Re: why is there so much hate?

Idiotic woman! You are not ever going to be MY neighbor. Jesus was not talking about goth scum like you.

Brothers and sisters in Christ, take a look at her actual photograph!

why do believe you can decide who jesus was refering too? where you one of the 12? where u there when jesus said "oh but not goths. i dont like goths" because i'm pretty sure goths didnt exist back then. and would a goth or pagan or any other "religiously untouchable" group be the modern day equivelent to a samaritin? and didnt jesus teach us that it was ok to like these people?

i want ur opinion on the tale of the good samaratin because any time i have brought it up u have ignored me

Re: why is there so much hate?

ok I've been having a look around the forums here and have noticed an unusual amount of hatred towards other religions. what's up with that? I mean i'm neo-pagan and have friends of many other religions and we all get on fine? could someone please explain to me why it's so different on here? thank you

It is because these people are not true christians, for if they were, they would do as Christ said, and love thy neighbor as thyself.

Unpraise!!!

Is that the best you can do, homer? Your earlier posts, though wicked and full of despair, were at least amusing. Much like watching a gang of colored youths scrambling for a watermelon rolling down the street. But you've really been slipping with the last several posts. I believe we may be getting through to you, and you may be getting closer to Salvation.

Re: why is there so much hate?

Dear friends.

Please forgive my being away for so long. I had important business in Papua. I had to put many witches and grizzly lizzard worshippers to the flame. As you may imagine, it took some time.

And now that I have made it to a computer after all my efforts, I see not much has changed. Again we have fools and disbelievers questioning the word of our Lord God. One wonders where to begin?

Welcome back again Pastor.
Jesus has truly Blessed us by allowing your return to God's favorite place on the Internets and I am sensing that the battle against Heathens has taken a turn in our favor.

Praise!!

Re: why is there so much hate?

what about my christian friends that accept me for being pagan? are they destined for hell?

"Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shal enter into the kingdom of heaven"

One must truly be sincere. Our Lord knows when one is lying.

1 John 2.22.Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.
23.Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.

If you do not truly believe, there can be no escape.

As for your friends, well I hope they are trying to show you the light. For that is also commanded.

Re: why is there so much hate?

Anyone who accepts you for being pagan is no Christian. The world is infested with false Christians.

If they were truly your friends, then they would do everything in their power to bring you to Christ.

again i bring up the story of the good samaratin. if jesus taught us that we could love a samaratin does that mean jesus was not a true christian. and i am not trying to make fun of you i am just trying to find some reasoning behind you statement

Re: why is there so much hate?

Our Lord, Jesus Christ, commanded us never to show respect to any other religions. Please read the scripture I have quoted. Non believers are referred to as darkness. Darkness in this case literally means evil, or, Satanic. This is precisely why Christians wiped out the Pagans. Make no mistake, it was not Christians who suffered at the hands of the Pagans, it was the Pagans who were utterly destroyed in Europe and throughout the Roman and Byzantine empires. This was done at our Lord's command. Justinian finally did away with the remnants of Paganism through his radical new Laws. Non Christians were all put to death.

If you expect to be shown respect by any Christian, well franlkly, you are barking up the wrong tree. All you can expect in your future is to suffer in eternal Hellfire.

Or you can confess your sins to God and Hope against Hope that originally he chose you to be a Christian. For we Christians are truly the chosen ones.

Re: why is there so much hate?

The correct translation: "God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?" Numbers 23:19

well i stand corrected. i was using the GOD'S WORD translation, whereas i think you where using the king james edition

Re: why is there so much hate?

I am an old man and I have spent my life putting Pagans to death. I know more about the abominations of Pagan religions than you will ever know. For more than 40 years I cleansed the wilderness of Papua of animism and witchcraft.

The question here is more about you, as a visitor. How can you question I, Pastor Nereu Gargalo?

You profess to ask questions in order to learn "where we are coming from". But this is not the case. You have added ridicule to your posts at every turn showing us disrespect. Is this how you behave when invited to someone's house for dinner? When you are a guest?

I have no reason whatsover to respect you or your ignorant opinions. Unlike you I have studied the pagan religions. I just bet you have not even read Ovid's descriptions of the Pagan festivals held in Rome. Do you even know what the work is called?

Do you know how many animistic religions exist in Papua?

You do not even understand or know what you profess to believe. And you question us??

you say you have spent most of your life putting pagans to death. doesnt it say in the 10 commandments that thou shalt not kill?

and you know what? you do seem to know more about paganism than i first thought. and for that i am sorry. i humbly admit that i was wrong and shouldnt have jumped to conclusions.

you say that i do not understand that which i profess to believe. i think you will find you are wrong. i never professed to follow any of papua'a religions. i wholehartedly understand that which i believe. and at the end of the day isn't christianiy more to you than just facts? the same applies to me and my religion.

you also say that i have ridiculed you at every step. and you are right. i realise that this wasnt the way to go about things and i am sorry. i just get a little annoyed when people dont respect my view which i am sure you can understand.

at the end of the day i am a pagan. you cant change that. no more than i can change the fact that you are a christian that is set in his ways (and in a way i commend you for this. i may not agree with some of you views but at least you can stick to your guns) I have christian friends. I hav atheist friends. I have other pagan friends. and we dont let our religions get between us. in fact our varied spiritual backgrounds only helps us strengthen our relationships.

once again i appologise for being disrespectful. i dont like people being disrespectful of my religion and appologise for being hipocriticle.

Re: why is there so much hate?

Let us look at your statement in the previous post. You said there were errors. Please show us the errors in those quotes.

i am not sure what post you are talking about. however i am just gonna jump to the conclusion (because that seems to be a running trend on this site) that you believe the bible to be infallible.

well after havin a quick browse through my bible i found 2 wonderful passages:

"God is not like people. He tells no lies. He is not like humans. He doesn't change his mind. When he says something, he does it. When he makes a promise, he keeps it." Numbers 23:19

"So the LORD reconsidered his threat to destroy his people." Exodus 32:14

What do you make of this? I thought it was pretty interesting and wanted a more spiritually enlightned persons view
