Deuteronomy 11-13
God understands our weaknesses better than we do. He emphasizes over and over that the Israelites are are to avoid even the appearance of following other gods. The one thing that God will absolutely not tolerate is our following or worshipping any other god. I really don't think He has ever, or will ever, feel any different about this crucial aspect of His peoples walk in the Lord. This is just as relevant for us today as it was to the ancients. We should stay as far away from any religion that doesn't have the LORD God as their god as we possibly can. There are even seemingly innocent practices that can lead us down the wrong path. For instance, Ouija boards, horoscopes, Yoga, and martial arts all have their foundations in religions that worship other gods. When we tamper with these things we are getting dangerously close to dishonoring God.
