PAGAN RELIGIONS GO TO PHYSICAL PLACES TO ENCOUNTER GOD
Many times God warned his people not to follow the customs of religious nations. One common feature of all pagan religions is the temple where idols were set up for people to come and worship. Despite these clear warnings, Jews and Christians insist on designing physical structures for worship.

STUDY TIP: See Egypt, Babylon and Canaan for understanding of ancient pagan religious practices. Also see Tabernacles, Temples, Altars, High Places and Pilgrimages.

The lesson here for Jews, Christians and Muslims is that their affections for religious places is the same as the affections that pagan religions had for all of their temples and high places.
