1 Korintos 12:2 You know that you were Ger Toshav, carried away to these dumb idols, however you were led.
1Th 1:9 For they themselves declare concerning us what manner of entry we had to you, and how you turned to G_D from idols to serve the living and true G_D,
Ger Toshav stay away from defilement of Idols
Act 15:19 “Therefore I judge that we should not trouble those from among the Ger Toshav who are turning to G_D, Act 15:20 but that we write to them to abstain from the defilement of idols, and from whoring, and from what is strangled, and from blood.
Act 21:25 But concerning the Ger Toshav who believe, we have written and decided that they should observe no such thing, except that they should keep themselves from things offered to idols, from blood, from things strangled, and from sexual immorality."
Act 15:29 that you abstain from things offered to idols, from blood, from things strangled, and from sexual immorality. If you keep yourselves from these, you will do well. Farewell.
In the Torah we are told to keep away from idolatry
Devarim 18:9 “When you come into the land which ADONAI your G_D is giving you, do not learn to do according to the abominations of those gentiles.
Devarim 18:10 “Let no one be found among you who makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire, or one who practises divination, or a user of magic, or one who interprets omens or a sorcerer,
Devarim 18:11 or one who conjures spells, or a medium, or a spiritist, or one who calls up the dead.
Devarim 18:12 “For whoever does these are an abomination to ADONAI, and because of these abominations ADONAI your G_D drives them out from before you.
Devarim 18:13 “Be perfect before ADONAI your G_D,
Devarim 18:14 for these nations whom you are possessing do listen to those using magic and to diviners. But as for you, ADONAI your G_D has not appointed such for you.
Objective in mind to do good
3 Yochanan 1:11 Beloved ones, do not imitate the evil, but the good. The one who is doing good is of G_D, but he who is doing evil has not seen G_D.
Kolossai 3:5 Therefore put to death your members which are on the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry.
Flee from Idol has nothing to do with it
1 Korintos 10:14 Therefore, my beloved ones, flee from idolatry.
Galates 5:19 Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness,
Galates 5:20 idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, Galates 5:21 envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of G_D.
We are told not fear them
In Yochanan Alef (1 John) chapter 4 verse 4 , you are from G_D and have overcome them (conquer dead n evil ones, witchcraft, demons), for He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.
We are told not be like ghost buster, play around with demonic or fight against them.
Ephesios 6:12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.
Finally----
1Yochanan 5:21 Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.
