Sin Of Idolatry

Why does the Bible consistently condemn idolatry?

Idolatry is realized in many ways. But ultimately, the Bible is obviouos as to God's hatred of idolatry. But Why?

Idolatry reduces God to a deity that can be manipulated. Idolatry often arises out of conformity to our environment. The sin of idolatry is an attempt to make God in our image. But ultimately, idolatry is an attitude of rejection of God and His Word.

Idolatry... (to worship or to invest one's self in it's own self interest) is hated by God because of what it does to humanity. It leaves men condemned in thier sin. It is God's will that we know Him and the salvation that His Son Jesus Christ has provied through His shed blood. To reject the Lord Jesus Christ is to remain in a perpetual state of idolatry. It is not worth it when you compare the joy of knowing the Lord Jesus Christ and the forgiveness of sin.
