Message: <blockquote data-quote="nova1" data-source="post: 366436" data-attributes="member: 5484">I think the same argument about whether to hold joss sticks(burning incense) applies to the question of whether Christians can partake offerings to other gods made by non-believers/other faiths. There is no absolute ban but it is dscouraged because the intention is to avoid non-believers having the wrong idea that Christian faith allows it.In fact, the old testament days(before Jesus) saw sacrifices and worships to the Almighty God(Christian God) in the form of burnt offerings of goats and oxen and burning of incense as a fragance to please God in heaven as a practice of worshipping. This is the same in the Quoran of the Islamic faith as for example, Hari Raya Haji which is celebrated worldwide by all Moslems and on which occasion goats or oxen are slaughtered as an act of sacrifice to Allah , as I read, to retrace the footsteps of prophet Ibrahim(Abraham) who was tested by God to gauge Ibrahim's obedience to God by asking Ibrahim to sacrifice his one and only son to the Almighty but before Ibrahim could plunge the knife in his own son's body, the Almighty stopped him because Ibrahim passed the test of obedience and God instead accepted sacrifice of goats/oxen in place of his son.The New Testament forgoes the practice of burnt offerings and burning of incense to worship God through the teachings of Jesus Christ by tithing, praying, and worshipping with songs, dances and music.Thus the act of burning of joss sticks(incense) and eating of offerings are once the practice of Christians but no more now and are discouraged in case others misunderstand the intention. It is avoided for man/woman's sake, not for God's sake because He looks at your heart, not your outward. So, don't worry about whether God will be angry if your heart is not to use joss sticks to worship other gods or spirits but as a mark of respect to the families of the deceased and to calm and comfort the surviving members.By the way, if you want to pray, do pray for the living, and not the deceased because only the living needs prayer, not the dead. So, don't mistake about it. The deceased is done in this world and his/her spirit is back to God awaiting judgement. No amount of prayer for the deceased would change the judgement of God for God only makes judgement based on man's/woman's living days in this world.</blockquote>
