Definition: "Anathema" means "foolish thing" or "thing that is ungodly." It refers to something that is contrary to God's will, a sin, or a violation of divine law. In biblical terms, it implies a rejection of the Law of Moses, and in the Jewish sense, it can refer to the destruction of idols (a metaphor for sin). The term "anathema" has been used throughout Scripture to indicate that something is contrary to God's will and deserving of judgment.
