 Calvin says we are now an idol factory. Can a Christian make idols if he has not made one out of wood and stone? You love something so much that it is like something ordinary. Hence, a person can imagine something that makes them think, feels and acts like a machine. This is idolatry, deliberately putting something before God so that desires are not centered on Christ. Just because you keep, only religious activities doesn't mean your heart will change. Become a pagan idol. The Old Testament remains, physical things were part of the worship. The problems were not related to manipulating the things necessary to worship God. The problem was that instead of God they worshiped physical things.  

Then God declared that he was sick of gifts.Things were necessary to worship God. There was a stink in his nose. Idols in their private worship and accompanied their sins? God knows their hearts. Only the faithful remnant voluntarily sought God in the sense that idols were imaginary, not love for other gods and not for necessary things.When David danced on his Ephod in the middle of Israel and properly brought the ark back to Jerusalem, it was acceptable worship because God sincerely values ​​a loyal heart rushing to him; David's noble heart will be undivided. When dancing happily before the Lord. And again in the Psalms something appropriate was recited from memory: I hate pagan idols, even those who worship idols. It is the center of angry expression. Idol worshipers simply perpetuate all kinds of violent political evils in a corrupt society. Consequently, this is of terrible concern to any interested church or secular society because it persistently determines the degeneracy of political relations.
