Throughout most of the history of the Northern Kingdom of Israel, you will read about "the sin of Jeroboam." The sin that is referred to is the appointment of anyone who wanted to be a priest, creating high places to worship gods on, and the making of the two calf idols in Dan and Bethel representing the LORD. Jeroboam created a man-made religion that was idol worshiping polytheism. Yes, the LORD was worshiped, but as one of many gods that the people paid homage to.
Our Lord, Yahweh, is a jealous God and desires to share worship with no other god of man's making. In addition, Yahweh is who He says He is, not who man says He is. He must be believed.
