GOLDEN CALF

THE VIOLATION OF THE FIRST COMMAND

This is indeed a violation of the very first commandment that 'thou shalt have no other gods before me'. When God is everywhere and God is in everything, if you do not see God in everything, then you are worshiping a false God. If you see God up in Heaven and deny his presence within you, you are worshiping an idol, and you are dancing around the golden calf.
