I Corinthians 6
Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

Abusers of themselves with mankind are those who blindly follow that which people of this world do or tell them to do.
Many pagan acts are done today by this world and by churches.
A pagan act is an act of man, often considered to be a good work, that is not in the instructions given by God by the Holy Bible or is opposite to instructions of Bible.
Acts such as:
* Decorating graves
* Lighting candles to increase faith in prayer
* Praying to dead humans ... such as prayers to Mary, and dead "saints" which are named saints by other men.
* Crossing themselves
* Calling men "Reverend", to make men as an idol
And there are other works such as "voting" for humans beings, where you approve one above another. And allowing yourself to be swept away by men telling you to do such things as vote, when this causes you to hate the other party and take on various fears as to what will happen if the other party is elected, thus placing your faith and hope in governments of men rather than God.
We must not go along with men when such causes us to violate scripture and put our hope in men.
We come to recognize that our kingdom is not of this world.
We are just waiting for Jesus to come and take us off this world, which will be destroyed by fire by God.
Keep your faith and hope in God and be sure you are following what HE tells you to do.
