But even if He does not, let if be known to you, O king, that we are not going to serve your gods or worship the golden image that you have set up."You often hear people talk about where the line is, that point that cannot be crossed, the compromise that cannot be made without sin. Where people draw that line is all over the map, and they tend to look with derision upon those who draw it elsewhere.
However, this is a point that most agree cannot be crossed, to worship false gods. However, we probably do so a lot more than we like to admit, just by calling it something other than an idol or god. However, our directive is clear: even if it costs us our lives, we are not to cross that line and still call ourselves believers.
