I believe in a divine being, with many names and many faces. All of those identities often referred to as God or Goddess. SO yes.
Moving this thread to a more appropriate location
cant people discuss beliefs in a pub?? a social gathering place that is family orientated (at least in ireland)...
aadei.... never would have imagined you were PC... *chuckle* ya cant have a brew in church ya know....
please refer to my signature... all tongue in cheek... kinda.
Sure you can. Figured though that why was a thread about such a serious subject in the Jester's Court? I and apparently a couple others didn't think it made sense. The Philosophy forum though is perfect for this kind of discussion.
I'm not complaining at all The thread is neat.
As for me being PC on that post... I didn't used to be and one of the things I need to work on is getting back to that state of not caring if I offend someone on the subject because of how I believe. As for how I arrived at my belief on the subject, I spent many sleepless nights comparing various religons, many of which seemed at odds with each other. Perticularly I started doing this because as a Christian I was curious about why everyone really had all the stereotypes on Witches, and I was getting curious about what the truth was about that, which led me in to studying Wicca. As I got in to it I found Wiccan teachings to mesh with Christ pretty well. Then when I looked back out at the world I came to the conclusion that all these different Gods and Goddesses from all these different religions seemed to be different faces on the same thing. All the tales just re tellings of the same ideas set for a different environment and culture. All sharing so much in common that it only makes sense there is one central source for it all. One polynomial, multifaceted God/Goddess that gave a different face to different peoples to say the same thing in different ways.
The path of Christ The paths up the mountain the path of enlightenment all the same ...
Do unto others as you would have done to you
And ye harm none, do as ye will
so many places and so many ways in which anything that really matters is saying the same thing.... All these religions involving God/Goddess having a son by way of a human.... Coincidence? I think not. Can I prove it? Now if I could do that then what would be the point of the word 'Faith'?
Now, I don't really like any 'title' as such. Probably the best term I've found for how I believe would be referred to as 'Pagan Christian' I believe Christ is probably the only living person who ever had it rather figured out, And a lot of the Pagan teachings I've found tend to I think relay the message better than the Bible does. Not in all cases, but in several. Personally I rather prefer the phrasing of the Wiccan Rede as it doesn't leave as much open for interpritation.
i thought it was in the pub.... my bad... forgot it was in the jesters court.... but i thought the jesters court was run by the bot? i am so confused...
I absolutley believe in God and His son, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. The Trinity Godhead created this world and the universe and mankind. I also believe in the written word of God as revealed in the Bible and hold it to be true from beginning to end.
Ok, was I just supposed to say yes or no? Sorry, me bad. I couldn't resist, but ... yes!
