Show from scripture where God said to transform a pagan thing and use it to serve Him. Use specific book, chapter and verse please.
St. Paul, inspired by the Holy Spirit, wrote this to the Romans about their formerly pagan minds:
Do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that you may prove what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect. Romans 12:2Now, CynicalBear, you show a text where God said NOT to transform a pagan thing and use it to serve him. Use specific book, chapter and verse please.
(By the way, CynicalBear, do you really believe that God did not tell people to use "writing" to "write things" that were later included in the Bible, even though "writing" was first used by pagans?)
