Given the definition of an idol as an image or a false deity, what would you define as an idol? Is it proper to define abstract ideas/goals such as knowledge, education, family, work, and etc. as false gods in of themselves? It seems to me as though to me that we don't worship these things in a biblical sense but rather can help us reveal the true idolatry which is idolatry of self that manifests itself through all of these mediums. Asking for thoughts on this subject. Thanks!
