ok......theres something that I am deeply afraid of........will I burn in hell(I am christian) if i still follow this religion cuz God is CRYING because he sees people falling like sand in hell.......his own CHILDREN!!!!!...... can you imagine that.......God has eternal love for his children but I am afraid that I WILL burn in hell if im still pagan....... please show me if im right or wrong
Burn in hell LOL there is no hell where sinners roast.
We are gods children ?, we are all nothing more than animals, educated primates.
god has eternal love for his children, what is love, how can a paper omnipotent being love anything, and if he did he would probablly only love his self as his omnipotent ways can only bring fourth a omnipotent ego.
Why should we come to Jesus? Because He first loved us. All we can do is to respond.
What do we get from Jesus? Firstly, His Holy Spirit convicts us of sin, He helps us to repent and turn from sin. After forgiveness, the Holy Spirit of God turns into our Comforter. God then gives us a new heart and spirit where He writes His Holy moral Law of the 10 Commandments. He gives us a foretaste of paradise, a slice of heaven. The fruits of the Holy Spirit are love, joy, peace, longsuffering, faith, gentleness, meekness and self-control. As a result, we now love what we use to hate and hate what we use to love. Jesus Christ achieves a total transformation in us.
you can't burn in a made up place. Paganism was around long before Jesus even walked the planet. The "Christian" holidays are mostly pagan based anyways, for example, Halloween, and Christmas. When the Christians slaughtered innocent people to convert them with the mind frame of Believe me or I'll hurt you, they left a lot of the pagan traditions in tact to make conversion easier. Honestly, I can't figure out how anyone can honestly sit behind something that says, Do what I say, Not what I do. In the Bible, God murders people, but yet one of the Commandments says Thou Shalt Not Kill. Kinda Hypocritical don't you think? I can type some long speech about this, but honestly don't feel like it. Will give you one last example of Christians "borrowing" pagan things. The Hell you know, is based off the old Greek river in Hades. No Hades isn't Hell, but the Hell we all hear about is based on Tartarus.
Anyways, You should really do research that predates Christianity if you want to learn magic, or anything similar. Here's a tidbit on Tartarus
Listen Blackslash there is a thin line inbetween paganism and Christianity. But if you think your christian believe what you believe and you will get a reward.

While I don't necessarily believe that hellfire is something worth being afraid of, I would like to point out to people proclaiming the age of Wicca and paganism that the Hebrew faith, wherein the concept of hell originates, predates the great pyramids. It is as ancient (if not moreso) a faith that most of the traditional magick practices, and indeed it's ceremonial traditions have influenced most modern magical practice.
As Pagans we don't believe in hell. From what I've read and believe we are reincarnated into a lesser form for wrongful actions throughout our life.
If you are that afraid of your God's actions toward you for wanting to follow a different path, perhaps it's best that you don't. Though I personally don't see why anyone would wish to follow a religion that uses terror tactics on its followers, but that is simply my own personal opinion.
Also, as mentioned before, Christianity has incorporated a vast majority of Pagan beliefs and practices into their own religion....
Do forgive me for the second post but I feel that I should mention that Modern Wicca and various branches of Paganism have roots that are found in Ancient Druidism. From what I know the Hebrew faith did not have any influence over it.
Shouldn't preaching and proselytizing be either against the rules or limited to the advertising forum? This is worded (somewhat) carefully as a query, but is in fact a pitch.
