours and so on. Whilst all these things are OK in themselves, when they become central to our lives over and above God, they become idols.
Idolatry is the worship of 'idols' or false gods.
I think that the answere is palythesim because if you go to church they will tell you It means that you dont know the real God. in reality you dont worship all of them. you just worship your imaginations.
It says in the book of Exodus "Do not have any other gods before me" Many took this, and still do, to mean "Worship no other god" It could also have been to do with the next Commandment, about not worshipping false idols.
This is disputed between different groups of Christians. The basic principle of the commandment is that you should not worship idols. Many religions at the time the Bible was written (and today) have as their gods as idols or statues. They keep them in temples, put clothes on them, leave them food, and so on. Because God is infinite, he cannot be depicted. He is not one God among many idols: he is God alone. The Catholic Church maintains that it is alright to create a sculpture of a religious figure, so long as you do not worship it as a god. The commandment ends with "and worship them", so it's not talking about making statutes, it's talking about making statues for the purposes of worship. Other Christians believe that the commandment means that you are forbidden from making any religious statues, even if you do not worship them. Similarly for Jews, who will not draw or depict God in any way.
No. The Bible forbids any type of idolatry, which is the use of idols, symbols, or icons in worship, so Jehovah's Witnesses understand that to mean that we are not use any kind of symbols or images in our worship.
what are objects? They are merely processes.One idol or any number of idols mean many objects or processes. Processes control time! One can be infinite if one is freed from all processes or become liberated observer! Being infinite is possible when mind is unlocked;for this idol worship helps as a tool. It is easy for Hindu to switch mind from one and many and infinite. Only Hindus can unlock and be truly liberated souls;easily!!!
Worship that is not in public.
Dont you mean 'how'?
In "Indian" language? What exactly is "Indian" language? If the question is, "What does pratika mean?" The answer is that pratika refers to objects used in worship such as images and idols. The pratika becomes an object of devotion and ritual worship as the devotees offer food to, bathe, burn incense before, pray to, etc. Pratika is ordinarily associated with the vast conglomeration of religious groups labeled, rather akwardly, Hinduism.

The Bible says "Thou shalt have no other gods before me." It simply means that God is telling us not to have any other gods or idols that take the place of Him. This is called committing idolotry and it is a sin.
No, it does not involve a worship of Hitler.
