Strong's Lexicon eidólolatrés: Idolater Original Word: εἰδωλολάτρης Word Origin: From εἴδωλον (eidolon, meaning "idol") and λατρεύω (latreuo, meaning "to worship" or "to serve") Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H410 (אֵל, 'el): Often used for "god" or "idol" in the context of false gods. - H6456 (פֶּסֶל, pesel): Refers to a carved image or idol. 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. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, idolatry was a prevalent practice, with numerous gods and goddesses being worshiped through statues, temples, and rituals. This cultural context posed a significant challenge for early Christians, who were called to reject these practices and remain faithful to the monotheistic worship of Yahweh. The early church faced pressure both from the surrounding pagan culture and from within, as some believers struggled to fully abandon their former idolatrous ways.
