Why should the people created idols for worshiping but they forget the real creator? Is it correct?

Question

In general, if we create our creator means logically we are wrong. Why should we create our creator. God said you are the temple of God. Hence, it is everyone's duty to maintain their own body in good tune. We are spoiling our body & mind. SOmetimes, we committed suicides. It is clearly known that you are not having any right to kill or spoil your own body. It is gift of God. Let Him shape your body.

Answer 1

The real creator doesnt have any form.

So to imagine such formless divinity hindus create idols.

They are not creating the creators (its impossible), but just creating a representation of them.

God is not only inside body, but also everywhere, but its easiest to find god within ourself.

Answer 2

god is every where and he is seated in your heart also. we will have to recognize him. the saints has given pranaprathishta to the idol and advised us to do prayers as a ist step of pooja as we go to school starting from kinder garden to higher studies. but were struck at the base level forgetting the way and to fix our goal or the destination of the soul.  

Answer 3

Wonderful. You are teaching the Original Kingdom Gospel that Jesus actually preached. Read the Prodigal Son story. The Father was always the Father and the son was always the son. More on my bio.

And Genesis says that we are made in the image and likeness of God. So you are right on target. Excellent thinking.

Answer 4

Psalms

15 The idols of the nations are silver and gold,

       made by the hands of men.

16 They have mouths, but cannot speak,

       eyes, but they cannot see;

17 they have ears, but cannot hear,

       nor is there breath in their mouths.

18 Those who make them will be like them,

       and so will all who trust in them.

NIV

Answer 5

The body is decaying everyday

But be more concerned of the things of God

For the spirit is eternal.

If you lead one person to Jesus it is better than

doing a lifetime of exercise

Did you know if you try to be perfect and believe you are that is idol worship

You are worshiping what God made

Not worshiping God Himself

Matthew 6:25

Therefore I say unto you, be not anxious for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than the food, and the body than the raiment?

Matthew 5:29

And if thy right eye causeth thee to stumble, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not thy whole body be cast into h**l.

Answer 6

Idol worship, which is very common amongst the Hindus, is prohibited in Hinduism. It is mentioned in Bhagavad Gita Chapter 7 verse 20:

“Those whose intelligence has been stolen by material desires they worship demigods i.e. idols.(Bhagavad Gita 7:20)



It is mentioned in Svetashvatara Upanishad chapter 4 verse 19 As well as in:

“There is no image of Him”

(Svetashvatara Upanishad 4:19)



It is mentioned in Yajurved Chapter 32 Verse 3

“There is no image of Him”

(Yajurved 32:3)



It is also mentioned in

Yajurveda Chapter 40 verse 9

“They enter darkness those who worship natural things (for e.g. air, water, fire, etc.). They sink deeper in darkness those who worship sambhuti i.e. created things (for e.g. table, chair, car, idol etc.)

(Yajurved 40:9)

THERE ARE MANY MORE REFERENCES IN HINDU HOLY BOOKS THAT PROHIBITS IDOL WORSHIP ( JUST LIKE IN ISLAM )

THE SOONER ALL HINDUS REALISE IT THE BETTER !!!
