Avoiding Idolatry and Adultery

 Avoiding Idolatry and Adultery

Positive Christianity Series Episode #321


GOD Almighty instructs us to avoid the practice idol worship and adultery that wants to lead to the road of perdition for the wicked. Instead of practicing foolishness, we decide to love GOD Almighy above everything. Moses and the righteous persevered in the wilderness despite there being 5 hostile nations. Moses and Israel persevered in the wilderness despite opposition and adversity. When Moab had seen that Moses and Israel had defeated the world power at that time, Egypt, and 4 additional hostile nations including the Amorites, Moab feared Moses and Israel. The Moabites could not defeat the Amorites, yet Moses and Israel had defeated the Amorites. Moab went to Balaam to tempt him with a room full of perishable, quantifiable, and temporary gold and silver to go against Moses and Israel. Balaam practiced wickedness and suggested to Balaak that Moses and Israel be tempted with idol worship and adultery, decided to choose temporary gold and silver over the worship of GOD Almighty, declined, and was destroyed by Moses and Israel.

"And they also killed Balaam the son of Beor with the sword."- Numbers 31: 8

Moses and the righteous decided to obey GOD Almighty and defeated Balaam, Balaak, and Moab by deciding to avoid idol worship and adultery. Moses and most of the men were married and did not partake in idolatry and adultery. The individuals that were not married knew that GOD Almighty had made greater signs and wonders in Egypt and had delivered them from Pharaoh. Moses and the righteous and faithful of Israel acknowledged that idol worship could not do the signs and wonders of GOD Almighty. Moses and the faithful knew that GOD Almighty was allowing them to persevere and thrive with everything that they needed in the wilderness to persist worshiping GOD Almighty. Few individuals out of the majority decided to believe the lying temptations and practiced idol worship and adultery with the temptresses of Moab and were destroyed by the plague. Balaam was also destroyed. Moab was defeated also. The idolatrous and adultress temptresses were also destroyed. Meanwhile, Moses and the righteous faithful of Israel persevered through everything. 

"While Israel lived in Shittim, the people began to whore with the daughters of Moab. These invited the people to the sacrifices of their gods, and the people ate and bowed down to their gods. So Israel yoked himself to the Baal of Peor. And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel."- Numbers 25: 1-3

"Thus the plague on the people was stopped. Nevertheless, those who died by the plague were twenty-four thousand."- Numbers 25: 9

GOD Almighty destroyed the wicked idolators who practiced idol worship and adultery with the women of Moab. The plague destroyed 24,000 wicked idolators while the majority of Israel and Moses survived. Israel increased to more than 500,000 people in the wilderness. 

King Jesus Christ tells us in Revelation 2: 14-16 that idolatry and adultery are not allowed. We can avoid false doctrines that want to lead to idol worship and adultery similar to how Balaam wanted to tempt Moses and Israel. We can persevere without practicing idol worship and adultery similar to Joseph who denied temptation. We can persevere without practicing idol worship and adultery similar to Paul. We can persevere without practicing idol worship and adultery similar to Moses, Joshua, and the 500,000 righteous faithful who made it to the land of Canaan that became the land of Israel. We can persevere loving GOD Almighty above everything and respecting humanity. We can deny lying temptations that do not help anyone.

"For all the gods of the peoples are worthless idols, but the LORD made the Heavens."- Psalm 96: 5

"The face of the LORD is against those who do evil, to cut off the memory of them from the earth."- Psalm 34: 16

Learning Hebrew

Shabbathשבע, means Saturday and also rest. We learn that GOD Almighty instructs us to rest on Saturdays. We learn that Saturday is created for resting similar to how GOD Almighty rested on Saturday. GOD Almighty tells us to rest on Saturday and not Sunday. Shabbath rest allows us to have serenity, worship GOD Almighty, and also regenerate ourselves. We learn that there are health benefits to Shabbath rest. We learn that in Shabbath we have serenity and also rest. We can be industrious throughout the week preaching and choose to rest on Shabbath. The snake says to rest some other day preferably Sunday. We learn that we obey GOD Almighty and not idol worship. GOD Almighty helps us persevere to Shabbath Millennium that is described in Isaiah 2: 1-5 being times of peace and serenity where there is no longer warfare, envy, strife, gangstalking, resentments, deserts, diseases, and idol worship. Idol worship is the source of all the problems in the world and stems from the snake
