Paganistically spiritual christianity,.. is there such a thing?

[Chessie]

Hi all,
Once again I am being guided, please bear with me.....

I have studied in all aspects (and I do mean all) of the majority of
belief systems to the point where it is no longer on purpose and I no
longer need to search. Rather, it is now the reverse...I find myself
being lead to and/or confronted by individuals as well as groups who
for the most part seem to now be where I was a very long time ago. I
am a very simple and humble soul whos' intentions are always well
meant towards everyone who graces me with their presence, when asked
questions I give answers as best I can according to the divine
guidance I am given to meet the need. So why am I here as a member of
a pagan message group? Well sometimes I know the answers, and this is
one of those times when I am still waiting...meanwhile please allow me
to be your "cheap entertainment" at least for the moment.


Of all the belief systems out there (using faith in God and Jesus as
the standard), I have found that pagans are very simililar to
spiritualists who believe in God and know that Jesus is the only way
to the father. I liken them to sitting in the same church just in a
different pew. As though a gazillion years ago the pagans were the
original 'christians' because of so many subtle similarities that I
have picked up on.

For example; "Though shalt have no other gods before me". When Moses
went to the mountain, during that time the people became impatient
while waiting for him to return....they created idols and began
worshipping a variety of gods. Just as children disobey their
parents, the people disoybeyed God (the father). God (the supreme
being in all things also known as the greatest scientist ever) had
good reason for that commandment....just like any parent, he knew his
children weren't mature enough yet to understand the reason for his
commandment(s) and had hoped they would show respect and faith for
their father in upholding the laws.
Ok so by the time Moses came back, the people had mixed emotions and
beliefs....some people decided that other gods and idols were real and
continued in that direction, while others held true to our fathers
rules. So why the split? (this is where it gets interesting)

People at the time of Moses and that great mountain climb were
innocent and believed (much like today) for the most part in things
they could see, feel, touch, hear....anything beyond that was based on
faith and the inner soul. They didn't understand physics, harmonics,
mathmatics, ect. All they knew were the effects of such things. So
when they worshipped these idols and gods they were actually
manifesting or self-creating things without realizing it...in turn the
people of Moses thought (not understanding the underlying causes) and
felt that these gods and idols were very real and of their own
independant divinity. Well in a sense they are, but not of their own
making/creation with the intent to appear when called upon. What the
people of Moses (children of god) didn't understand were things like
electromagnetics (or Em) energy and how it can be manifested and
manipulated from within by using the (God given) life force energy we
each posess, or how harmonics works and the extreme power created when
combining words with speech/sound/music....the little details that God
knew his children weren't ready to learn (or perhaps were part of the
tree of knowledge that had been denied them because of Eves major no-
no...who knows for sure). At the risk of throwing everyone for a
loop...lets toss the devil in there, do you suppose he enjoyed
watching Gods children misbehave, do you think maybe he decided to
capitalize on it? Sure he did, which is where we get the satanic
extension of this scenario, but thats' another subject and we don't
need to go there, at least not right now. Now then, for the most part
the people were split but they still kept with certain rituals and
ceremonies in a similar way.....God smiled down upon those who made
sacrifices and gave burnt offerings to him, and those who chose the
path of 'paganism' knew or felt that this was a proper way to commune
with their gods and goddesses as well (why not, it worked with
God...right?) And showing respect and honoring God in the form of
celebrations on special occasions, burning of incense, prayer, ect.,
for all he had blessed them with also became a proper way of thanking
and acknowledging the deities in the form of sabbats, rituals, ect. I
see the similarities between these two, and over time the pagan and
god-fearing have both evolved into numerous sub-catagories amongst
themselves. Christ followers became, christians, jews, catholics,
ect., while pagans became wiccans, druids, white witches, solitairies,
ect.

And until recent years, all have become so evolved and morphed into
such a diversity that the plot has been lost entirely. It has only
been since the most recent years and the grace of God that we are all
wanting to 'return home' so to speak. The bottom line it would seem
for most that I'm aware of is to return home, whether it be literally
in a physical sense or in a deep inner spiritual sense.....we all have
had a spark ignited that is calling us to 'return'. And in doing so
we have started asking ourselves deep down..."return to what???" Well
folks, I'm not real smart but with the guidance I have been blessed
with, it would seem it is God who loves all of his children......the
home we are recieving the call to return to.

Hmmm, so where and what is this that we are returning to? It is God
true church that we are being guided to....the one place we can all
be assured gives us a direct-connect with the all mighty?? It is
based on an individual 'one-on-one' relationship with God on a
collective level so each of us may have our own uniquely intimate
relationship with the father...knowing that we are all on the same
level with him in a unified way. So how do we find this church?

Here are your clues......
"Your body is a temple (church) unto the Lord"
"Lift the stone and you shall find me, cleave the wood and I am
there".
"Life force energy"



Thats' my story and I'm sticking to it.........



Here are a couple of questions I thought I'd answer for everyone who
might want to ask me.

Q. How do I know what I'm talking about?
A. I don't necessarily know, but then having blind faith in God has
never let me down so...

Q. Am I a practicing pagan?
A. I am an independant who incorporates a variety of pagan beliefs
and rituals into
my relationship with God.

Q. Do I believe in the Goddess?
A. God is all things, the "I Am", omnipresent, the alpha and the
omega, negative and
positive, the beginning and the ending, the all and nothing, the
male and the female...God
and goddess. To recognize God as a duality and showing favor
towards one gender
of that duality over the other is predjudice and a lack of inner
spiritual balance of the
life force energy in ones self. ( I'm not perfect, this is
just my opinion....)


If anyone has any questions or would like to give their input, by all
means lets enjoy a good go-around on this one. Who knows, we may even
get some good target practice in on that can of worms thats' been
around for eons.
(all I ask is for enough time to step safely away from that can before
the shooting begins)
