Usage

The term "eidólolatrés" refers to a person who worships idols, which are physical representations or images that are revered as gods. In the New Testament, this term is used to describe individuals who engage in the worship of false gods, often in contrast to the worship of the one true God. The practice of idolatry is consistently condemned in Scripture as it leads people away from the truth and into spiritual adultery.
