Bible Question: Is it sinful for Christian to visit temples of other religion whilst on a conducted tour? |
Bible Answer: Hi, Robert... If it were sinful to visit a particular location because of the sin associated with that location, we wouldn't be visiting anywhere. Not even our own homes! :-) I admit to the same kind of discomfort that brought about your question. Nonetheless, I would answer no, that you needn't worry. Not only will the visitations to these locations be intellectually stimulating, and it will be an opportunity to pray for the people associated with the temples. It is a good reminder of these peoples who are lost. As you visit these places, pray for those you see going about their activities in the temples; pray for the other people in the tour; pray for the people behind the scenes that you do not see; and pray for the many deceived adherents to the religion. Also, if you get a chance, let us know what thoughts occur to you as you have this experience. As believers, we filter all that we do, see, feel, and experience through the Scriptures. In Him, Doc |
