Idolatry is the worship of an idol or a physical object as a representation of a god. In all the Abrahamic religions idolatry is strongly forbidden, although views as to what constitutes idolatry differ within and between them. In some other religions the use of idols is accepted. Which images, ideas, and objects constitute idolatry is often a matter of considerable contention.
Behaviour considered idolatrous or potentially idolatrous may include the creation of any type of image of the deity, or of other figures of religious significance such as prophets, saints, and clergy, the creation of images of any person or animal at all, and the use of religious symbols, or secular ones. In addition, Christian theologians, following Saint Paul, have extended the concept to include giving undue importance to other aspects of religion, or to non-religious aspects of life in general, with no involvement of images specifically. For example, the Catechism of the Catholic Church states: "Idolatry not only refers to false pagan worship. Man commits idolatry whenever he honours and reveres a creature in place of God, whether this be gods, or demons (for example satanism), power, pleasure, race, ancestors, the state, money etc." In some ultra-conservative Islamic societies with sharia law, idolaters may face the death penalty.
The Catholic Church, also known as the Roman Catholic Church, is the largest Christian church, with more than 1.25 billion members worldwide. One of the oldest religious institutions in the world, it has played a prominent role in the history of Western civilisation.Headed by the Bishop of Rome, known as the Pope, its doctrines are summarised in the Nicene Creed. The Catholic Church is also notable within the Western Christian tradition for its celebration of the seven sacraments.
The Catholic Church teaches that it is the one true church founded by Jesus Christ, that its bishops are the successors of Christ's apostles, and that the Pope is the successor to Saint Peter. The Church maintains that the doctrine on faith and morals that it declares as definitive is infallible. The Latin Church, the autonomous Eastern Catholic Churches and religious institutes such as the Jesuits, mendicant orders and enclosed monastic orders, reflect a variety of theological emphases in the Church.
[1st 3 commandments] 1. Thou shalt have no other gods before me. 2. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: 3. Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: ---------Scriptures referring to IDOLATRY and IDOL WORSHIP-------- [EZEKIEL 14:6] Thus saith the Lord GOD; Repent, and turn yourselves from your IDOLS; and turn away your faces from all your abominations.

UtsuP's LP of 2015! It is what you would always expect from him, except this time we have Sekihan on the vocals instead of Vocaloids. I feel this album really focuses on Utsu's funky side rather than a headbangy style as seen in the previous Sekihan album. An excellent successor to Psychodrama; Sekihan's improved vocals in Idolatry along with Utsu's latest sound (from Algorithm) blends so well together. As always with UtsuP albums nowadays, there is a bonus track.

Isaiah 42:8 I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images. The Catholic Mary is not Jesus mother !! she is Semiramis, the Babylonian Queen of Heaven . The Roman Catholic church is the whore of Revelation 17. GET OUT OF HER MY PEOPLE !! Revelation 17:5 "And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH." To all my catholic brothers and sisters, I ask you in Jesus name to leave the evil Roman Catholic Church. stop worshiping Mary ( Semiramis ), Nimrod, and the Pope. just come to Jesus Christ !! he is the only way to God the father. John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
born to serve i cannot see
life of pain trying to execute me
tribulation persecution of the weak
souls are lost just to satisfy the hunger
immortal blood of those upon my hands
seeking refuge the promised holy land
eternity is the price worth the cost
servant slays the master
life is of no value
i worship what i hold close to hear
master, please don't betray me
i pray your words will find their place in me
there i was among the dead
the point was clear as the blood was running red
for an isntant i was alone
a thousand years time refuses to unfold
i worshipped one like myself to put the blood to the test
see me, free me, save me, please take me
i gave you life; you choose to die
but now you're free, forsaken me
idolatry, idolatry
can't you see its killing me the pain inside
from my feelings i can't hide
i chose my fate now it's too late life is gone
hellish memories linger on
i walk alone into the dark
bleeding heart now toen apart
sacrifice the dying one
hell is here nowhere to run
hypnotize and mesmerize
eyes of fire seen in disguise
father grant me my last desire
release my soul from the fire
life is of no value
i worship what i hold close to hear
master, please don't betray me
i pray your words will find their place in me
there i was among the dead
the point was clear as the blood was running red
for an isntant i was alone
a thousand years time refuses to unfold
i worshipped one like myself to put the blood to the test
see me, free me, save me, please take me
i gave you life; you choose to die
but now you're free, forsaken me
