It is amazing to me that so many would come into an obviously Christian thread just to refute Christians. Now, while I know that this forum supports other spiritual leanings as well.
I have had my own discussion groups, my own forum and I was always amazed at those who came in to disrupt and put down Christians, their beliefs and Christianity.
I seldom, IF EVER, saw a Christian go into one of their new age, atheist, witchcraft, budhist or any other forum for that purpose.
Now, let's use a little wisdom and knowledge here. This has to mean that we know that the Lord will accomplish HIS work, and we leave it in HIS hands, they can receive or not receive, that is their choice.
Where SATAN, on the other hand is frightened and afraid that ONE person might become saved through our words, our teachings, our beliefs, and uses the disrupters, the distorters, and the unbelievers to accomplish HIS works. He HATES Christians, believers and their works and faith.

Bev,

You have invaded every thread that I started. All my threads are open to everyones opinions. You, SOC and Classy have all preached and ranted on the topics in my threads to the point that I asked "Isn't there some way to block a person from a thread".
You know this is true because you sarcastically responded at the time.
We all have the right to comment on any post placed in the R & S forums. If you don't want your opinion debated, don't post. It's that easy.
Peace

bev, so far i get the impression that the refuting is not directed at the "christians" but moreso towards the pseudochristians. pseudos are those that say and do things in jesus' name but are not of the "few" the root word of christian is christ and not paul or john or moses or any other contibutor to the "bible" that is the reason for so many other "religions" that claim a christian belief system. christianity is about christ or a little more simply put, "christianity is about jesus"

I am not going to answer anyone who calls a Christian woman a harpy, gee, and you talk about wolves in sheep's clothing.
Sail go on with your nonsense stuff, it does not line up with God's word, twist it as you might, stretch the word and try to fit it in, cut the word up and try to make it fit, is still not right. So go ahead with your new age garbledy gunk and call it the word, call it Jesus, it is now YOUR problem, and not gonna let you make it mine.

Bev the Spirit in me knows the Spirit in you, Classy, Angel, SOC and others. Do not let anything distract you from this truth. If you do not recognise the fruits of the Spirit in someones posts then accept that they do not know Jesus Christ and act accordingly. Do not let anybody deceive you with reasoning of waffle.

new age garbledy gunk
Now how in the WORLD would you call that being nicer? I happen to believe in Jesus the man and his teachings and at that day and age I'm willing to bet his teachings would have been seen as New Age Garbledy Gunk in alot of narrow minded peoples way of thinking.

Yes, Tahoma,,it was "new age" back then to think of this. The Jews didn't believe that Jesus was the Messiah. That is why they crucified him.
Please,,don't get upset

Tahoma she could have used words like evil or satanic.
New age = Work of the adversary.
Jesus teachings could been seen as revolutionary and in contrast to what the jewish church taught but never New Age G G since this group only exist to be used by the adversary in an attempt to negate Jesus and His work on earth. But surely you knew that being a believer yourself.

I've known more than a few good New Agers and more than a few bunghole Christians.
I express no religious preference for a potential mate nor no need to get any offspring baptized until they desire it.
I've given my life and fate to Jesus Christ because I've learned the hard way that without His guidance I'll end up in the Pit of Hell that I fell into following my marital break up.
I go to church multiple times a week because the people there typically don't have habits or traits that I find disturbing. Further, having joined since my mother's passing I find going to church is my way of staying connected to the living memory of her. Also, church is the perfect spot for my recovery and excercising concepts that enhance my well being.
I don't cotton to a literal interpretation of the Bible, nor does my pastor. God said things to different groups to hear through out time.
When people assume their brand of religion gets them into heaven, and other' s do not, I get bothered.
To paraphrase Jesus:
We are all here to love God and our fellows with all our heart.
Everything beyond that is immaterial.

"New Age" was a term coined from the Theosophical Society. A society based learning by notables that studied Tibetan Buddhism and Hinduism during the early part of the last century.
Some of these notables were learned Christians.
Alas,
It has astounded me the amount of ignorance either in religion, history or the power of discernment.
Please act respectfully.

No, self respecting Christian would touch new age religion with a ten foot pole, especially a learned one, learned maybe in their ability to recite the word, but not in their understanding of it.
New Age Religion
Is the New Age a religion? Like the more classical religions there would seem to be a number of beliefs associated with 'new age thinking' -- reincarnation, homeopathy, astrology, tarot, palmistry, crystals, angelic beings, chakras, dowsing, ley lines, radionics, precognition, channeling, reflexology, spiritual healing, Atlantis, levitation, rebirthing. The list could go on and on.
This is the creed of the New Age.
This is the definition posted by a new age group of believers. Many of these things are expressly forbidden in the Bible.

You show a great ignorance. Its a known fact that early Christians believed in reincarnation and many still do.
And many of these so called "New Age" are not new age at all.
I see very few Christians in these forums. I see people Thumping Scripture without any understanding of their content.
It is so easy to see for even a non-christian. it is so disrespectful to Christianity. Also, the jokes with reference to God. Blasphermous!!!!
Gee..... become a Christian!

My oh my,,,having a bad day?
Call yourself what you will. But don't put me in a catagory that you have picked for me.
I have never heard of reincarnation being an accepted part of Christianity.
Is it in the Bible? How about tha Greek Bible? Oh and lets not forget the Hebrew Bible.
Prove to me that it is there.
