AC 1357 - Three Universal Kinds of Idoltatry

 AC 1357

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 for its end.
The worship of idolaters can have no other ends;
for they know not and care not for eternal life;
they even deny it.
These three kinds of idolatry
are meant by the three sons of Terah.
