I can see where you are coming from, but making it look as though you are angry and shouting is not very Pagan of you. I am an eclectic Wiccan, as in the traditional Wiccan, not Gardanerian or Alexandrian. As you know, you cannot be Wiccan without being Pagan. It is each to there own, people believe in what they want to. When the christians are being rude & bible bashing, then don't let it get to you. Remember that anger will turn to hate and make a bitter person. Pagans are not bitter. But i would like to point out to christians & all that think this, that Lucifer IS NOT associated with the "devil" (something we do not believe in), but Lucifer does mean "Bearer of Light". and is used in rituals of thanks and blessings. I have lots of points i can make to christians about contradictions in the bible etc, but i will not do this, as it is each to thier own. Where as if someone stops me to preach, i tell them what path i follow and that i am a Witch. Suprisingly, they are intrigued, and a Jehovas witness has actually said that he wished there were more pple like me!. We are all allowed our opinions....\nBB\nSolista

You don't need to "prepare", you only need to ask.  He saves you because He loves you, not because of anything you do.  We are all sinners, weather we believe in Jesus or not.  The difference is that believers accept Jesus as their savior.  Christians are not "better" than anyone else, we know we are sinners, we ask for forgiveness, and we believe in Christ - that's what Christianity is, no matter what anyone tells you.  That other guy is right in his answer, too.  It's good to read and fellowship (associate with) other Christians.  God can direct you to a good church.  If you believe in Jesus, you're going to heaven.  It's that simple.

I wasn't going to answer this, but then I thought, at least non christians tend to post their comments in the right place, which is in response to  a question, whether it's what you want to hear or not, at least it's where it can be read by anyone who chooses to see it.  Unlike the many so called christians who seem to take great delight in declaring their saved status and yet at the same time spam countless mail boxes with vitriolic e-mails full of spite and hatred and arrogance.\nObviously I accept not all christians are like this, but you have a minority on here who unfortunately are ensuring there will never be tolerance, acceptance and harmony between all parties,

You are obviously not even searching for the truth. If you truly were a "Christian" then you would love your brothers and sisters in Christ.\nI thought your other question was a rouse. Get real would you!

Even though I admire your efforts, the way you have asked the question, will only make the christians feel insulted and become defensive. Only a very openminded one would read your post and seriously think about what you are saying. Good points, though.

I have grown up in a Baptist church all of my life. I believe 100% in our God. I have the same question as you. It actually all came about this last week that I have been doing a lot of research on religion. I could not help myself from thinking your same question yesterday while in church. I felt quilty myself for even thinking this but it just puzzles me to no end. \n\nMy question is where did God come from. I agree there had to have been a beginning with him. Who put him here. Who sent him to Heaven & made Heaven for him to live? He was here on Earth so did he create all the disciples & the ones that crucified his son? \n\nI will keep a watch on this question b/c I would like to see the answer or an idea of where to look for it.

Jesus died for my sins.  It was a long time ago, but it affects me NOW.  I have been saved because of what he did.  I don't say anything about slavery, it doesn't matter any more.  Blacks have been freed, free for a VERY long time, and it doesn't make a difference.  Its not comparable to my religion.  Jesus saved my soul.  I will dwell on it, its the most important thing in my life.

God answers prayers of those people that have gotten right with God and have God first in their heart, Its a relationship. Signs of existance hmmmm how about us and the earth. Or do you think this was an accident, the human body is so complex it cant be just by chance!Have lots of doubts about God, Jesus, or the Bible? Most people who think about this do wonder "How do I know that what the Bible says is true?" At ---, we think that this is an excellent question deserving an excellent answer, and that's what we provide in our "Facts Behind the Faith" seminar. Contrary to what you may have heard, God doesn't ever expect us to have "blind faith." He has always proven what He has said, and He's done that conclusively. The only thing that separates Christianity from every other religion is that it can PROVE what it says to be true. No other religion can. We can prove logically, scientifically, and archaeologically that God must exist, that the Bible is directly from God, that Jesus was God's Son, and even that He rose from the dead. Sound impossible? Then you owe it to yourself to force us to prove it. We guarantee that you'll be amazed at what you learn, and you deserve PROOF. Let us give you some  Go to this site and check out the simnars

I can see why you feel this way. I am a Christian but the ones who say they are Christians are they using it as a name tag or are they really saved or not and living the walk instead of just talking the talk? People should not hide the fact that they are Christians or saved either for that matter. But we have to understand as Christians or saved people that sometimes the only Jesus people see is us! Are we doing and living the way Jesus would and treating others the way he would have .... WWJD What would Jesus do is something to ask ourselves before doing anything that may be questionable in God's eyes. Do we treat others the way Jesus would? Sorry I am rambling on here so i will get off my soap box now lol. Sorry! Real Christians should not have affairs either or ever. But we are not perfect either and can slip up and make mistakes and err but we need to get out of it and ask for forgiveness from God and move on and not live any longer that way ! God hates divorce and adultery!

God is the most important person in my life. I also know that you can go to heaven if you get saved and the way that you get saved is if you believe that Jesus died on the cross from your sins, rose on the third day, and then you have to confess to God in prayer that you are a sinner and that you believe He died on the cross for your sins and ask for His forgiveness on your sins and it is THAT simple, salvation is a free gift, we can't earn it. I am a baptist who believes (let me rephrase that, I KNOW) that this stuff I said is true. My name is Matthew James Needham and don't be shy to contact me on this. my email address is im_proud2b_a_christian@yahoo.com

I think it is horrible that people of any faith would post such nasty comments. I am a believer in God, but do not call myself a Christian. I have had bad experiences with them like yours. These people are not being very good Christians as they are going against a lot of what the bible teaches, ie tolerance and not judging others. You should ignore these people and keep asking questions. It is how we learn and understand.

"NICKNAME", who are you?  That is really wrong!  Crosses are not pagan in the least!  They are not idols, they are ways of remembering the amazing thing that Christ did for us.  And Christ DID die on a cross.  Where'd you come up with stake from?  Read your Bible and do your research!  Goodness!  I've never heard such a thing before as "Jesus died on a stake"!  That's rubbish.  I'm sorry if I sound rude, I'm just in a stressful mood.  But I mean what I say.  If anyone wants to talk to me about Christianity, feel free.  My email is earthtoblondes@yahoo.com  Give me an email if you have any questions/comments!  I hope to help everyone I know to become a Christian, and I'd like to help you too!

I believe you are very right in alot of new or unfed Christian hearts. We get complacent and don't read The Bible and get refreshed on what EVERY follower of God had to go through! Paul had the thorn in his side, Stephen got killed, all were mocked! Look at poor Job, what a price to pay! When we really start to follow The Good Shepherd's voice just know that He's going to lead you into "The valley of the shadow of death" at some point in your life to test your faith in Him(with good right!). Good question and point to make, friend! I hope that helps you. God bless.
