   I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators: Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world. But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat. For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within? 1 Corinthians 5:9-12 KJV.

1. IDOLATERnoun

   One who pays divine honours to images; one who worships for God that which is not God.

   Etymology: idolatre, French; idololatra, Latin.

   The state of idolaters is two ways miserable: first, in that which they worship they find no succour; and secondly, at his hands, whom they ought to serve, there is no other thing to be looked for but the effects of most just displeasure, the withdrawing of grace, dereliction in this world, and in the world to come confusion. Richard Hooker.

   An astrologer may be no Christian; he may be an idolater or a pagan; but I would hardly think astrology to be compatible with rank atheism. Richard Bentley, Sermons.

Etymology and OriginsRate this definition:0.0 / 0 votes

1. Idolater

   From the Greek eidolon, a figure, and latres, worshipper. The root of this word, eidein, to see, furnishes the key to its true meaning. An idolater is one who worships that which he sees, not on account of its intrinsic worth, but because it is a visible representation, or it may be merely a symbol, of the deity that he is taught to venerate.
