I don’t know if you are right about Jesus, but Paul admonished us to respect the gods of our host while in their homes did he not?

State the scripture wherein Paul ever said we are to “respect the gods of our host” or give deference thereto.

The Old Testament, 1st commandment states: “There shall be no gods before me.” These would include false gods and goddesses and the anti-Christ. Christ also said, “Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets” (Matthew 5:17).

2 Timothy

4:1 I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;

4:2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.

4:3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;

4:4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

4:5 But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.

Christ never said to respect any false gods, at their homes or otherwise. Respecting others is not respecting false gods.
