The Shield of David...Magen David

[Sister Alvear]

Yes, I do know some say it is associated with witch craft and all kinds of things...I see it as star that represents a country, a people...nothing more and nothing less...

There's an Apostolic church here in Buffalo that is housed in a former Jewish synagogue. Carved in stone above the front entrance is a Magen David.

No thanks.It would be the same as having pictures of the Virgin Mary all over the church or even her statues.Idolatry is idolatry.

Well Pagans and witches actually admit to it being a pagan symbol for them. One reason I read is because of the Kaballah

The Star of David and the Menorah are the most notable symbols in Judaism. The Menorah is certianly older. I choose the Star of David not because of its pagan origins, but because of its wide-spread contemporary association with Judaism.

To me, it certainly IS a symbol of Jewish roots. To you, it is pagan. I suggest that you not wear a Star of David.

Brother why have you not studied it out?I am part Chippawa indian but I am not putting on amulets nor am I hanging dream catchers.I clearly understand that they are witchcraft.How about taking that Star off and asking God at the altar if he is pleased with you wearing a pagan symbol? Its not that its just a pagan symbol to me.It is a pagan symbol pure and simple.I did not construct the symbol nor did I pick it out for the Zionist movement.Its not about me.Red is red even if a person is colorblind.That doesn't mean that they can't admit to being colorblind and that red is red.Its called growth.
