test everything by Scripture, but don't go looking in evil things, or forbidden things - like idols. since idolatry is forbidden, strictly forbidden, it is sinful to test various idols to see if they are sinful also - they all are already declared forbidden by yahweh
as you search /seek for yahweh the creator and his life, let him deal with all the sin and obstacles that hinder life. let him deal with everything his way, in his time, according to HIS WORD (always by HIS WORD)..
