[Today: Deuteronomy 13]: Who is Your Mother and Your Brethren? In this chapter, God calls on the people to be accountable for outbreaks of idolatry in their midst. If their leaders led others into idolatry, they were to be executed. If loved ones and family members fell into idolatry, they were to be stoned. If cities became idolatrous, they were to be put to the sword. There is no record that the people of God ever carried out these terrible judgments, but the message against idolatry and against comprise is very clear. God is a jealous God even over our lives today.
