 Idolatry
Had I looked upon the sun as it shone, or the moon in the splendor of its progress,
And had my heart been secretly enticed to waft them a kiss with my hand;
This too would be a crime for condemnation, for I should have denied God above. 

Had I put my trust in gold or called fine gold my security;
Or had I rejoiced that my wealth was great, or that my hand had acquired abundance. 

If I have walked in falsehood and my foot has hastened to deceit;
If my steps have turned out of the way, and my heart has followed my eyes, or any stain clings to my hands,

Let God weigh me in the scales of justice; thus will he know my innocence! 
Bible:  Book of Job vs 31 (portions)
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++
Notes:
Job's final protestation of his innocence. 
He never worship the sun of the moon.
He never walked in a lie and follow its teachings

Hi tara: How true. You know there was a time in my life when I knew nothing about God's word and that there was even a Bible. I was Catholic back then. The God we worship was the prist and the super God was the Pope. That was the way that religion had brainwashed people. Praise God that at the age of 28 I went through a personal crisis and God showed me his word and were to find it. I picked up a Bible and that was it. I cannot believe how my prist lied to me. It is evil.

YES YES YES!!!! I've been waiting for someone to say this! And all along it was YOU airsjc!!!
Oh how I pray for the cathlics, that they may taste the Word of God!
PRAISE GOD!!! THE ONE AND ONLY TRUE GOD WHO HAS SHOWN YOU HIS WORD!!!

This is so exciting to me right now!!! You just don't know!
When I was new in the Lord, I wasn't really sitting under teaching that warned of the dangers of wondering around into other churches. I only knew that I felt some much love for God and I wanted to see who else understood my tranformation.

So one night I was visiting at my christain gradma's house for a few days and was listening to her talk to her friend about church and pastors and people and the Lord. At the same time I was mostly wondering if they felt the over-welming presence of God such as I seemed to always feel constantly.

Then suddenly, the Lord spoke to me saying, "Take heed that no man decieve you!" and then in like a second later He repeated the same words.
So the first thing I did after getting over the initial shock, was looked at my grandma and her friend and wondered if they were saying something wrong.
I couldn't really know since I was so new in the Lord and hadn't had much Bible reading yet.
But I stayed silient, and didn't tell them what I had heard. Soon, I fell asleep on the couch.

The next day after waking, one of my relatives arrived whom I had never met.
She was a year or two younger than I. (I was 18 or 19). After talking with her for awhile, I was happy to know that she believed in Jesus Christ.
She told me that she had went to my church before and that she loved my pastors very much because they had prayed for her once and the Lord touched her.
She said that after the service that night, she had a dream of God on a white horse and God had long white hair.
I told her about my dream too (which takes about a half an hour).
I was so happy that I met her and I wanted her to hang around with me and go to church with me.
I asked her if she would come visit my church again. She said that she would if her parents let her go back. I didn't understand. I asked, "Why wouldn't they?"
She said it was because when they pastor prayed for her and made her feel something and made her have that dream that they got scared to let her come back.
Then she told me that they were catholic.

A short time later she had to leave. As we hugged and said how much we enjoyed our talk and we were saying our goodbye's, she said, "Hey, you know what? I went to your church and I loved your pastors! Why don't you come to mine?"
(she had already said that she goes to a catholic church).

I didn't see any harm in that, so I said, "Yeah! O.K. I will!"

Then the Lord suddenly spoke to me very quickly, "Take heed that no man decieve you!"
It scared me like you wouldn't believe! I said to her very quickly, "NO WAIT, I CAN'T!!! The Lord spoke to me just now and said 'take heed that no man decieve you.'"
Then I told her, It's wrong to worship Mary and the saints. And it's wrong to bow down to idols!" (that was all I knew about it). She said, "No, you got it all wrong, we don't do that." I said, "You pray to them and bow down to the statue of Mary and that's like idol worship."

She said, "No, Mother Mary is just someone that young girls like us can look up to as an example to stay a virgin until we marry and to stay pure." Then she said, "She is like our idol for us to look up to."

I said, "See, that's what I just said!" She said, "Oh no, I don't mean that kind of idol..." I tried to convince her to please come to church with me, but she was offende and said, "I can't believe that after I went to your church, you can't come to mine." I said, Please understand that you are being decieved and the Lord warned me not to be decieved by going to church with you." We were both very sad and just walked away.
