Do you agree that holding onto the words of men and books is
also a form of idolatry?
=======
The so-called reformed people are notorious
for this; they adore men and incessantly quote their words instead of the
Scriptures, rightly dividing them. Just visit some "Reformed..." groups on Facebook
and you will confirm this observation.
Mark 7 KJT
5 Then the Pharisees
and scribes asked him, Why walk not thy disciples according to the tradition of
the elders, but eat bread with unwashen hands?
6 He answered and
said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is
written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from
me.
7 Howbeit in vain do
they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
8 For laying aside
the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots
and cups: and many other such like things ye do.
9 And he said unto
them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own
tradition. See less

Sadly appropriate
for many who have made an idol of the organization they believe is the
"one true church."

Bill, I have
come across not a few such adherents; not belonging to their organisation
renders one outside of that "one true church"!
Bill
Sing: And some,
like me, have been set at nought and cast aside from their organization. We are
still servants of the Most High God, though, dear brother. Not afraid of men's
meritless assumptions.

An Idol.
What is it?
What is the purpose
of it?
These two questions can help us navigate through the many accusations men make and receive.

“Then came certain of the elders of Israel unto me, and sat before me. Son of man, these men have set up their idols in their heart, and put the stumblingblock of their iniquity before their face: should I be enquired of at all by them? Therefore speak unto them, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Every man of the house of Israel that setteth up his idols in his heart, and putteth the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to the prophet; I the LORD will answer him that cometh according to the multitude of his idols; that I may take the house of Israel in their own heart, because they are all estranged from me through their idols. Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Repent, and turn yourselves from your idols; and turn away your faces from all your abominations.”
Ezekiel 14:1, 3-6 KJV
