AC 10639, 10640 - molten gods

AC 10639
. . . "though shalt not make for thee molten gods,"
signifies the worship of self and not of the Lord.

AC 10640 [2]
The person who wishes to be enlightened by the Lord
must take especial care
not to appropriate to himself any teaching
that supports what is evil.
A person appropriates it to himself
when he confirms it with himself,
for he thereby makes it of his faith,
and still more so if he lives according to it.
When this is done,
the evil remains inscribed on his soul and on his heart.
And when this has been done,
he cannot possibly be afterward enlightened
by the Word from the Lord,
for his whole mind is in the faith and in the love of his principle,
and whatever is contrary to it,
he either does not see,
or else rejects, or falsifies.
