We are forbidden to worshiping them, for God claims to be a jealous God, who punishes sinners and their descendents to the third and fourth generation, but bestows love upon those who love him and thousands of their generations.
While still on Mt. Sinai, God saw the Israelites worshipping a golden calf. This angered the Lord and, with his fury/jealousy, he threatened to destroy them. For they were...
