Falsa adoração
Não terás outros deuses diante de mim. Não adorarás ídolos. A adoração exclusiva ao Senhor é mandamento inegociável.
You must not bow down before them or worship them; for I am the Lord your God and I am passionately exclusive. I lay the consequences of the sin of those who hate me on their sons, grandsons, and great-grandsons;
because you must not worship any other gods than the Lord. His name stands for being exclusive, because he is a God who demands an exclusive relationship.

You made the Lord jealous by worshiping foreign gods; you made him angry with such disgusting practices.

So God gave up on them. He left them to their worship of the stars in the sky.

Don’t let anyone cheat you out of your prize by insisting you have to beat yourself, or worship angels. They think they are better than anyone else because of visions they say they’ve had, and become ridiculously conceited in their sinful minds. Such people are not connected to the head that directs the body, nourished and joined together through the body’s sinews and muscles. As the body is united together it grows the way God wants it to grow.
Don’t let anyone deceive you in any way, because the Rebellion must come first, and the lawless man be revealed, the one whose end is destruction. He is the enemy of God, and proudly sets himself up over everything that is called God and is worshiped. He even installs himself in God’s Temple, claiming to be God.
