Idolatry: Ancient and Modern

Philip Strong
09/05/21 - Sunday Morning Worship

**Please note:  Apparently I had "brain cramp" during this lesson and inadvertantly said something untrue relative to one of the examples I used.  The chemical insecticide DDT was once used (in powder form) to delouse children and adults.  It was not used as a defoliant in Vietnam ("Agent Orange" was a mixture of 2-4-5-T and 2-4-D, not D-D-T as I stated).  I knew better, but just got my chemicals confused, and realized the mistake as soon as I sat down after completing the lesson.  I apologize for any confusion.  However, the illustration is still valid since "accepted science" and "the government" of the day approved the application of this chemical as a farm and household chemcial that we now know to be very dangerous (DDT is banned in most countries).  Again, apologies for misspeaking, Philip C. Strong.
