БОГИ ЛОЖНЫЕ

Far from God, the Source of life, there is death. People turn to false gods and think to get help and salvation from them, but since they are not gods, but dead idols, they cannot do anything to people: There is only God who saves, and there is no other. This God can only speak the truth; lying is disgusting to Him. Whatever He says will certainly happen; no word of His returns to Him empty (2). We only call the Lord God, but in reality we have our own gods, because we do not do the will of God, but the will of our flesh and thoughts, the will of our hearts, our passions; our gods are our flesh, sweets, clothes, money, etc. (6). When Christians come to church to pray to God, it turns out that they have not one, but many gods, many idols (and thus sin against the first and second commandments): one or another is an idol of self-love; Where anyone's treasure is, there is his heart (see Matt. 6:21) (6).
