Jerrell said:The Pagans chose to Become Christian, they were not forced.
Jerrell said:Zeus is Satan according Jesus
Revelation 2:13-1313 I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where Satan's seat is( Zeus Seat)thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth.

I could care less of the actual numbers, that is NOT what the article was about. But this has become par for the course.beckysoup61 said:What I found interesting about the article was this
Current estimates of the total number of executions of innocent people range from 3,000 (by one Roman Catholic source) to 9,000,000 (by many Neopagan sources). The actual figure, based on the examination of court documents and estimates of the number of lost records, is probably in the range of 50,000 to 100,000
I've always heard that the Church puts the numbers too low and doesn't put a lot of emphasis on it and the Pagans highly exaggerated the numbers and put more emphasis then is really needed.
Just what I've heard.:flower:
You believe that, right? My I interest you in a bridge in brooklyn? Selling cheap!Jerrell said:The Pagans chose to Become Christian, they were not forced.
And as was pointed out to me earlier that Christ himself was not a Christian. He was Jewish.Jerrell said:Actually Zeus Does Appear. Zeus is Jupiter(in Roman) He appears in Acts 14:12.
And by Not Forcing Pagans to convert, I mean in early Christian History when all of Pagan rome converteed. And also Many other Pagans before them converted of free will. Gentiles were all pagan, most of Chrisnitans today are gentile...this means something.

beckysoup61 said:About the forcing. Nobody can force you to do anything, even if it's between life and death, you make that choice.
They choose to become Christians even if they were practicing another thing in private and secretive.
You have a choice in everything you do, you cannot be forced. It's like the old saying
"The devil made me do it." The devil can't make you do anything, you have to choose to do it.
Those people CHOOSE between life and death, but they chose.

Kind of odd, eh? Most Wiccans have studied Christianity, but most Christians are.. afraid?... to see the truth about Wicca.Jerrell said:Wicca is the same as any Pagan religion it is Vanity in my opinion. The Bilbe calls Paganism Vanity, so it is. I do not so much lack knowledge of Wicca, but i lack knowledge of most of the sects of Wicca. I do not know their Practices.
Plus, I'd rather read a book about the religion that's not written by a christian, So i can get a look at it from their pint of view.
Jerrell said:These Idols were just stone(or metal). They were nothing to be worshipped or revered. Pagans had to know that they should turn from those vain gods. If you stand still and allow the statues of these idols to stand, what help is it. They had to destroy the statues.
P.S.- Read the BIble, They did not Force or attack the pagans in Early Church History(Book of Acts) INstead Chrisnity spread among Pagans thorugh Acts of Healing, and overwhelming convincing of the truth of the Word of God.
That may be part of the design. Purposely using the law of attraction in your favor can have terrible consequences if you don't know what you are doing. One thing about karma is that it is lighter on the ignorant. With great wisdom, comes great responsiblity. I really think it is for our benefit that these wisdoms are held for those who are ready to recieve it. This path of spirituality is a specialty field, and not a general population thing.jeffrey said:Kind of odd, eh?

Think so? I was Christian up until a short time ago. I'm 49, studied Christianity to the hilt. Then one day, with the help from my wife, and knowledge gained from this forum, I decided to no longer be aJerrell said:You can Study Chrisnity all you wish. You wont understand it unless you are Christian. Most People are are not christian< as well as some who Are considered Christian. Dont understand Christianity. Just as many in the world dont understand Judaism. Studing does not bring you understanding, what brings true understanding is experincing the power of the being behind the name of the religion. That is God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit of Christianity. Now let's get back on Topic.
Very wise. :jam:EnhancedSpirit said:That may be part of the design. Purposely using the law of attraction in your favor can have terrible consequences if you don't know what you are doing.
