To Define God As Other Than A Set Of Rules, Is Idol Worship.

[Greatest I am 0]

To define God as other than a set of rules, is idol worship.Regardless of your religion, Christian, Muslim or any other religion, have you ever wondered why people began personifying God?Why did we start giving Him a name when the Bible begins by telling us that He is the word. Word meaning rules.The reason to me seems clear.Our first God was a man.Who but man can give voice to the will/rules of God?There is only man.The word God should then never be personified. When we do, it becomes idol worship.God should be considered a title only. Somewhat like king or law.Regardless of your religion or lack of it, to tie yourself to any Word is also idol worship.We all label ourselves according to the set of rules we follow be they Christian, Muslim, Democrat or Green.Our political Gods = rules.Our religious Gods = rules.Our natural Gods = rules.Seek God yes. When you find Him, raise the bar of excellence for both Him and man.Whoever you are, you live by one or two or three of those sets of rules mentioned. More than likely, a combination of all of them.In this, none of us have any choice.My question is aimed primarily at literalist and fundamentals who believe that their WORD is the WORD of a personified God. In other words, to my mind, idol worshipers. Do you agree and see that to lock yourself to any WORD, including a personified religious God, is idol worship?Am I wrong in saying that our first God was a man and that our last God should be a man as well?RegardsDLP. S. For a bit of Biblical history and insight.
