Should Jesus be idolized and is that breaking the first commandment?
We idolize ideals. Yahweh commanded that no other name be put above his, as man’s ideal for a God. Jesus himself defers to Yahweh; till dogma puts him in the judgement seat, yet many Christians ignore Yahweh and have turned Jesus into the main idol of Christianity. They point to a new covenant that cannot exist as God never changes his mind, according to dogma.
Christians and all who worship Jesus, it appears to me, are breaking the first commandment as they are idolizing Jesus. Yahweh will not be pleased with this.
Is this thesis accurate and are many Christians breaking the first commandment?
I know that some Christians will throw the Trinity concept into this but please do not as I will not argue against that ridiculous concept.
Whose name do you put as your ideal, Jesus or Yahweh?
Here are hints to their perspective characters.
