I specifically like the third one that explains that this prohibition is only if your doing it to do those services and beliefs (either as a different religion, or to merge their practices into your Jewish religious practice), however if your doing it to learn enough to be able to refute then it's permissible. However, it's a dangerous area and you really need to be sure you won't be drawn into it. | |

| Aug 10, 2021 at 23:21 | comment | added | JewishBeginner1 | Thank you for your warning. I sincerely appreciate it. @Chatzkel Does this mean that H’shem recognizes there are multiple gods in this universe and He is not really The “King of the Universe”, to quote a prayer, and that Judaism does not really believe in One Gd? I know the answer to this question already, the answer is obviously no, but I’m just curious. I also know already that He Never Will Change despite the fact that He Says He Will Change because He Says the Torah Must Never be Changed. Isn’t that correct? Please include your sources in your reply. Thank you very much. | |

Do not inquire about their gods, saying, “How did those nations worship their gods? I too will follow those practices.” | |
