Idolatry = Sin
Pagan = Not Always sin

Pagan and Heathen originally meant “from the earth”, or “from the country” as opposed to city dwellers who knew more about religion.

Pagan things are things from the earth, but that doesn’t mean that everything from the earth is a sin. Its only a sin if you use it to disobey God.

Going to work on a Thursday = Not a sin, the day is the Lord’s even if its named after a pagan god
Obeying Thor = Sin

Getting a sun tan = Not a sin even though the sun is pagan
Worshipping the Sun = Sin

Enjoying nature = Not a sin, even though nature is pagan (earthly)
Putting nature above people = sin

Observing a constellation = not a sin, even though stars are pagan (earthly)
Getting life wisdom from stars while ignoring God = sin

There’s nothing wrong with any pagan feast unless it’s being offered up for idolatry.

PAGAN DOESN’T ALWAYS MEAN IDOLATRY.

1 Corinthians 10:27-28
[27]If any of them that BELIEVE NOT bid you to a feast, and ye be disposed to go; WHATSOEVER IS SET BEFORE YOU, EAT, asking no question for conscience sake.
[28]But if any man say unto you, This is offered in SACRIFICE UNTO IDOLS, EAT NOT for his sake that shewed it, and for conscience sake: FOR THE EARTH IS THE LORD’S, and the fulness thereof:

THE EARTH AND THE THINGS FROM THE EARTH ARE THE LORDS!

Any questions?
