If we knowingly give audience to people (even certain clergy) or things that our Lord has already pointed out to us as hostile or contrary to Him. Then it is very possible it has turned into idolatry, and we know deep within if it has or not.

Who and what a Christian gives audience to … is a very big deal.

Once a Christian realizes he has entered into idolatry it is critical he change direction and stop. It is wise to loudly dash all our idols to pieces ASAP! Smash them with a sledge hammer and light them on fire (not speaking literally). And let the neighbors watch, then explain what you are doing to them in detail 😅.

This is what Jesus followers do, what and who we give audience to is under the Lord’s direct and strict control, we love him so much that we give him that.

“Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you rather than to God, you must judge…,” Peter and John in Acts 4

So when people you are giving audience to teach or preach or spew logic at you that is contrary to Jesus Christ, react like Peter and John and blow them off then maybe even kindly explain it to them.
