 Quote From: heather175 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" My point is... If God is the Alpha (the beginning, no other before) then wouldn't that mean that Christianity was first?
You should really read up on your history. Paganism existed thousands of years before Christianty. Christians persecuted Pagans in an attempt to convert. Christians took Pagan temples and turned them into churches. Look around. Everything is Pagan. The days of the week, the months of the year, the planet, the seasons, the celebrations in those seasons.
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.
Why does it scare you? Is it because the church tells you to be scared? Christianity has Pagan roots.
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.
This would be your "SUNday" wouldn't it? Funny how the word SUN representing the God is in the spelling. Christians did this in an effort to convert Pagans.
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.
I have read into Christianity. If you would have read my earlier postings you have seen that I did go to church when I was younger. I was asking for her to give my beleifs a chance because she wasn't. She wasn't listening.
So maybe before you write something you really don't know that much about you should really do some research. I am not trying to sound rude, I just like for people to understand more about my religion. I listen to them, why can't they listen to me? |
