Deuteronomy 12:1-14
The decrees and laws you must be careful to follow in the land your God has given you to posses: destroy completely all the places on the high mountains and on the hills and under every spreading tree where the nations you are dispossessing worship their gods. Break down their altars, smash their sacred stones and burn their Asherah poles in the fire; cut down the idols of their gods and wipe out their names from those places.
The place the Lord your God choose as a dwelling for his Name- there you are to bring everything I command you: your burnt offerings and sacrifices, your tithes and special gifts , and all the choice possessions you has vowed to the Lord. And there rejoice before the Lord your God, you and your family, servants and the Levites from your towns.
You are not to do as we do here today, everyone as he sees fit.
Why?
The place of Worship is chose as a dwelling for his Name. Don't do it as everyone o as he sees fit today.
The righteousness is belong to the Lord, no one is righteousness in the world. Authority of judge is belong to the Lord.
Destroy completely all the places where nations worship their gods, including the idols,building, symbols and the names. All these could be let their heir interested in it and leading them sin.
When the nation is settled God will select one specific place for the sacrifices. Shiloh was the nation's first religious center, under Eli and Samuel.
How?
Dear Lord, please purify my heart and check is there I see it fit inside my mind. If it does please remove it from me and transform my heart more like Jesus.
I won't judge anyone in this world anymore since today. Please give me the strength to do it
