I guess it is a good thing we dont have to look to a self avowed pagan to get a real look at what a Christian is. That would be scary obviously. You are not expected to understand the Biblical truths you attempt to discuss in your state so I do not think there is any further reason to discuss this.ravenwolf said:
You're welcome!ravenwolf said:
My bad!
Well I don't believe that they should call themselves christians either then!! lol
Well I agree with you there. They do have the right to call them selves anything they want to. That is why we have freedom of religion and speech. However as a very strict christian believing the entire bible as the only truth, and infallible, I think that those who incorporate the name christian in to their religion are blaspheming our religion. Don't get me wrong I am not hateful toward them nor do I condemn them. I just have a different belief system. In the end when the days of our lives are over we will all find out the truth. If I am wrong then at least I lived my life faithful to what I believe in. If they are wrong then I pray that GOd has mercy on them. But as for you, kudos for standing on your beliefs. If there were as many christians that defended their faith the world would be a different place!!
What do you mean by my attempt and state...as if i am not in a state able to formulate my own opinion....never mind , i take it back....your like the rest
And therefore they follow the doctrines of demons. They are NOT Christians.Cerridwen said:
UH....the holy spirit is the spirit of wisdom not the goddess of wisdom there is a difference.Besides they are all part of the holy trinity three beings one God..and as for Mary?? Catholics worship Mary not christians, and Catholics don't believe the exact way that christians do they believe that the priest can tell you weather you are forgiven THe only one to do that is Jesus!!Cerridwen said:
Yes Paul did meet Jesus!!Ac 9:1And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest,Ac 9:2And desired of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found any of this way, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound unto Jerusalem.Ac 9:3And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven: Ac 9:4And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?Ac 9:5And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks. Ac 9:6And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.Ac 9:7And the men which journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice, but seeing no man.

I totally understand cuz i kinda figured you were a strict christian and i dont expect you to agree with me, and no, i didnt think you were being hateful, i can always tell by the vibes i get...yours are good
some others here are very hateful and it hurts, and thanks for the kudos.....right back at ya for being a loving person...we need more of those in this world..theres too much hate for my liking.If I came across as rude I am sorry. I merely quoted the word Pagan because that is what your icon says. I meant no harm by it. Please accept my apologies as I do not wish that to be the basis of our relationship. I will go and take the word out of quotes. Thanks for pointing it out to me. Sometimes things seem one way because you cant adequately communicate emotion or intention in type. Please dont hesitate to address me in the future if I offend. I do stand firm in my dogmatic views of Jesus but those views tell me to love others as well. Sometimes I fall very short.Cerridwen said:
Again, I typed but the meaning did not come across. I again offer up my apologies. What I was saying is simply this. The Bible tells us that the messages within Itself are foolishness to those outside the Faith. One must be regenerated in order for the things within the Bible to shine light to their hearts. One will be given an understanding of the Gospel truths in order to give them an opportunity to accept it but beyond that they usually look upon the Bible as dry and meaningless. I am not referring to you as being ignorant or anything else. You seem anything but. Again I am sorry for not communicating better.ravenwolf said:
That rebuke is personally accepted. This is exactly what I was trying to communicate but did so very poorly. Thank you all for pointing out when I am NOT acting very Christ like. I am sure He would not like my Preaching His word without an air of love. I sometimes do sound very rude but that is not my intent. Again, Sorry.alexeeah said:
I must say this:Cerridwen said:
I agree 100%. I only get mad when people claim false things about the bible to use it against and to challenge the integridy of Christianity. Especially when the answers to their claims against Christianity can be found on websites just by searching on google etc.alexeeah said:
This is what I think as well. Whether one actually fits any commonly used definition of "Wiccan" or "Christian" would, of course, depend on which beliefs the person had subsumed into his or her system.Hitokiri Shadow said:
