Are the pagan deities 'real'?

[Demi777]

Aye they be. I've given my eye to know the runes.

Woah havent seen u here in ages
How are you

 

[Magenta]

If my home was invaded by trespassers numbering in the tens of thousands I'd be savage about defending my family and lands too. And those so called Christian Caucasian invaders did not love their neighbor as themselves, nor their "enemy" when they arrived on this continent.

Irrelevant, since violent conflict among native Americans predates Europeans showing up on the scene.

Has Jesus spoken to you all?

 

[Reformyourself]

Ask Dagon if he is real.

Oh, I forgot. He can't speak. Couldn't even before he lost his head over the ark.

Ask Baal. No, he can't seem to speak, either, judging by what he had to say to Elijah. Nothing.

Find one who speaks and ask him.

O/T people worshipped false gods that didn’t exist,(and many still do) but Jesus cast demons out of possessed people

You then are very familiar with this:

Today is May 1st, May Day, or the Pagan/Wiccans BELTANE.
There are 8 Holidays they follow in the "Wheel of the Year."
Today, they will call the 4 corners, the Elements, burn a big pit fire and run through it to remove impurities.
But BELTANE goes back to BAAL and the Canaanites who tossed their children into the fires, sacrificing them for wealth and prosperity.

I once was a follower of these deities.

100% DEMONIC!

It's why today I am praying against and Rebuking what is to be taking place once the sun sets!

Jesus is God because this book says so!

You are correct buffy. Jesus IS God. He said He and The Father are one, that’s why He was killed, for making Himself equal with God. Thomas saw it, so did peter, Paul, James etc. He is the image of the invisible God

Has Jesus spoken to you all?

Regularly. You?

Jesus is God because this book says so!

Jesus is “theos”, from the heavens or divine. That’s actually the translation. Because there was a big push for monotheism and the commandment states you shall have no other gods, in order to satisfy this ripple they came up with the God in three forms. Clearly Christ has always given authority to the Father. We aren’t even supposed to pray to Jesus. We pray to the Father in Jesus name. When He returns, all authority will be given to Jesus and He will rule physically among us. Since Earth will belong to Christ He will share His inheritance with His Bride. This is the message. He isn’t divine because it’s written. It’s written because He is divine.

Regularly. You?

Yes. He told me ‘if I do not believe Moses and the prophets, I won’t believe in Him’. (Luke 16:31) That means creation to resurrection and everything in between.

Has Jesus spoken to you all?

I can't answer for others, but I am absolutely certain that He has spoken to me.

Irrelevant, since violent conflict among native Americans predates Europeans showing up on the scene.

Not irrelevant at all since Europeans were violent before showing up on this continent.
You posted a link reporting native people's violence. The cause for that violence against those described in the article is relevant.
Tribal wars are irrelevant when responding to your DailyMail 2013article that speaks of Comanche peoples violence toward European invaders.

The truth Johnny Depp wants to hide about the real-life Tontos: How Comanche Indians butchered babies, roasted enemies alive and would ride 1,000 miles to wipe out one family

• Comanche Indians were responsible for one of the most brutal slaughters in the history of the Wild West
• However, Johnny Depp wants to play Tonto in a more sympathetic light

Why not seek out actual historic reporting? Johnny Depp means nothing to the issue of tribal people.

The Comanche – Horsemen of the Plains

"...
Many historians debate whether the Comanche deserve their ferocious reputation, indicating that they were only fighting for retrieval of the land they felt was theirs. Continuing to protect their territory, the formidable Comanche aggressively attacked the many settlers passing through on their way to the California Gold Rush. Some were killed, but most often their horses and cattle were stolen.

The fierce Comanche continued to maintain their independence and even increase their territory until new diseases, including smallpox and cholera, began to take their toll. By the 1870s, these illnesses had reduced their population to about 7,000 people.


Medicine Lodge, Kansas Treaty Council
In the 1860s efforts began to move the Comanche to a reservation in Indian Territory (Oklahoma). In the Treaty of Medicine Lodge of 1867, the government offered them churches, schools, and annuities in return for a vast tract of land totaling over 60,000 square miles. They also promised to stop the buffalo hunters, who were decimating the great herds of the Plains with the condition that the Comanche, along with the Apache, Kiowa, Cheyenne, and Arapaho relocate.

Obviously, the government failed on their promise the prevent the buffalo hunters from slaughtering the herds, which soon provoked the Comanche Chief White Eagle to attack a group of hunters in the Texas Panhandle in 1874. Known as the Second Battle of Adobe Walls, the attack was a disaster for the Comanche and the army soon drove those who were remaining onto a reservation."

The

They speak...to tell someone to speak to them...asking them to dibble into occult things is not a very christisn thing to do. I doubt Jesus would say that to someone

They don't. But have it your way, I am un-Christlike, I guess, with my use of irony/sarcasm. I can suggest some passages of scripture you may want to cross out of your bible for the use of it there. The whole account of Elijah and the priests of Baal would be a start.

 

[JeremiahsCup]

Anyone could say that about anyone else

I suppose one would think that, but believe it or not, Jesus is the only one whom this is said about.

First of all, I bet you have no idea what the Bible even is.

It's a Lineage record.
Much like you, your parents, their parents, their parents, until the first member of your specific family.

But for the Bible, it not only lists the generations of people (specifically the Hebrew people), but it also includes some special members of this unique family. It includes their struggles, it includes periods where they were slaves, it includes tragedies that took place on this Earth we live in and how they survived it (8 people). But the unique part of this family was their GOD. And they go into great detail about WHO their God was, and how He helped them, and how He dealt with the generations throughout history.

These were actual and literal people who lived, died, and were inspired to write some details of their life that dealt with their GOD teaching them lessons, bringing them through perilous times, and their GOD's promise to them.

But these people had a tendency to forget their GOD until they were in trouble. They would sometimes worship these pagan gods and would mix with the other peoples of the Earth and choose their ways rather than keep the ones they were given by birthright. Eventually, this led to their GOD saying to them, since you do these things purposefully I (their GOD) will make a way so ALL people on Earth can believe in Me (their GOD). And this is where we come into the picture.

So this is just not a Book about Who God is, but a Book about a people who had something very special and unique. And they gave it away. But it is indeed about GOD, my GOD! And each day I live, I face some of the very same problems these Ancient People did. And I can read their story and apply it to my own life. Just like I can now see how MY GOD is doing for me, as He once did for them.

biker,
I sensed that you may have had some angst against buffy last night.
Is it a personal thing, or were you just picking a fight?
