Amen. "His purpose was to create in himself one new man out of the two, thus making peace,"

He didn't do this by making everyone conform to the same customs, but rather, through reconciling them both to God through the cross.

[Karen Setters]

Paganism is not dance, regalia or customs. it is worshipping and communicating with demon gods. The old things that have passed away when we become born again are our sins, going to hell, and bondage to our selfish old nature and the world led by the evil one. It does not mean heritage, or clothing styles, nor music styles, or traditions pass away. My goodness. God created each culture to be unique, not one-size-fits-all!

@Coach429 it is very difficult for them to understand as they have a totally different culture and they don't have the same way of handling pain...unless you live in a culture it is hard to explain it's ways or to understand them...maby even impossible..and the bible says all the ways of a man seem right to him in his own eyes...so each person assumes they are on the right side of the issue!!!

Why does America think it is "God's country"? Was it "God's Will" for them to expand from coast to coast? - I don't think so. Rather it seems to be a classic case of "Man's Will". I don't see America (then or now) as a "Christian country". It is just a  place like any other with good and bad in it.
