What does the second commandment teach us???
Answer
- The second commandment teaches us to worship God in a proper manner, and to avoid idolatry
Exodus 20:23
23. You shall most certainly not make alongside of me gods of silver, or gods of gold for yourselves.
Deuteronomy 6:13-18
13. You shall fear Yahweh your God; and him shall you serve, and shall swear by his name
14. You shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the peoples who are round about you
15. for Yahweh your God in the midst of you is a jealous God; lest the anger of Yahweh your God be kindled against you, and he destroy you from off the face of the earth.
16. You shall not tempt Yahweh your God, as you tempted him in Massah.
17. You shall diligently keep the commandments of Yahweh your God, and his testimonies, and his statutes, which he has commanded you.
18. You shall do that which is right and good in the sight of Yahweh; that it may be well with you, and that you may go in and possess the good land which Yahweh swore to your fathers
Deuteronomy 12:30-32
30. take heed to yourself that you not be ensnared to follow them, after that they are destroyed from before you; and that you not inquire after their gods, saying, How do these nations serve their gods? even so will I do likewise.
31. You shall not do so to Yahweh your God: for every abomination to Yahweh, which he hates, have they done to their gods; for even their sons and their daughters do they burn in the fire to their gods.
