Innovation in Religion

This study delves into the religious innovations of Jeroboam as depicted in the biblical passages of Colossians and Kings. It explores how Jeroboam instituted golden calves, altered places and times of worship, and appointed non-Levitical priests, all sourced from human wisdom. The motives behind these changes aimed to maintain followers through convenience, creating an appearance similar to truth. However, these innovations led to progressive degeneration and ultimately destruction. The analysis highlights the importance of adhering to the true plan of salvation.
