Usage

The term "eidólolatria" refers to the worship or service of idols, which are physical representations or images that are revered as deities. In the New Testament, it is used to describe the practice of idol worship, which is considered a grave sin and a form of spiritual adultery against the one true God. Idolatry is often associated with pagan practices and is condemned as it leads believers away from the worship of God.
