Ezekiel 20
The Lord is refusing to be accept supplication or any form of worship from people who choose to also worship idols.
It just occurred to me how lost the Jews are from a religious perspective. It is most easily identifiable by the fact that despite their history of building temples they worship as the site of their ancient temple but do not make any attempt to rebuild a temple. They acknowledge their own ignorance regarding the purpose of temples and hence their ignorance of their own religion. They worship their heritage without understanding it which renders their worship ineffective. If they come to understand their ancient temples enough to seek to build another they will also recognize that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has already come to understand the purpose of temple worship and put that understanding into practice.
