I am not disagreeing, the founder and head of the Church is God Himself Christ. You don't deny God chose special men in the Old Covenant to lead the faithful. What happened in the New Covenant?
No one worships a Goddess.

Wicca is the modern revival of the ancient, indigenous, pre-Christian Goddess religions of Europe and the Middle East. It is very similar in its spiritual practices and principles to Native American spirituality, and to that of other indigenous peoples. Wicca is also referred to as Witchcraft, the Old Religion, and the Craft of the Wise. People who practice Wicca are called Wiccans, or Witches. (Male practitioners are also called Wiccans or Witches, never Warlocks.) Wicca is also the fastest growing religion in America. Wicca is a spiritual practice, rather than an abstract belief system. It has more in common with a spiritual practice such as yoga, which provides an individual with her/his own experience of the Sacred, than with Biblical religions, which are based upon faith or belief in a transcendent, male deity.
You just insulted me calling the true faith "a little cult" so don't correct me on being
My "agenda" at ATS is to share the messages from Heaven that souls might be saved.

who realizes who the true God is...
What? Women are the givers of life, colbe. And many people over the ages have revered women. 12,000+ years ago, the little carving of Venus was crafted by a person who revered the fertility of women.
I happen to have similar beliefs to LunaKat; the female is an equal and indispensable side of the divinity. Part of the problem with the "Christian" dogma is that they dismiss women as "lesser than." Christ did not.
He was a good person. And I'm not really sure why you started this thread if you were going to just ram dogma at people (which is not being a good person).

Hate to break it to you, but your church is a cult. Look up the definition.
Were all supposed to be educated here on ATS.

Well, as far as my view goes on it......
If a man can not have respect for women, he IS NOT A MAN.
(colbe....do you abuse women, or children, or both?)
wither it be sexually, physically, or emotionally.......ALL are abuseedit on 29-12-2011 by vogon42 because: (no reason given)

Hi autowrench,
My intention, I want you to be Catholic one day.
Jesus never said Churches, denomination or non-denomination. "Keys"
are a sign of authority, it's Scriptural.
Matthew 16:18-19
And I say to thee: That thou art Peter; and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. [19] And I will give to thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven. And whatsoever thou shalt bind upon earth, it shall be bound also in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose upon earth, it shall be loosed also in heaven.
Respectfully, colbe, can you show me chapter and verse where Jesus started, or founded a church? I believe it was Paul who started Christianity.

Your posts have been unkind, anti-Catholic. What am I suppose to
say to you?
a group or sect bound together by veneration of the same thing, person, ideal, etc.
1. a particular system of religious worship, especially with reference to its rites and ceremonies.
Really colbe, in all earnestness now:
Just like the mods give us warnings, applause, or messages on how to behave, I think believers can find encouragement, beauty, and strength in those private revelations. After all, even the choir has to hear the message sometimes.
What exactly is the point of all this when the only people who would ever even listen to this is the choir, so to speak?
Only people who already are firm believers will ever pay any attention whatsoever to these rambling sayings about what people need to do and all that nonsense, meaning just stuff people would already know anyway.
