Final answer:
In the context of religious teachings, particularly those from the Exodus passages, one is instructed not to create or worship idols. These commands are part of the Ten Commandments and are crucial aspects of Jewish and Christian traditions.
Step-by-step explanation:
If a relative urges you to idolatry, you must consider the guidance from various religious and historical texts that address the subject of worship and idols. The Exodus passages you've referenced (Exodus 20:4–5, NRSV and Exodus 20:5-6) are clear in the Jewish and Christian traditions: you shall not make or worship idols. This is one of the Ten Commandments, a cornerstone in these faiths, stressing the importance of monotheism and forbidding the creation and worship of any physical representation of deities.
One should note the strong admonition against idolatry, which is considered a serious transgression. When Moses encounters the Israelites worshipping the Golden Calf, he breaks the tablets carrying the Commandments in a sign of how gravely this law has been broken. This historical account underscores the severity of idol worship in these traditions.
Within the context of these traditions, it's considered necessary to resist any encouragement to idolatry, even if it comes from a family member. The passages and values from religious texts command a strict adherence to monotheistic worship and a rejection of idolatry. The sentiments in the Bahá'í faith and other philosophical and moral frameworks echo the importance of integrity to one's own principles and the avoidance of false religion.
