Flee From Idolatry
“Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry.”

Who are “them” in 1 Corinthians 10:5-6?
Why does the Apostle Paul rehearse this Ancient History of The Hebrews, in Exodus from Egypt, marching in their order as The Twelve Tribes of Israel, Jacob’s Heirs? (Verse 6). “These things were our examples.” Many American pulpits have told us those “Jews” in the wilderness were under the Old Covenant! We are under the New Covenant. We are under Grace!
Did Noah find “grace in the eyes of the LORD”? Is every lust, “lust after evil things”? Or are there lawful lusts as well as unlawful lusts? What about the lawful lust of a husband for his wife? If he loses that, she will doubt and then be suspicious! Is Paul’s topic unlawful lusts or “lust after evil things”?
Of what does Verse 7 remind us in this season of the year?
