AC 1357-1358
There are three universal kinds of idolatry.
The first comes of the love of self;
the second, of the love of the world;
the third, of the love of pleasures.
All idolatrous worship has one or other of these of its end.
The worship of idolaters can have no other end;
for they know not and care not for eternal life;
they even deny it.
These three kinds of idolatry
are signified by the three sons of Terah.
That Abram, Nahor, and Haran were persons,
from whom also nations were named that were idolaters,
is evident from the historical parts of the Word.
