The "Avoiding Paganism" Trap
from Lo-fi Faith · host Mike Dawson and James Mello
Mike and James take a look at the “avoid anything pagan” impulse in some Christian circles. They examine why this approach quickly becomes inconsistent, burdensome, and divisive, and how it shifts focus away from what genuinely deserves attention. They also consider Paul’s teaching in 1 Corinthians 8, which challenges the idea that a thing’s origins automatically determine its moral value.
