"Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead be filled with
the Spirit" (Ephesians 5:18). carlbanksFeb 7, 2004, 5:01pm

Ihnk, religions aren't things to faithfully follow, they are more like a
potpourri of rules that people can pick and choose from to back up what ever current personal beliefs need backing up or short comings that need filling in. Think people should be nicer to each other? Quote from a book rather than forming your own ideas! Don't like a current political trend? Interpret a quote to prove the trend is wrong! Got a bunch of miss-placed hate you want to target at a group? Don't worry, apparently so does god!! Want to go to war? Yep! It works in all cases. Just be careful to never actually read and follow ALL the rules, because that may inconvenience your life and make you realize that most of the rules are utter out of touch draconian gobshite.

Baro you are wrong, the bible is something you are supposed to follow
faithfully. And Christianity isn't a religion, it's a fellowship with God. So I offer you a chance to find eternal life. Not on this earth but in Heaven. If I'm wrong, I die, if your wrong, Goodbye. [View Quote] bowenFeb 7, 2004, 7:45pm

It's a cult then, according to you. Wicca is a fellowship with the
devil and the mother goddess. ihnkFeb 7, 2004, 8:49pm

Sounds like a twisted, convoluted misguided out of context theory by someone
who selectively studied the subject from the outside in rather than from the inside out like some of the rest of us have done. You did spend a good amount of time studying the subject and the people who practice it before making that blanket statement, didn't you? [View Quote] brockFeb 8, 2004, 12:07am
Right on!

It's ok Carl : )
I've already spoken to one person at the wine party. But saying it here in hopes that everyone in AW knows Christ as their Lord and Savior. And if they don't, I invite them to the road to salvation. It is a life changing, soul saving experience. : ) [View Quote] ferruccioFeb 8, 2004, 5:29am
maybe it scares the hell out of you because under *its* rules, you must have
done something wrong ^,^ [View Quote] anarkissedFeb 8, 2004, 5:40am
Wicca is a modern incarnation of an ancient european nature based religion.
Devil is a Christian word, it doesn't apply. [View Quote] > > It's a cult then, according to you. Wicca is a fellowship with the > devil and the mother goddess. > carlbanksFeb 8, 2004, 9:06am
Among the posters who come here and speak against it, I hope a seed will
be planted in someone's heart. [View Quote] sweetsFeb 8, 2004, 4:59pm
Wicca is NOT a fellowship with any devil. The devil is a Christian myth.
Wicca is a fellowship with the earth. Father Air, Mother Earth. Please get that right. We Wiccans have but one rule 'Harm no one, do what you will'. Sounds easy? ....It is not Devil worship...It is a religion honouring love of the earth and fellow man...Kind of like what your Jesus was talking about, isn't it? sweets bowenFeb 8, 2004, 5:11pm

The Lady, I've never been to any "wine parties/grape stomp parties" in
AW before. While I *am* a Catholic and I *don't* drink alcohol, I don't think that the AW newsgroups are the proper place to talk about your religious views or to try and push your beliefs onto someone else (whether you were trying to do it purposely or not). There are plenty of other newsgroups, forums, message boards, Web sites, and blogs about religion. I suggest you take the discussion there instead.

Yes I think many people get confused with Christianity calling Wicca
devil worship. It has to be explained carefully it seems... Wiccans do not believe in the devil. And this is not what Christianity is trying to say when it calls Wicca devil worship! And neither should it be taken in a condemning context. Look at it from the point of view of the Cristian belief for a second. Since Christianity says wicca's gods are false, then worshipping one of Wicca's gods is worshipping the devil - from the Christian point of view. Now anyone who tries to call Wiccans evil because of this is wrong. From Christianity's point of view, Wiccans are *misled* and are actually worshipping the devil, albeit with the best of intentions. A lot of people, Christians and Wiccans, twist this round the wrong way ("Wiccans are evil!" "Christians are persecuting us!") which can only be harmful. At our Christian youth group we were taught about Wicca. We were *not* told that it is evil. We were told about the Christian point of view - that Wicca's gods must be false. We were also told about how Lucifer (the devil) used to be the angel of light - and thus he can create pretty lightshows and make himself seem like a god. We were told of ex-Wiccans now Christians who had listened to the Christian point of view and thought about it seriously. And the goal was not to tell us that Wicca is evil, but to tell us the REAL Christian belief, that Wiccans have been misled by Lucifer. So sweets, from your "Kind of like what your Jesus was talking about, isn't it?" you obviously seem very hurt. I just want to set the record straight about what Christianity is supposed to be saying. "Devil worship" should not be used to say that Wicca is evil, and people that persecute ANY religion are wrong in doing so. Christianity says that Wiccans are being misled by Lucifer, and it does not, and should not, say any more than that. It also annoys me when I see the argument that "Wiccans do not believe in the devil therefore calling Wicca devil worship cannot be true", for one of two reasons. Either a Wiccan has not properly examined the Christian point of view, or a Christian has not properly studied the Christian point of view. Rossyboy [View Quote] |
