The commandments of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam forbid worshiping Idols.
AnswerThe Bible is very raw and frank when speaking about the use of idols in worship.Not only does it command against using idols in the second of the ten commandments given to Moses (Exodus 20:4,5; also a repetition in Deuteronomy 5:8,9) - - but in many places, the Bible actually RIDICULES the use of images in worship. These 'ridicules' actually supplement the 'commandments'; and impress upon mankind the silliness of being so devoted to the use of idols.
In the following example you can actually sense the 'sarcasm' from Jehovah God towards idols.
Example: Psalm 115:4-8 (The following combines some excerpts from various translations. Please allow for my own flavored additions.)
They make idols of silver and gold; (shiny and glistening)
Handmade, in a basement shop; (the Message paraphrased version)
They have a mouth alright but they can't speak with it; and they can't smile; nor frown;
They have pretty little painted eyes but can't see a darn thing; They can't wink. They can't even stare you down;
They have pretty little tin ears but can't hear a stitchin' thing
They have a nose but can't smell the pretty flowers, nor smell the stench of garbage.
They have pretty little hands but they can't feel a thing. They can't grasp anything. They can't hold onto anything; they can't even scratch themselves;
Yes, they have feet alright but they can't walk an inch. They can't run, they can't jump. They can't play hide & seek.
You can ask the idols a question but they can't reply; They utter no sound with their throat; they can't even gargle. They can't even whisper 'Help' when someone comes along with a sledge hammer.
Notice the conclusion: Those making them, will become just like them.
This is but one example in the Bible of how God HIMSELF ridicules the use of images in worship.
The second commandment in the Bible forbids the worship of idols. It states that people should not make or worship any graven images, or anything that represents a false god.
The Ten Commandments are a foundational set of religious laws given to Moses by God in the Judeo-Christian tradition. They focus on moral and ethical principles, whereas laws of other groups may encompass a wider range of regulations for society. Additionally, the Ten Commandments are believed to have divine origins, giving them a unique significance in the Abrahamic religions.
There is no official definition for "pagenist." It could be a misspelling or typographical error. If you meant "paganist," it typically refers to someone who follows Pagan religious or spiritual beliefs.
There are traditionally ten commandments of God in the Bible. These commandments outline moral and ethical guidelines for living a righteous life.
The summary of all the demands of the Ten Commandments is to love God wholeheartedly and to love others as ourselves. This encompasses honoring God, not worshiping idols, keeping the Sabbath holy, honoring parents, avoiding murder, adultery, stealing, false witness, and coveting what belongs to others. By following these principles, one can live a righteous and moral life.
God gave the Ten Commandments to Moses on Mount Sinai.
In reference to the 10 commandments in the Bible, the first 3 commandments are about God's relationship with the individual (found in Exodus 20). 1. Have no other gods before God. 2. Do not make idols. 3. Do not use the Lord's name in vain.

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.
