 Quote From: elffie I wanted to tell you that it seems that you and I are both faithfull women, not of the same faith, but we do believe in something, let's leave it at that. I never once told you that you were believing the wrong thing, but I did say that not everyone will agree with you. You are telling me that I am wrong, that my beleifs do not exist and with that I am finished. I can tell that you are the kind of person that will push your beliefs on others until they cave and say that you are right. I'm sorry, but I know what I am doing is right for me, not for you. With regards to Paganism, I think you need to do some research, it may do you some good to learn about a different religion.........it was one of the first religions before Christianity, don't forget that. All in all, I have enjoyed conversing with you, as you have made myself even stronger in my beliefs. I have met people like you and they were not clear about my beliefs until they did research and found out that it is not bad, that maybe I was doing the right thing.......if only everyone were like them. I think if you look into it more, you may have a better understanding. I just wanted to say goodbye for now and please, try not to be so harsh in your words towards others. I wish you good fortune and blessed be. I think countrycrow let her emotions take hold of her response and it came out a little over bearing but she does have a point. I am a Christian myself and very proud & secure in my love and faith in Christ. I will admit I have never read a pagan book or looked to any other god or goddess for anything. I can say that it hasn't been until the last couple of years that my true understanding and faith has grown. My walk with God is stronger now through what I have read in the Bible and from what I have experienced through church. Because I have not read a thing about paganism (Frankly it scares the daylights out of me) I can't argue a thing about what is written in any pagan book What I can argue is what is written in the Bible. Revelation 1:8 "I am the Alpha and the Omega" says the Lord God, "who is, and who was, and who is yet to come, the Almighty" My point is... If God is the Alpha (the beginning, no other before) then wouldn't that mean that Christianity was first? Because Christians believe in God and the word of the Holy Bible. It also states in the Bible that God created the world in 7 days. That would be Genesis 1- 1:31. That would be all about on how on the first day God said "Let there be Light" and Shazam! There was Light. And It continues on with creation of the earth and everything on it. On the seventh day however God rested and declared that the Sabbath day. Hence is where us Christians get that & spend that day in church. My next point to be was .... If God created the earth and everything in it, wouldn't that make Christianity the first religion as well? So I am pretty confident that paganism is NOT the first religion "don't forget that!" I want to also say that Satan believes in God as well. He was after all an angel of God. He thought that he could do it better however and so now we live daily with the ramifications of his huge ego. CountryCow would not be doing her/his part as a Chrisitan if she/he was not spreading the word of the gospel. It is her dutie to share the word of the Bible. As a Christian I am sure that she/he pray's for others to find their way to Christ before it is to late for them. I will apologize for CountryCow or any other Christian, including myself, if anything has ever been said to turn you away from God because that is not what is wanted for you. I know the Bible can put some people off because there are things written that are very difficult to understand but maybe try reading other Christian books. The "Left Behind" series is absolutly phennominal at the way it explains the Bible. Like your asking others to look into your beliefs and give it a chance, I am asking the same of you. Give Christianity a chance and maybe you will understand the passion of it. God bless!
P.S. CountryCow~ We all judge...We all fall short of the "Glory of God" |
