We are truly concerned for ### and ###, as they are involved in idolatry and have misunderstood the path to salvation and Christian living. Let us address these issues and pray for them.
Firstly, God's word clearly tells us in Exodus 20:3-5 WEB,
You shall have no other gods before me. You shall not make for yourselves an idol, nor any image of anything that is in the heavens above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: you shall not bow yourself down to them, nor serve them, for I, Yahweh your God, am a jealous God.
Idolatry is not of God. It is spiritually harmful. We encourage ### and ### to remove and destroy these idols. God wants us to worship Him alone.
Furthermore, salvation is not found in what we eat or do not eat, but only in believing in Jesus Christ. As it is written in Acts 4:12:
There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!
It is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. Romans 10:9-10 tells us,
because, if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart, one believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
We encourage ### and ### to turn to Jesus Christ for salvation and turn away from false teachings about food and idolatry.
Now, let us pray together for them.
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus. We lift up ### and ### to You, asking that You forgive them for their involvement in idolatry. They were not aware. They have been mislead. Reveal to them the truth of the Gospel and the freedom we have in Christ Jesus and not in food. Open their eyes to see that salvation is found in no one else but Jesus Christ. Send faithful believers into their lives to guide them and teach them Your truth. Give them the courage to turn away from their idols and to put their faith in You alone. In Jesus Christ's name, we pray. Amen.
