Doesn't' surprise me that most here spit in the face of Jesus when congratulating paganism.
Doesn't surprise me at all because, although "awake" to conspiracy theories, you're still all typical of the world's mindset that the one true God does in fact exist and He is worthy or ALL praise and worship and any other form of praise and worship is evil to the core and in fact a form of satanism.
You all are still "asleep" in that sense along with the majority of the world.
That is why Jesus Himself said the road to eternal life was narrow and few will find it.
His words are always true!
Quoting: daughteroftheking No, that's just your egoic mind being 'offended' and feeling insecure that other people in this Universe do not believe and worship at you do. You 'wake up' honey - this existence does not revolve around your personal, chosen beliefs just because you want it to be so... It could be that some have not read the article. Headline is: A modern version of Norse paganism has been gaining popularity in recent years as followers see the stories as metaphors for life not worship of the gods This is a celebration of their culture, which I fully support. From the article: “I don’t believe anyone believes in a one-eyed man who is riding about on a horse with eight feet,” said Hilmar Örn Hilmarsson, high priest of Ásatrúarfélagið, an association that promotes faith in the Norse gods. “We see the stories as poetic metaphors and a manifestation of the forces of nature and human psychology.” This is respecting the roots of their culture and what motivated them to be who they are then and now. I am a Christian and am not offput nor offended by the building of this temple. They could not have been clearer on what their intentions are. I just don't think people are actually reading the article and are just responding to the thread title. Oh I read the article alright, and I stand by what I said. If you were close to the Lord, you would see the error in all of this. Celebrating ones roots, if the roots are bad, isn't a good thing......spiritually speaking. And, it's not that "i'm" offended, or "you're" not offended, it's about what the ALMIGHTY CREATOR thinks and if HE is offended.........cause that's all that matters! No, I do not accept your thinking that unless I agree that this is a spit in the face of Christ then I am not close to the Lord. I no more find this wrong than I do Native Americans who celebrate their heritage and adhere to "old ways" yet go to church every Sunday. The builders of the temple are very clear on their intent. They are very clear in terms of not worshipping pagan gods. The only thing I agree with in your statement is that what matters is what God thinks. Whatever you think my relationship to the Lord is, whatever you think about how this offends you, does not matter in the least. Ultimately that is between me and God and not me and you. It is also not up to you nor I to determine whether or not their "roots" are bad. That judgment, again, is not up to you. You are certainly free to comment on it, but its value is in the eye of the beholder.
