I do mundane astrology of the nations to try and determine just how close we are to this nuclear war which is also the day of the rapture. Check out my admittedly speculative article regarding the year 2010 on this.
 Quoting: VAN HELSING 394628

this is called divination. the bible says ye must not do that. so ye've damned yerself by yer own holy book. not a good start to convincing people ye are right ye know.

instead of trying to foresee the future, why don't ye focus on what ye are doing today? if ye spend so much time on what will happen later ye have no time to live the moment that is now. surely there is a bit of land that ye could love and care for. i promise ye, if ye care for the land it will give back to ye and it will not compromise yer religious beliefs.

van helsing. please explain this:

"Stand now with your enchantments and the multitude of your sorceries, in which you have labored from your youth - perhaps you will be able to profit, perhaps you will prevail. You are wearied in the multitude of your counsels; Let now the astrologers, the stargazers, and the monthly prognosticators stand up and save you from what shall come upon you. Behold, they shall be as stubble, the fire shall burn them; they shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame. " (Isaiah 47:12-14)

true, it is a cut and paste which i don't like doing, but an explanation is in order i think.

I will answer Ross. EVERY time there is a prohibition against prognostication,it is because the prognosticators were in pagan cultures doing DIVINATION which is getting info about the future from spirit(s) and not prophesying by way of thr Holy Spirits.


One scripture says "do not be DISMAYED" at the signs in the heavens. There were magic ceremonies connected with star divinities in these cultures and this was prohibited.



I am not saying"thus saith the Lord"; I am observing careful celestial symbolism and looking for PROXIMATE signs of the Lord's Second Coming. THE WORDS OF JESUS HIMSELF indicate there would be these signs. The MAGI were astrologers and they found Jesus and worshipped him. Jesus was clearly indicating that there would be DISCERNIBLE,INTELLIGIBLE signs that would indicate His Second Coming.


JESUS,THE MAGI,DANIEL,THE PSALMIST,MOSES(Genesis author)...I AM IN GOOD COMPANY IN THIS BELIEF.

so let me see if i understand ye. ye are saying that the biblical prohibition against astrology is purely because of the use of "magic" and spirits and not because the stars and heavenly bodies were used. is that a correct assessment?

let me assume for a moment that this is correct, i'm sure ye will correct me if i've misunderstood. if this is the case then it appears on the surface that yer railing against wicca, witches and pagans is because of the use of magic and spirits. if that is correct then it would logically follow that ye have no problem with a wiccan, witch or pagan that does not use magic or spirits. is this correct?

BTW that word dismayed ,in the hebrew, means "prostrate". Do not prostrate yourself before these celestial divinities. Idolatry was the issue.



The stars are not intrinsically evil or unclean and the Bible clearly indicates there is a LANGUAGE of the stars. if there wasn't, how could the MAGI have found Jesus ?


astronomers like Mark Kidger,Ernest Martin,David Hughes, and Mark Kidger and stronomers since kepler's time have anchored the PROXIMATE time of Jesus nativity. They are scientists but acknowledge that the Magi were using ASTROLOGICAL criteria,star names and constellations,transits and eclipses to find Jesus. The astrology cuts through the endless debates about chronologies,calendrical changes,the death of Herod which is a lynchpin of determing when Christ was born.



get the DVD " The star of Bethlehem" by Larsen, who is a devout Christian and who is using precisely the same techniques i am.



I saw an eclipse chart in '01 and sent out an e-mail alert about among other malevolent events echoing the astrological configurations of Pearl Harbor. 5 weeks later the towers went down in NYC. i posted a GLP thread about August being "hell month" and it has been. We are heading toward a clash in Iran and had bad blood with the Russians over Georgia that gorbachev and others likened to the almost nuclear war we had with the Russians in '62 and '73. I said there would be WAR issues this August and war issues there were.BIG TIME. The shattering of the status quo with Russia and the moving of 5 aircraft carrier battle groups to the Mideast in preparation for Iran took place right on the red zones the astrology indicated. it stands vindicated as a true sacred symbolic language, ignorant opposition to it notwithstanding. my interest is in the build-up to the events of Ezekial 38 & 39 and the second coming. it IS beginning.



I am not talking to familar spirits,or using a ouija board,or pendulum. I am using the techniques that astronomers who have NO religious agenda believed the Magi used. The movement of the stars against the sky which is loaded with linguistic symbolism. I am standing SQUARELY on Biblical ground in doing this and I have proven it on another thread where the Christians challenged me and called down all kinds of curses. I annihilated their obscurantist arguments using the Bible as my guide.

Your assessment is correct about astrology. It is good until the spiritism is involved. Some astrologers who look more to the stars than the Holy Spirit and Jesus' guidance in prayer are idolaters. that's a separate issue.



Frankly,every pagan,neo-pagan or wiccan i have ever met are involved with spirit(s) at some level. THAT is the big issue yes.

 Quoting: VAN HELSING 394628

see, we've made progress. let's see if we can go a bit further and define the areas both that we can see eye to eye on and those that we must write off as incompatible.

as a pagan i talk with the creator every day. all day. and the creator talks back to me. i don't call the creator god. do ye have a problem with my creator? and i say that with no intentions of offending. i'm truly curious.

i talk to plants and the earth too. and they talk back to me. not in english. more in images. the creator tells me this is valid because they are simply voicing a small portion of the life energy. do ye find this evil? do ye think it involves spirit(s)?

see, when i was a kid watching the speaking in tongues in church i always wondered... who was talking? the preacher said it was the holy spirit. could it be that the creator and the plants and animals that talk to me are also of what ye call the holy spirit?

as for worshiping jesus as the king of kings - there are no kings in my life. the words of the christ are a no brainer with their wisdom. kings and rulers are of man, and as a simple pagan i am of the earth. i can agree with and live in accordance with the words of the christ without making him royalty, can i not? just my opinion and i am curious what ye as a pentecostal see in this matter.

Lets compare shall we..


Compare Van Helsing HATE Filled, Angry, Condemning, Judgemental, Bitter Christianity...

Compare that too Jesus' very own words as recorded in the book of Matthew. The True Jesus that speaks to millions of pure at heart Christians... many of which I call my brothers and sisters..


The is the real Jesus of the New Testestment...

Jesus of Nazareth - Matthew's House



Jesus of Nazareth - Teaching in the Temple



Jesus of Nazareth - Meeting Barabbas



Jesus of Nazareth - Love Your Enemies



This was the True Jesus...


Not Van Helsing's demonic vomit and filth.




So why am I not Christian instead of Pagan and Witch..


Because I found Jesus' Father hiding out in the Grove of Great Mother Goddess having Mary Mother of Jesus and Mary 1st Apostile of Jesus was there too!! :)

Jesus doesnt force himself on anybody.Its a free will choice.And he didnt teach religion either,he taught personal relationship with God.And He said that religion would kill you like it did him.(John 16:2)

Exactly!

That is why Christianity and Islam (Both Crusader Religions, meaning Covert by the sword or die) thrust the entire known world into "The Dark Ages" when they came onto the scene.

They exterminated the Intense Knowledge of the Ancient World.

Such as the Library of Alexanderia in Egypt. The Library we are told by Greek and Roman historians contiain scrolls and books going back to the beginning of time.

Books on biology, surgery. Engineering Scrolls telling how the Great Cities of the Ancient Past where built by whom and what for. There were books on advanced math and physics.. and ancient books of cultures past. It was also said that the library contained over 500,000 such books and scrolls. Alexandria was the Heart of Learning in the Ancient World.


The Library was saked and Burned to the Ground by Christians in 600ad. The Librarians begged begged the Christians not to do this. They were dragged into the Churches and their flesh flayed off with sea shells on the High Christian Alters.

The Christian in charge of the burning of Alexandria. A Bishop was made a Saint! For "Destroying Heathen Knowledge"

Historians today state that if we had the knowledge of Alexandria chances are we'd be living on colonized worlds in deep space.

But because of the Christians of that time. Here we are stuck on the Earth and very very close to wiping out Humanity with nuclear warheads..

The Christians and Islam plunged the World into a Dark Agea which we have yet to recover from.

Why did they do it??? Well simple to CONTROL YOU!

Oh and if you don't listen to them.. Your going to hell and Satan will get you..

Nightshade 09



Both the christians and muslims executed as many magi and their followers as they could get their hands on. Since the priesthood was inherited through descent, these programs wiped out entire genetic lineages.

How this relates to the "God gene" recently discovered by geneticists is unknown, but it might have been a way to permanently eliminate from humanity those with the drive and capability to understand higher things. Being a shaman or magus is related directly to the ability to repidly achieve trance state. If you eliminate the capability of receiving higher information from the population, then you corner the market. It was all about POWER which is exactly the last thing that spirituality should be about.

Again,I would say don't take my word for it,get larsen's DVD "THE STAR OF BETHLEHEM" (circa 2006). The story of the Magi is a wonderful,historically verifiable testimony to how close the temporal events in the gospels like the time of Herod's death etc., are written in the record of the stars. And their techniques are the same I use now.No spirits. No divination. Star charts. An ephemeris. and celestial symbolism probably handed down through the sons of Adam. Josephus records that the original astrological language, according to the semitic tradition at the time of Jesus,was recorded by Seth,the Biblical patriarch.



It gets really fascinating when you get into tracking comet Chiron and speculating if it was the Star of Bethlehem. Any of you pagan astrologers know why I am tracking Chiron with its rather unique provenance and symbolism. When its orbit is worked back to circa 4-5 B.C.; it matches fairly close to where the Chinese recorded a "broom star" or comet for that year. This is speculation.

well ROSS,it's all a bit diffuse for me. I see the specific claim that Jesus has for our loyalty and worship. He's the One king there is. No other. The gospels are clear about that.


If nature talks to you symbolically,you're more of what ? a taoist ? But any spirit other than the Holy Spirit and you are on dangerous ground. I have seen their work. I am their sworn enemy. I have heard them howl and scream when we cast them out. They start in very benign ways and escalate their program.


Now if you are talking about generic "inspiration" through the beauty and aesthetic harmony of nature, maybe you're marching to the sound of a different drummer like Thoreau,who though every manner of heretic tries to claim him for their own, acknowledged the kingship and pre-eminence of Christ in one of His letters. But I think Thoreau was a brother. he had a particular aunt who was concerned for his soul and on his deathbed she visited and asked if he was right with God and had made his peace with him and Thoreau answered," I was not aware that we ever quarreled". You don't need church busybodies to have Jesus in your life,or go to church for that matter; but if Nature usurps the pre-eminence of Christ Jesus as the SAvior,Messiah and king...it's idolatry. i'll spare you achain of scriptures for that assertion.

ok. we're not so far apart then. the big difference is yer using of the word king. i have no king. i am a free man. and it is a possibility that the "spirit" that talks to me is the holy spirit ye put so much stock in. at least that's what i think ye've said. btw, i've always thought taoists were pagans.

unless i miss my guess, it sounds like ye have no problem with pagans.

One group who seem to fit the mould of Cornelius in Book of Acts is the Hopi. many have converted to christianity because they recognize that he is the "Kwahu' or "Nitintachova" (sp. ?) of their prophecies. They see a seemless connection. LIKE THE MAGI,THE HOPI CONNECTED WITH A PURE STREAM OF MESSIANIC GNOSIS AND PROPHECY FROM EXTRA-JUDEO_CHRISTIAN SOURCES.THEY ARE SO EXPECTANT OF THE NEARNESS OF THE END AND THE COMING OF THE MESSIAH THEY WENT TO THE UNITED NATIONS TO TESTIFY OF THIS.( Thomas Banyaca/ I forget.)



And as i mentioned, the winter solstice ceremonies have a remarkable connection to symbolism in Revelation AND the astrology of our time directly connects with this Hopi gnosis. I did a cable tv show on this.

Again EXACTLY...

Christianity for the past two thousand years has been an Religion.


"Woe to you, Scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites!"




You let middle men, Tell what the Creator requires of you. Instead of opening your heart .. and simply listening.. The Creator speaks to you constantly in fact its shouting out its lungs to you right now in nature..

But you do not hear... instead you let them led you.. and put themselves in front of your Creator and you..


Humanity was meant to have a DIRECT PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP with God. Not preacher men or robed old men of the grave...


When I need God.. I simply walk out there. An still myself and open heart... An what music I hear.. often leads me to dance naked in the moonlight and leap the flames :)

ROSS. I worship Jesus as my King. He made me. he gave me everything including my beautiful wife and every good thing in my life. I love him. I would gladly fight or die for him.


I am MORE free in His service. I don't feel enslaved. I feel liberated. He at times gives me power to deliver people from the real enemy. I stopped a shamanistic fit in a girl mid-flight through the name of Jesus.I ahve kicked evil spirits out of people. I've had answers to prayer that are wonderful. God IS an interventioniist . This i know. I have learned this over time. I see healings( documented btw,some of them). He has GIVEN me more than anything I could reciprocate with. I bow before no man,no churchman or otherwise. No pope. The only authority I recognize is the indwelling Spirit of God in a man.That's what John said in his letter,' ye need not that any man teach you,the holy Spirit will teach you all things.". But that doesn't mean we can just invent our own religion. there is a discrete path the real ecclesia have walked these past 2000 years.



so. I don't know. the older I get the more I love Jesus,His Word and I get freer and more liberated in His service than in any other mode of existence. he empowers me at times to do wonderful things and gives abundant signs of His presence and anointing.

As a Pagan and Witch Priest..

I do not 'teach or preach' at those that come to me.. I simply show them a way for them to meet the Goddess and God on their own. An once there. The conversation is up to their Goddess/God and themselves.

Its reversed in current day Christianity.. You lett the Preachers and Priests inter pt Gods voice and then instruct you how to lead your lives. Along the way that Preacher and Priest very very often give you a misinterpretation.... like our friend Van Helsing here..

You are all trapped that BOOK or that Priest or that Preacher... has cut you off the creators voice.. and you are truly lost with out it.. An its why your churches now become empty..

While my groves, wiccan, circles, Pagan hearths of filling with the brim.. so much so these days.. we have rent out city parks to accomidate them all.. LOL

 Quoting: VAN HELSING 394628

and this my friends is where i would like to see all of us go. i fought with van helsing for days and all i got for my efforts was more of a fight. in the last two days i have tried to find common ground and it appears to me that i have found some. will i become a pentecostal christian? the chances of that are slim to none. i am a pagan and much too simple to have any interest in trying to sort through the complexities of pentecostal life. i believe that if we can find common ground we can live together in peace.

ye will notice that the more i asked van helsing what he thought in regards to my beliefs the more he was willing to allow me to be what i am. the more i attacked him the less he was willing to be open. it's obvious he will never accept spirits of any kind except what he regards as the holy spirit. it's also obvious if we allow him the courtesy we all want he will much more willing to talk.

does that ignore the burning times? not a chance. if we cannot find common ground to work from i suspect the burning times will come again. the fundamentalists from any perspective will push for it simply because they feel threatened. it does not matter if there is a threat or not, if they believe there is the burning will begin.

i am not a witch. not wiccan. if ye are then i personally have no problem with ye. being either one does not make what the christ taught evil, and it does not make ye evil that i can see. what the christ taught was a good thing. what the christian church did with it was evil. name calling leads to name calling leads to violence leads to more burning times. even if ye state explicitly that what the christ taught was good and wise, if ye include name calling with it ye will get an angry response. ye'd think as old as i am i'd not fall into that trap, but there ye go. i did.

i don't have any answers to make the christian and pagan world coexist peacefully. i'm not a wise man. but even i can see we need to do that.

IF you were a Christian (a real Christian) you would not have a HOLE in your heart and spirituality which you are filling with bits and pieces from here and there! Christ will fill that spiritual hole and make you a whole person!

As much as you profess your a Christian Van Helsing its becoming clear by the day that your just another lost soul!..

Nightshade 09




One group who seem to fit the mould of Cornelius in Book of Acts is the Hopi. many have converted to christianity because they recognize that he is the "Kwahu' or "Nitintachova" (sp. ?) of their prophecies. They see a seemless connection. LIKE THE MAGI,THE HOPI CONNECTED WITH A PURE STREAM OF MESSIANIC GNOSIS AND PROPHECY FROM EXTRA-JUDEO_CHRISTIAN SOURCES.THEY ARE SO EXPECTANT OF THE NEARNESS OF THE END AND THE COMING OF THE MESSIAH THEY WENT TO THE UNITED NATIONS TO TESTIFY OF THIS.( Thomas Banyaca/ I forget.)



And as i mentioned, the winter solstice ceremonies have a remarkable connection to symbolism in Revelation AND the astrology of our time directly connects with this Hopi gnosis. I did a cable tv show on this.

The Hopi are not gnostics.There is no connection with Hopi prophecy and Gnostics Once again, you do not know what you are talking about. Gnostics rewrote the sacred scriptures; the Hopi find that their prophecies resonate and reflect the prophecies IN THE BIBLE. Once again you have it EXACTLY BACKWARDS Nightshade. I will say this for you,you devil,you are consistent.

You see this as some great victory?

I don't. I see it as an example of lets say a Nazi willing to proclaim what National Socialism Party has done for him its wonders and joys its brought him.

Yet HIS is the ONLY TRUE WAY.


All others are sub humans in his eyes.


An that is why HIS brand of Christianity and Paganism will NEVER find common ground.

ROSS. I worship Jesus as my King. He made me. he gave me everything including my beautiful wife and every good thing in my life. I love him. I would gladly fight or die for him.


I am MORE free in His service. I don't feel enslaved. I feel liberated. He at times gives me power to deliver people from the real enemy. I stopped a shamanistic fit in a girl mid-flight through the name of Jesus.I ahve kicked evil spirits out of people. I've had answers to prayer that are wonderful. God IS an interventioniist . This i know. I have learned this over time. I see healings( documented btw,some of them). He has GIVEN me more than anything I could reciprocate with. I bow before no man,no churchman or otherwise. No pope. The only authority I recognize is the indwelling Spirit of God in a man.That's what John said in his letter,' ye need not that any man teach you,the holy Spirit will teach you all things.". But that doesn't mean we can just invent our own religion. there is a discrete path the real ecclesia have walked these past 2000 years.



so. I don't know. the older I get the more I love Jesus,His Word and I get freer and more liberated in His service than in any other mode of existence. he empowers me at times to do wonderful things and gives abundant signs of His presence and anointing.

and this my friends is where i would like to see all of us go. i fought with van helsing for days and all i got for my efforts was more of a fight. in the last two days i have tried to find common ground and it appears to me that i have found some. will i become a pentecostal christian? the chances of that are slim to none. i am a pagan and much too simple to have any interest in trying to sort through the complexities of pentecostal life. i believe that if we can find common ground we can live together in peace.

ye will notice that the more i asked van helsing what he thought in regards to my beliefs the more he was willing to allow me to be what i am. the more i attacked him the less he was willing to be open. it's obvious he will never accept spirits of any kind except what he regards as the holy spirit. it's also obvious if we allow him the courtesy we all want he will much more willing to talk.

does that ignore the burning times? not a chance. if we cannot find common ground to work from i suspect the burning times will come again. the fundamentalists from any perspective will push for it simply because they feel threatened. it does not matter if there is a threat or not, if they believe there is the burning will begin.

i am not a witch. not wiccan. if ye are then i personally have no problem with ye. being either one does not make what the christ taught evil, and it does not make ye evil that i can see. what the christ taught was a good thing. what the christian church did with it was evil. name calling leads to name calling leads to violence leads to more burning times. even if ye state explicitly that what the christ taught was good and wise, if ye include name calling with it ye will get an angry response. ye'd think as old as i am i'd not fall into that trap, but there ye go. i did.

i don't have any answers to make the christian and pagan world coexist peacefully. i'm not a wise man. but even i can see we need to do that.

Well, ROSS. YOU MISERABLE WRETCH.




NO- ONLY KIDDING. I am late and really have to go,but I read your last thread and you've spoken a word of wisdom in it which i will not deny. I will extend my hand in peace to you on that one. Blessed be...Blessed be the name of the Lord. God Bless. +++ Ed

not a great victory, no. a minor one at best. but it does give me hope that there can be peace between us. he has left room for there being a way or ways other than his being the only one. he relates everything to his beliefs and if he sees the possibility that a belief can be interpreted to agree with him then he makes that interpretation. does it change the original belief? of course not.

ye seem to be doing what ye are accusing him of doing nightshade. ye are saying it must be yer way or nothing. i am not like him or ye. he has left the indications that he does not understand what i am, but is willing to say that my ultimate destination is not his to say. he's willing to say we may be coming from and to the same place even though we see things differently.

i got the impression ye were willing to do the same for me. if that is incorrect let me know and we can try to find common ground. after all, he and paganism have already found common ground. unless of course ye are claiming to be the source of all that is true... which i've not heard from ye so far.

I was hoping there would be a Cornelius on here. Maybe it's Ross. A good pagan who does not deny Christ Jesus and who may have the ear of God in prayer. Hmm.

don't make me more than i am van. i'm way too simple to be given any special status. we can agree on many things, but we will also disagree on many things. we can agree that the words of the christ are a true and wise path. the rest of christianity we will have differences on. that's not a bad thing too be sure. i just don't want ye thinking ye've made me into something i'm not. i'm still a pagan. and i still talk to the creator daily. and plants. and animals.
