Paganism: No Calls Required

Some people are telling others they must “hear a call” before they can be involved with anything Pagan. Such calls were uncommon in ancient times and they’re not the norm today. Those who promote these ideas are harming others and our spiritual movements.

[Calypso Jones]

Satan is the father of any religion that takes you from the One True God. That is Satan's plan. he wants as many of God's creation with him in hell for eternity. He hates you that much. ACtually, he hates God, but he can't get to God, so he goes for His creation.

That's not the bizarre part ,Prog Pat. It's all there in God's word if you'd bother to open it. The Bizarre part is that so many people gladly go along with Satan's plan.

You have to understand that the christians, when they killed off or forcibly con-verted people, they called anything not fitting their mold of proper christianity as being of Satan.

 

[Calypso Jones]

Bodee. You know that did not happen as much as it happened TO christians.

 

[Calypso Jones]

Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world….Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world. 1 John 4:1-3

The term “cult” is typically used by the secular media to describe religious or semi-religious groups whose members are controlled in almost every single respect by a single individual. Visions of Waco, Texas or the Jonestown Massacre flash before our eyes. However, groups which claim to be in harmony with Christianity but deny foundational Christian doctrines — such as the Trinity, or the unique deity of Jesus Christ — are cults or false religions in a theological sense. We are commanded as believers to “try” every spirit, prove all things against what the Word of God tells us. If it does n0t line up, do not just walk away, run. Paul also warns in 2 Thessalonians 2:3 to let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day (the day of the Lord’s return) will not come unless the falling away comes first. This would suggest that there will be many who will be deceived before Christ’s return.

Spiritual Counterfeits: False Religions​

Satan, the great deceiver himself, loves religion. Satan, by acting as an angel of light, has tried to devise a spiritual counterfeit for all of God’s real workings. One of Satan’s favorite frauds is to have a false religion “preach a counterfeit gospel.” Satan loves religion and has many people practicing false ones all around the world. Many of them even mention the name of Jesus. Satan does not mind even a little truth mixed into his false religions as long as The Truth (Jesus), is not taught. In fact, most counterfeit religions have a thread of truth running through them with the devil’s lies woven around it. Otherwise Satan could not ensnare people into them. Satan even takes man’s craving for the supernatural and creates religions that perform supernatural feats.

For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. Matthew 24:24

“Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:” 2 Thessalonians 2:9-11​

You don't need an invitation to worship in a "paganistic" manner. The majority of humans are pagans when they reject the creator and worship the created.......as they make many things their god(s). Power, Money, Fame, Accolade...........

"Professing themselves to be wise.........they became fools". -- Romans 1:22 You don't have to be a rocket scientist to become a pagan.

"Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or likeness of anything that is in heaven above (..i.e., astrology, zodic signs...etc., simply look to the far east with the people living their lives based upon the changing seasons, though the use of animals real and imagined, monkey's, dragon's, etc), or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water beneath (Greek mythology)." -- Ex. 20:4

But the most common paganistic practice is the worship of MONEY.......money in itself is nothing but a tool but when its abused, just as any tool can be abused .......it becomes the ROOT of ALL EVILS. Its the love of money that becomes the paganistic "graven image".

Take for example when the wealthy young man asked Jesus what he must do to find salvation and eternal life, and the Christ said, "Give to the poor......." He did not say GIVE ALL YOU HAVE but to simply share in the blessings that God has bestowed upon you. The wealthy ruler declared that he had kept all the commandments and Jesus answered, "If thou will be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, AND GIVE TO THE POOR (you don't have to give all......you simply give with a willing heart). The young ruler had much and walked away, not wanting to share in that which God had bestowed upon him. -- Matt. 19:21-22

If 10% is good enough for God.......its good enough for all men. Another paganistic ritual is the supposed modern progressive tax system (the politicians abuse this system to purchase votes and power by targeting and taxing the most productive elements in our society.....in essence its nothing but a wealth redistribution scam that far exceeds the fair tax presented by God to Biblical Isarel ......10% tithe.

Ask yourself............who wants to tax everyone to hell and back, and you will find your pagans.

"For the love of money is the root of all evil......which some coveted after, they have erred from the faith and pierced themselves through with many sorrows." -- 1 Tim. 6:10

Those who arent begotten by the Spirit of God are by default children of Satan. Paganism is one way you may serve your father

Unamerican? You mean like Article Four, Section Four, Clause One of the US Constitution? The United States shall "guarantee" to "every" state in this Union a REPUBLICAN FORM OF GOVERNMENT. Not a Marxist Government, Not a Socialist Government, not a Democracy..........but Republican Representation. Simply look at what your party represents.....MOB RULE.......you burned and killed all through the last administration........and then charged insurrection for one days freedom of speech and Assembly on Jan. 6th......with only person hurt a Trump Supporter killed by the DC police.

Who wants or need people like you and mob rule?

You as a progressive are the quint essential UNAMERICAN, you simply want to redefine history. The US owes a great deal to progressive politics. The Federal Reserve, World War 1, Jim Crow laws at the federal level (Woodrow Wilson) The Great depression that lasted an entire decade under the rule of progressive politician's, WW 2, (King Roosevelt and his court packing attempts...with his new Communist Deal......where the Federal Government caused a market correction to last a decade because Sam struck his nose up the free market's ass).......then of course we have Korea (Truman).....Viet Nam (Kennedy/Johnson)......then the war on terror by supposed holy men as defined by Mr. Peanut (Carter) who helped empower our modern day terrorist nations with US AID...........then of course you have Slick Willy and the 911 attacks all invoked by PROGRESSIVE politicians............Both the Bushes (Rhinos), Clinton/Gore ........... who gave us Mexican Products to replace American Products with NAFTA......reducing the American Labor Force.......and then the free trade deals with CHINA, the rest is history.......recent history. What did the US get in return for all the lop sided trade deals? The WUFLU.

Yeah.........thanks progressives.

Good fucking god! You can't be serious. The constitution is not referring to the Republican Party. It is the form of government
