Come on now, Christians/Hebrews/Muslims/etc. all have to deal with scrutiny and develop apologetic defenses of their beliefs for those skeptical inquirers. You aren't above having to answer these questions just because you are a religious minority. |

God is largely dormant in this maya (world illusion), in the minds of men. Upon creating the physical body, the Goddess goes to sleep until awakened which is relatively rare, as is true realization. |

Quoting: syncro Christians were always meant to be persecuted and it was through their martyrdom that the faith was able to spread throughout the Levant and pagan Rome. Christians were always told that they would go through persecution and would be blessed for persevering unto the end. Pagans and witches don't seem to have this same prophetic assurance regarding their faith. Also, pointing it back to Christians or any other faith doesn't take away the questions directed to pagans/witches/Wiccans/etc. They obviously believe in gods/goddesses/spirits/etc. so it still makes sense that the beings have some explaining to do for their followers regarding the questions originally posted here. |

To be blessed for persevering through persecution for your faith cannot belong only to Christianity, as neither can the law of sowing and reaping. These are not different questions for Christians and those of other faiths. Divinity is the same in the human system and in nature. The minds of men label them and differentiate. If one who worships differently, and also professes and acts in compassion working for the peace and welfare of beings, then Christ is in them, whereas for one who calls themself Christian but is cruel and oppressive, is Christ in them? Therefore it is not about names and labels as much as qualities. Last Edited by syncro on 04/03/2020 09:45 PM |
