Bible Quotes About Pagan Holidays
11 Scripture verses about pagan holidays from the King James Version, with full verse text for study and meditation.
Scripture clearly instructs believers to avoid participating in the customs and religious practices of pagan nations, as seen in Leviticus 18:3 and 20:23, where God commands His people not to follow the ordinances or manners of the surrounding nations. Deuteronomy 12:29-30 warns against being ensnared by adopting the worship methods of these nations, even after they have been removed. Jeremiah 10:1-2 reinforces this by urging Israel not to learn the ways of the heathen or be troubled by their signs. Together, these verses emphasize the importance of maintaining purity in worship by rejecting pagan holidays and their associated practices.
