I think I am still a Pagan Christian but I worship a goddess who is not associated with bad things now. The goddess helps me feel better because of my rape. I think it is called Christopaganism. I have read some books on it. I feel it fits me well.

In trying to understand what you are saying, are you saying that we can design a god as we wish?
No there was just a book that helped me. I was Pagan but a book called Jesus through Pagan Eyes by Reverend Mark Townsend brought me to Jesus.

There is only ONE who washes and heals

All these "others" are imitators
You need no other and do not listen to any other but THE ONE who came forth from GOD to "show us THE FATHER"

And no one knows THE FATHER but THE SON

And those whom THE SON chooses to reveal HIM

Yes, infinite goodness is a tricky thing to get a handle on. The best we poor humans can do, it seems to me, is to imagine the best we can imagine, and then still concede that our imaginings are inadequate. And that's as good a description of God, as you will find anywhere.

Best wishes, Strivax.

Who said anything about declaring ourselves?

I think I will be a Catholic because I miss having a feminine Goddess with the God and then I can just worship Jesus Christ and Mary.
Well, we should only worship God, but it is definitely nice to find a church that acknowledges that God has made both male and female in God's image and that both are good and valued. And that both play a role in salvation.

Look up Jephthah's daughter and Queen Esther's stories. They are just as much prophecies of God's salvation as the ones related to Jesus specifically.

By the way, everything is permissible

But NOT EVERYTHING is beneficial

Are you claiming that what this woman is doing is beneficial

She knows what she has suffered
And she is willing to still go to others instead of CHRIST and HIM alone?

Why does this woman need to entertain PAGAN input

Can we be baptized into Esther or Japheth's daughter or Mary?

Could you explain how Esther or Jsoheth's daughter are just as much prophecies of the one related specifically to JESUS

Was the WORD of TRUTH meant to lead us to anyone else but THE SON of GOD who came forth from THE FATHER

Is there anothe name by which men can be saved?

Please explain your input

Is it on line TO GOD's TRUTH?

Or are you offering "another gospel"?

Dear miknik5, if you want to teach a Latino child geography, you don't begin by talking to them in English, but in Spanish. So it is with those new to our religion. Respect where they are coming from, and let them find out for themselves where they feel comfortable within the Christian communion. Not everyone needs to be a clone of me, or even you, to have a meaningful faith.

Best wishes, Strivax.

Wow. Now that you've been thoroughly told off in this thread (only by a few...), I would say to be cautious in this. I don't know your story, and it's not all that important for me to know. But you've said that the 'goddess' helps you feel better. What are the characteristics of the goddess that you can find in Christ? I would say to keep your vision single. Christ has saved us for a purpose. There is no better time than the Easter season to reflect on this. So, as you might be drawn to the goddess, ask in what ways Christ has already shown us that he is sufficient for those needs.
Praying for you!

Do you know where they came out of?

She gave a whole detailed description and now she wants to go back

I am not sure that she is being truthful

But you are free to use the mouth GOD gave you as well


I'm not the LORD and MASTER

Queen Esther fasted and prayed for 3 days and nights to save her people. Jesus died and on the third day he rose again to save his people. Jephthah's daughter died to save the people of Israel; so did Jesus. That's all. No new gospel.
