Hey if you wish to adhere to the Doctrines of men fine, do as the Heathen do and ignore God’s warning. Also, I linked to article by David Pack, so I’ll just assume you didn’t read it. Here’s a link to the KJV of Jeremiah 10, it is pretty simple to read and understand what God is warning against.

Ahem...
In kind, for the moment I will assume you are basing your reply out of ignorance as opposed to intent to outright obfuscate. I will assume you are ignorant of the teachings espoused by the author and his 'church'. On what web site was it posted and what do the backers of that website espouse?
For your edification, this was posted on the Real Truth website from the Restored Church of God. You may remember The Plain Truth as the magazine mouthpiece of Herbert W. Armstrong and his 'Worldwide Church of God. Your linked website is from one of about three splinter groups that formed when WWCOG became unstable following their Messiah Armstrong's death. The quote in the previous post (that says among other things that HWA's 'church' the WWGOG is the only true church..) is from their 'about us' page.
I also note that you did not respond as to whether you thought that MSNBC properly used the Jeremiah verse taking into account a proper exegesis . In other words, did they interpret it properly, or did they, as many have done, stripped the verse out of its supporting context and then read their bias INTO the verse?
Also, I again rejoin that I did not know that Baptists of any stripe embraced the teachings of the man Herbert W. Armstrong. Either your Baptist church is extremely strange, or you are misrepresenting your affiliations.
The fact that you link to an RCOG/WWCOG website says much..
Maybe your mileage varies.
