1 Corinthians 10:21

Flee from Idolatry

20No, but the sacrifices of pagans are offered to demons, not to God. And I do not want you to be participants with demons.21You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons too; you cannot partake in the table of the Lord and the table of demons too.22Are we trying to provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than He?
