In this teaching, we take an academic and theological examination of dendrolatry—the worship of trees, the veneration of trees, or the treatment of trees as sacred—and its place within the broader context of Scripture and history. This presentation will explore how ancient cultures practiced dendrolatry, how the prophets spoke against it, and how remnants of these practices can still be observed in modern traditions.

This video delves into the historical and cultural veneration of trees, tracing its roots from ancient pagan practices to its manifestations in various spiritual traditions. This teaching invites viewers to consider the spiritual consequences of syncretism and to pursue a deeper understanding of purity in worship according to the Word.Continue Reading

In this second teaching in the Ten Commandments Series by God Honest Truth, we conduct an examination of the Second Commandment, focusing on the theological, historical, and linguistic implications of the biblical prohibition against graven images and idolatry.

This lesson will explore the Hebrew terms pesel (פֶּסֶל) and temunah (תְּמוּנָה) and their meanings, nuances, and contextual usage in the Hebrew Bible. We will examine the distinction between the First and Second Commandments, and why the Second is not merely a reiteration, but a deepening of the covenantal boundary regarding the worship of Yahweh. You will learn modern equivalents of idolatry and how contemporary believers may unintentionally violate this command through conceptual or representational distortions of the divine.

This is not merely a prohibition against sculpture—it is a mandate that God must be worshiped as He truly is, not as He is imagined to be. Join us for a biblically grounded, historically informed, and theologically rich study designed to deepen your understanding of divine worship and the spiritual significance of this often misunderstood commandment.

So join us as we learn the God Honest Truth about the second of the ten commandments. And don’t forget to subscribe to follow the full Ten Commandments series and be equipped to walk in deeper obedience to God’s revealed Word.
