How are people today doing the same thing Aaron did with the golden calf?
People today repeat Aaron's error by mixing idolatrous beliefs with Christian vocabulary. They use terms like resurrection and being led by the Holy Spirit while meaning something entirely different from biblical definitions, just as Aaron called golden calf worship a feast to the Lord.
Les explains that Aaron mixed the worship of the golden calf with a proclamation that tomorrow was a feast to the Lord, calling idolatry a feast day of Jehovah. Les says people today do the same thing: they use Christian language and terminology while redefining it. For example, an ultra-liberal preacher or theologian can talk about resurrection but mean something totally different from what believers mean. The same is true of much New Testament Christianity terminology. They can use the same words but not the same definitions. They refer to being led by the Holy Spirit, which Les calls almost blasphemy. They use Christian language just as Aaron blended idol worship with God's name.
And when Aaron saw it, he built an altar before it; and Aaron made proclamation, and said, To morrow is a feast to the LORD.
