"Let us go and worship other gods"
(gods that neither you nor your ancestors have known, gods of the peoples around you, whether near or far,
from one end of the land to the other), do not yield to them or listen to them.
Show them no pity. Do not spare them or shield them. You must certainly put them to death.
Your hand must be the first in putting them to death,
and then the hands of all the people. (Deuteronomy 13:6-9)

bowing down to them or to the sun or the moon or the stars in the sky,
and this has been brought to your attention, then you must investigate it thoroughly.
If it is true and it has been proved that this detestable thing has been done in Israel,
take the man or woman who has done this evil deed to your city gate and stone that person to death.

who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh,
