Paul Achtemeier speaks about idolatry: “…the human predicament in Paul’s view results from idolatry, from rejecting the lordship of The Creator, and from putting in its place the lordship of some creature. Whether idolatry be subjection to an idol shaped in the likeness of some creature or subjection to some ideology shaped by the mind of some creature, the result is the same. Through such an abuse of creation, we become something other than we were intended to be.” — From Interpretation of Romans, pg. 43
