In Bible times, the term "pagan" was used to describe people who worshiped false gods instead of Yahweh.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Anything that was associated with these people, such as the altars where they worshiped, the religious rituals they performed, and their beliefs, were also called "pagan."
|
||
|
|
* Pagan belief systems often included the worship of nature or of many gods instead of the one true God, Yahweh.
|
||
|
|
* Some pagan religions included sexually immoral rituals or the killing of human beings as part of their worship.
