Idol worship began in the garden of eden..the worship of knowledge...it continues today.
It offends God because we are giving our worship to something that does not deserve it..and not giving it to the one who does. Affront means an insult.

Christians are oftentimes misinformed approximately Wicca and paganism, even in some bibles there's a glossery interior the lower back and extremely some them state that the definition of a pagan is somebody who disembowels animals to divine the destiny. whilst i type right here , this internet site is flagging the be conscious Wiccan as a misspelled be conscious even nonetheless i used capitalization , yet it would not for the be conscious Christianity in spite of if i do no longer capitalize it. the action pictures that surrounds Wicca / Witchcraft and Paganism have additionally made it a so referred to as satanic faith. the main suitable element i think of a Pagan/ Wiccan can do whilst this subject comes up is to describe that the devil is a Christian deity and for this reason devil worshipers are Christian. no longer Pagans/ Wiccans, clarify that there are diverse Gods and Goddess' that are recognized via Wiccans and none of them are even on the fringe of akin to the devil/devil via any skill. there is not any trickster that makes us do evil issues and such like that. Remind them of the story interior the bible of how the devil became into solid out of heaven ect. ect.

God was upset because no one could do a good likeness of him, especially from the 'affront' which was never his best angle. Every one knows he likes to show off his butt (as he took pains to make sure Moses got an eye full), but the idol builders never got the hint.

No culture or religion has ever literally worshipped idols.

You ask what started idol worship. The answer is found in the Scriptures:
Romans 1:16-32 says, "For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. (17) For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith, as it is written, "The just shall live by faith." (18) For the wrath of God is revealed from Heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, (19) because the thing which may be known of God is clearly revealed within them, for God revealed it to them. (20) For the unseen things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being realized by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, for them to be without excuse. (21) Because, knowing God, they did not glorify Him as God, neither were thankful. But they became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. (22) Professing to be wise, they became fools (23) and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man, and birds, and four-footed animals, and creeping things. (24) Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their own bodies between themselves. (25) For they changed the truth of God into a lie, and they worshiped and served the created thing more than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. (26) For this cause, God gave them up to dishonorable affections. For even their women changed the natural use into that which is against nature. (27) And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust toward one another; males with males working out shamefulness, and receiving in themselves the recompense which was fitting for their error. (28) And even as they did not think fit to have God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do the things not right, (29) being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; being full of envy, murder, quarrels, deceit, evil habits, becoming whisperers, (30) backbiters, haters of God, insolent, proud, braggarts, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, (31) undiscerning, perfidious, without natural affection, unforgiving, unmerciful; (32) who, knowing the righteous order of God, that those practicing such things are worthy of death, not only do them, but have pleasure in those practicing them."

for thousands of years before the common era and after people used objects to pay tribute to nature because their lives depended on rain, sun, wind, the changing of the seasons, etc. they didn't understand nature as science has allowed us to learn and so they were superstitious and they did whatever they thought would work to control nature, to please the sun and moon and seas, etc.
