“Evangelical Christians view scripture as strictly forbidding idolatry, defining it as anything that takes the place of God—including money, power, pleasure, or relationships. Rooted in the Ten Commandments, it is viewed as a severe sin, a "heart issue" that misrepresents God and destroys humanity, requiring believers to "flee" from it.”
“Jewish scripture (Tanakh) and tradition consider idolatry (avodah zarah) the most serious sin, prohibited as the ultimate betrayal of God and a violation of the foundational Covenant. It is strictly forbidden to worship any image, natural element, or intermediary, with scriptures demanding the destruction of idols and forbidding any benefit from them. “
