Could you tell me from Scripture where we are told to study any other religion? Just one verse will satisfy me... A little hint about studying and getting involved with other religions... If you enter a room where everyone has the 'flu bug you will become infected. If you dwell on the Quran...

This a feeble excuse to condemn all other religions(or lack thereof) without getting exposed to something more logical than the Bible, and thus more desirable. Deep down, they're afraid, you see, that they might be wrong.
And by this they show that they have no faith or understanding of their own religion whatsoever.
If you truly believed and understood your beliefs, you should be able to read anything and see anything without compromising your principles. But since you do not dare to think by yourself and just repeat whatever the pastor says, your stunted faith can not withstand even the smallest attack.
"Could you tell me from Scripture where we are told to study any other religion?"
Could you tell me from Scripture where you can drive a car, eat shellfish or wear different clothing materials?
Or for that matter, NOT study other religions? Not follow or practice mind, not study is your point.
“Could you tell me from Scripture where we are told to study any other religion? Just one verse will satisfy me...”
Oh, sure. “You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor" (Exodus 20:16)
Pretty straightforward. So when you Christains start talking about how other religions think, behave, or plan your bitter deaths, you don’t want to be lying about it, do you? You want to be able to describe what they actually believe, not what you think they believe or what some other dickhead told you they believe. Because you ARE told (In Leviticus 19:19) that Thou shalt not go up and down as a talebearer among thy people: neither shalt thou stand against the blood of thy neighbour; I am the LORD. That literally means don’t be a gossip.
So, repeating the lies of others is just gossip, until you verify it.

Of course, if you enter a room where everyone has the flu, but LIES to you about it you’re infected, too. You can’t just trust others.
Confused?
