Sorry I offended you, It wasn't intentional. If you want to plaster me for obscenity, you may want to change your screen name, among many folk a shag ain't a style of carpet.

Re: I ask you to accept me

I make no apologies. Nothing in the Wiccan religion says turn the other cheek, I respect true Christians. I will treat you respectfully and I expect the same in return. I am here because I wish to reconnect with friends, not re-engage enemies.

lol I'm not going to ask (afraid) what it means to some. I chose it cause my beard is kinda "shaggy looking" to some, esp those that are against beards. Had I known it means something nasty or perverted, I probly woulda chose a different name.

Re: I ask you to accept me

What is the fuss? Has John said he was here to proselytize? AFF has atheists, agnostics, at least one Mormon, present Apostolics, past Apostolics, and has for years allowed some people to openly call into question the Bible and things of faith.

John comes back, didn't make any wrongful posts (at least not till some here rejected him) & because he used to be an ultra-con and now is upfront and shares he is a pagan, he isn't wanted and yet others may remain?

I don't understand. Why the uproar over him when he hasn't tried to push his beliefs on this board?

For what it's worth...

1 Chronicles 16:26,

Quote:
For all the gods of the people are idols: but the Lord made the heavens.
1 Corinthians 10:19-21,

Quote:
19 What say I then? that the idol is any thing, or that which is offered in sacrifice to idols is any thing?
20 But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils.
21 Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils.
You may think the pagan gods are something different and unique from evil spirits, but they are not. They are elohim, sure, but they are not gods, let alone "old gods" in any real sense.

They are imitaters of the True. You are heading for disaster. They will make sure you think they are harmless, even benevolent, so that, as other wiccans who say they only practice "white magic", you are not in any danger from them.

It is the classic deception all pagans face.

I know you don't know me from anyone, and have no reason to care what I have to say. You have no reason to think I know what I'm talking about. And I'm sure you've already heard this all before, so you can dismiss me at your leisure, although I hope you don't.

I HOPE YOU DON'T.

Re: I ask you to accept me

It's one thing to remove one's self from all the man-made trappings and unnecessary rituals of the Christian faith, it's another thing entirely to remove oneself from Christianity altogether, and so, remove oneself from the faith of the Son of God, Jesus Christ.
