17. Looking to oneself for salvation would be the definition of idolatry, IMHO
Edited on Wed Aug-03-05 10:41 AM by Heaven and Earth
Idolatry meaning "worshiping what is finite, limited, relative, and dependent, versus a God who is absolute." I can't imagine Jesus being a fan of idolatry. Unless perhaps Jesus believed in a God who did not say "I am the Lord thy God, thou shalt have no other Gods before me."

Disclaimer: The above is my opinion. Opinions are also finite, relative, limited, and dependent. I make no absolute claims that others are required to follow, or else I call them bad people. I welcome your argument if you think I am wrong.
