What does it mean to "idolize" Jesus the Christ?

Except that you stated that to focus on Jesus too much could be idolization.
Why do we need to set 24hours of focus on him each and every day when we no in our hearts that he is the son of god and that he will save us and that he will be back who are we if we as individuals if we are all just talking about the same person constantly is truly knowing not enough?
These are all sincere questions that i am asking.
Let's say for example if i met you in person and you agreed on the story of Jesus with me and we both knew in our hearts that we were true believers should we spend the rest of our lives talking about him to each other or do you think he would of wanted us to talk about new discoveries in life to talk about one another and to discover new heights together through his all mighty power and guidance?

Look at His followers in the Bible.

Did they?

It is written that either HE is prevalent, or something ELSE surely will be.

What fascinates you besides Jesus Christ?

That is what your first post is about, isn't it?

Yes i completely understand you but remember you are an individual and it is you that is travelling through this life this is YOUR journey not theirs, and NEVER let some else behaviour effect your behaviour for then what is your behaviour truly worth?
Be the change you want to see and maybe others will want to follow your ways instead of there own, and believe me at that age these are not going to be your only social circles although that may be how it feels at the moment, don't worry about others that sin just make sure you don't sin and hope that they will come around eventually maybe even explain to them why they shouldn't be sinning and then if they still don't listen to then you can only hope that they will turn from sin themselves. Stay grounded yourself kid and don't budge for no one, you seem to be on the right tracks so just try to stay on them and try not de rail with everyone else

That's a good point about his followers but remember at that time they were needed they had goals to achieve and messages to spread at the time after his crucifixion in order to spread his word out and to help teach others but lets picture a ideal world for a second where everyone is under the understanding of Jesus Christ fully like me and you are surely we would then all need to find fascinations and adventure together through Christ and by Christ that were actually outside of Christ?
And as for my personal fascinations in the current fallen world that we live in it is in fact to spread Jesus's word to those that do not understand it but with those that do understand it it is to rejoice in harmony with them about the simple enjoyments here on earth given by the all mighty God.

Good night Kazane.

Meditate on and pray about these verses.

Praying.

Let it rain.

"For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal,
but mighty through God
to the pulling down of strong holds,
Casting down imaginations,
and every high thing that exalteth itself
against the knowledge of God,
and bringing into captivity
every thought to the obedience of Christ;"
~II Corinthians 10:4-5

In addition, just a bit from the living God and how He defines Himself. Father may it be so, in Jesus name, amen.

Thanks for sharing that's some very trippy stuff.
I usually have nightmares of fighting in middle eastern countries warning of bombs. Or navigating through crocodile & snake infested waters lol.
I hope these events don't manifest in the future but part of me kinda does at the same time.
I also hope to never end up in this place you described lol. Yeesh.

No it isn't. We have God's Word. Jesus Himself professes to be the TRUTH, the way, and the life.

"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." ~John 14:6

Doesn't He?

LOL! Well if anything, it'll surely give you "food for thought". I just want you to be free of any oppression, deception and chains or trappings and entanglements of any kind.

Wanna see a "theme" song that was once my "own" so to speak?

haha yeah i completely understand what you are saying and i i strongly believe as long as you do what is right by god then you and i both will not end up in those places, and if you want a good dream interpreter at any time please speak to my brother in Christ "Hidden In Him" and also my sister in Christ "Solomons Porch" as they are top quality dream interpreters in my opinion.

Thank you sir, before when I was close with God, this was my dream I wanted to start a bible study at my school the majority of my school is Muslim so I wanted to make a difference, but I began falling into sin and I didn't want to present a false image of Christ so I called of the Bible study
