Marlin: Somebody appropriates Jesus' name and deceives many: MAT 24:5 {For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.}MAR 13:6 {For many shall come in my name, saying, I am [Christ]; and shall deceive many.}LUK 21:8 And he said, {Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am [Christ]; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them.} Couple Jesus' prophesy with "Christian" practices that are Pagan, but superimpose the name of Jesus Christ. If Pagans did not appropriate Jesus' name, then what we have is a synthesis or a hybrid that has emerged with practices of the one, and a name from the other.
Re: [TruthTalk] PAGAN WOLF FAQ
Sorry to have to disagree with your estimate of your own ability, but the Bible says,'EVERY knee will bend, and confess that Jesus is Lord. I believe the Bible. I think that there is a high likelihood that you have placed too much trust in your own strength. I urge you to reconsider. Terry But I must disagree, On that day, should it ever occur, I will not hide. I will say that no matter how much fear or even awe (Who knows for sure how will one react to such kind of events?), I would stand, and even dare to lock my gaze with his. If I am to be judged, let me face my judge as I must, showing him the same courtesy as I would any opponent. IncrediMail - Email has finally evolved - Click Here

[TruthTalk] PAGAN WOLF FAQ
From: "Arsene Lupin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> JT: H!! Fanciful thinking TPW. So far as He is concerned the gods of the nations are as nothing. We can be sure that the day WILL occur because so far Bible prophecy has never failed. We are told how men who have not acted upon God's mercy WILL react in that day. John the beloved disciple (the one who at the last supper layed his head on Jesus breast) falls at His feet as one dead - So what makes you think you will be able to stand and lock eyes with such a One with hair white as snow, eyes a flame of fire, and a two edged sword coming from His mouth. It will be reckoning time - too late for I apologize or I am sorry. TPW: What makes me think I couldn't? If you knew someone was comming and was planning to hurt your family, your friends and all those you care about, one who would destroy all these things on the basis that I didn't bow down or they were not of the same faith, would you not stand up and fight? I wouldn't bow down. I would shout a warcry, a human warcy and run that tyrant through. Better dead fighting for your kin's freedom than an eternity of slavery. That is something not even your god could take that away from me. jt: I think there are some misconceptions TPW. My God does not promise anyone at all an eternity of slavery - where does that come from? He does promise that you will spend eternity with the one who you serve and there are just two Masters so it's either the Lord of Life or the Lord of Death; Jesus is the Lord of Life and all other gods are part of the other kingdom. TPW: I didn't start the fight, but I would try to end it. In the end, it's god who would lose. He destroys me, It's one less servant he doesn't have for eternity. He destroys me, I won't know what happened. I won't be around to have remorse. jt: God has already given his best for our sake. Yes you will be aware because you are primarily a spirit being. God is Spirit and originally man was created in His image, that is, until he fell into agreement with the wrong one and the image of God in him was marred. Spirits don't die. You might want to re-read the parable of Lazarus and the rich man, are you familiar with this parable? TPW: My apologies if that sounded grim. But who knows what will truly happen... jt: God is not willing that any should perish. He wants all to come to the knowledge of the truth so He has made it possible that we can know. If we don't make it we will only have ourselves to blame. Judy -- "Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer every man."

[TruthTalk] PAGAN WOLF FAQ
From: "Arsene Lupin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> JT: Who could make up our minds? Paganism? I don't think so. Jesus went to the cross for you and I to give us a choice. He said that if we have seen Him we have seen the Father, IOW the Father is just like Him and yes, we do have a measure of time right now to get things right. However, the Day of the Lord is coming and it will be a day of darkness rather than light. This is when He will literally put all enemies under his feet and I would not care to be on the wrong side in that day. This is when men will cry out for the mountains and rocks to fall on them as in Revelation 6:15-17. TPW: I am sorry if I made it sound like I was suggesting that Pagan ways would be the way for you. Such is not my intent. Just as I despise to be told what to believe, I wouldn't dare think about undoing your beliefs and replace them with my own. Besides a "Pagan evangelist" that's unheard of!

[TruthTalk] PAGAN WOLF FAQ
From: "Arsene Lupin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Marlin: What emerged as "Christianity" is actually paganism.

You see the pederasty was not dealt with and it is not talked about much anymore, will be the same as Michael Jackson who didn't deal with it 10yrs ago and now here we go again. God says that what is done in secret will be shouted from the housetops. TPW: How do I plan to have it stopped? Simple I will start within my own and vow never to repeat the past. I will focus within and erase my own hatreds first. I think it's a good place to start as any. I know this may sound ridiculous to some, but I believe one day there will be some peace between Pagans and Christians. I know, that sounds impossible to some. But stranger things have happened.

[TruthTalk] PAGAN WOLF FAQ
From: "Arsene Lupin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> JT: You say that paganism is so old, even older than Christianity and then refer to pagans being harrassed, tortured and killed by institutionalized religion Christianity included. Christianity wasn't institutionalized until 345 AD under Constantine. What was institutionalized in Europe before that? (you did say your religion was European didn't you?). A true believer does not flaunt themselves because love does not make a show but Christians want to give and share because this is the essence of our faith. Our God is love. ATST love isn't God. TPW: Before Christianity under Constatine we had our problems with Rome (But then who the heck didn't during that time period?). But the even the Romans were kinder in some respects as opposed to the rule that Constatine's endeavours brought. As for Christianity being younger than the original Paganism, depends how you see it. If you refer to the new testament then I have to say yes. If you refer to the OT, then I would have to say that we were there in Europe while other empires were being raised and we were there up north, way up there while your biblicals heroes were doing their thing way down south!! jt: Mesopotamia is the cradle of Civilization, at least that's what they taught me in Western Civilization and the way I understand it the Celts in England were originally pagan but it sounds like you are into some kind of Norse mythology. BTW are you involved in fantasy role playing games? I wrote: I've seen a lot; but I don't believe a true follower of God, even an immature one rejoices when even those he believes to be evil fall. Not if he has any fear of God at all in his heart because our scriptures say that God is not pleased with that. I haven't a clue who Torquemada is - why would anyone envy him? TPW: *Sigh* if only more Christians were like you, I wouldn't have to do HALF of the things I had to do. As for Torquemada, I am surprised you never heard of him. Still for your intellectual appetite I submit this bit of information, concerning this sinister character who makes both Paul Hill, Fred Phelps and even Pat Robertson look like kittens. Tomas de Torquemada, 142098, Spanish churchman and inquisitor. A Dominican, he became confessor to Ferdinand II and Isabella I and in 1483 was appointed inquisitor general of Castile and Aragón, charged with the centralization of the Spanish. He was largely instrumental in bringing about the expulsion of the Jews in 1492. His great authority was contested by colleagues and was diminished in some measure by the pope, but he remained preeminent until his death. Torquemada owes his reputation for cruelty to the harsh rules of procedure that he devised for the Inquisition and to the rigor with which he had them enforced I would also submit more on the Inquisition, but I have learned in the past that sometimes many modern christians have felt weak in the knees and were tremendously shaken to the point of being unable to pursue the discussion. I therefore will spare you. You may however want to research on it on your own time and see what it is precisely that I take part in avoiding. jt: Thanks for the history lesson TPW - actually I like history but what calls itself RCC Christianity will have a lot to answer for along with the British (my mother always says that about the British). I wrote: TPW are you saying that the pagans are strong, well adjusted, and full of valour while those serving the God of the Universe are sociopaths? TPW: What I am saying is we don't sweep our sociopaths under the rug and pretend they never were there. Paganism has blood on it's hands and we vow never to allow this sort of thing to happen again. jt: How do you plan to get it stopped? The RCC is still playing games with morality. You see the pederasty was not dealt with and it is not talked about much anymore, will be the same as Michael Jackson who didn't deal with it 10yrs ago and now here we go again. God says that what is done in secret will be shouted from the housetops. TPW: We know that our ancestors have done some horrible things (The vikings were not angels, raids and plundering are not nice things to do). What makes me shudder alot is many professing Christians know little or nothing about their church's history and even it's mistakes. Remember, the Church may be the bride of God, but it's not God now is it? Many pastors would avoid serious mistakes if they knew how the church grew and what NOT to do should they face a situation that they once faced in the past. jt: Actually it's the bride of Christ and possibly many pastors do not claim the history of the RCC/Episcopalean sector. No, the Church isn't God. God has given us a measure of time to get it together, it presently appears to be a bit of a mess but what do I know. Jesus is the builder and he says that the gates of hell will not prevail against his Church. Judy __

Re: [TruthTalk] PAGAN WOLF FAQ
JT: You say that paganism is so old, even older than Christianity and then refer to pagans being harrassed, tortured and killed by institutionalized religion Christianity included. Christianity wasn't institutionalized until 345 AD under Constantine. What was institutionalized in Europe before that? (you did say your religion was European didn't you?). A true believer does not flaunt themselves because love does not make a show but Christians want to give and share because this is the essence of our faith. Our God is love. ATST love isn't God. TPW: Before Christianity under Constatine we had our problems with Rome (But then who the heck didn't during that time period?). But the even the Romans were kinder in some respects as opposed to the rule that Constatine's endeavours brought. As for Christianity being younger than the original Paganism, depends how you see it. If you refer to the new testament then I have to say yes. If you refer to the OT, then I would have to say that we were there in Europe while other empires were being raised and we were there up north, way up there while your biblicals heroes were doing their thing way down south!! JT: I don't know about all that TPW, I've seen a lot; but I don't believe a true follower of God, even an immature one rejoices when even those he believes to be evil fall. Not if he has any fear of God at all in his heart because our scriptures say that God is not pleased with that. I haven't a clue who Torquemada is - why would anyone envy him? TPW: *Sigh* if only more Christians were like you, I wouldn't have to do HALF of the things I had to do. As for Torquemada, I am surprised you never heard of him. Still for your intellectual appetite I submit this bit of information, concerning this sinister character who makes both Paul Hill, Fred Phelps and even Pat Robertson look like kittens. Tomas de Torquemada, 142098, Spanish churchman and inquisitor. A Dominican, he became confessor to Ferdinand II and Isabella I and in 1483 was appointed inquisitor general of Castile and Aragón, charged with the centralization of the Spanish. He was largely instrumental in bringing about the expulsion of the Jews in 1492. His great authority was contested by colleagues and was diminished in some measure by the pope, but he remained preeminent until his death. Torquemada owes his reputation for cruelty to the harsh rules of procedure that he devised for the Inquisition and to the rigor with which he had them enforced I would also submit more on the Inquisition, but I have learned in the past that sometimes many modern christians have felt weak in the knees and were tremendously shaken to the point of being unable to pursue the discussion. I therefore will spare you. You may however want to research on it on your own time and see what it is precisely that I take part in avoiding. JT: TPW are you saying that the pagans are strong, well adjusted, and full of valour while those serving the God of the Universe are sociopaths? TPW: What I am saying is we don't sweep our sociopaths under the rug and pretend they never were there. Paganism has blood on it's hands and we vow never to allow this sort of thing to happen again. We know that our ancestors have done some horrible things (The vikings were not angels, raids and plundering are not nice things to do) What makes me shudder alot is many professing Christians know little or nothing about their church's history and even it's mistakes. Remember, the Church may be the bride of God, but it's not God now is it? Many pastors would avoid serious mistakes if they knew how the church grew and what NOT to do should they face a situation that they once faced in the past.

This is pretty much as I have understood it from discussing with other pagans. It seems that you have no personal relationship with any god.

RE: [TruthTalk] PAGAN WOLF FAQ
David Miller: Hi Pagan Wolf. I appreciate you taking time to talk about your religion. I often encounter pagans when preaching, but I don't often find any willing to talk too much about their religion. It is as if they just want to say that they are pagan for the shock value. They will readily talk with me about many matters, but when I begin asking specific questions, they get uncomfortable and don't really provide answers in such a way that I can see they follow a different religion than the rest of society. Maybe you can answer some of my questions. TPW: And I must apologize for such behaviour. You see you may encounter some who will just say they worship some heathen god, in the hopes of aggravating the preacher. But you will find that if you take an actual curiousity in their faith, many Pagans will actually open up and be more than willing to tell you about their reasons. However you have to bare in mind that over the years there have been many preachers who have been aggressive towards us and even some organizations (Such a Chick publishing ) who have been in heavy misinformation campaigns and spreading ludicrous facts about us. Hence, when questionned we feel our first line of defense is secrecy. After seeing many members of our communities being harrased, we decided that rather to turn to violence, we chose to remain hidden when facing those who wouldn't listen to us to begin with. Only to open up to the curious. And even then, unlike Christians, we don't believe in recruiting. It's not our way, besides, being a Pagan is not for everyone. Dave Miller: In my preaching activities, I have heard many pagans who seem to mention Thor as their god before all others. Why is that? Do you guys have some kind of organization or book or set of books that bring you all together on this? Can you name the different gods of your pantheon and explain why you believe in them? Can you expound upon Thor and your relationship with him? TPW: Gladly. I strongly recommend that site, http://www.ealdriht.org/. It will satiate alot the scholarly aspects of your curiousity. But I will focus on what you perceive as a "relationship" with Thor. That is a mistake on your part, but it understandable, since you have a "relationship" with your god. No, Thor in some respect is a "God of the people". But in the Asatru fashion, we seek to emulate the qualities of said patron god and avoid their weaknesses. Thor tends to be the "protector" of the people, the hero. I, as an Asatru, I seek to uphold the nine virtues and and be of service by keeping those in the community strong and when seing an injustice to look at a practical solution to aid them. Do I use statues or other impelments? You will be shocked to know that it's to the user's taste. But Most Asatru, and other types of Pagans are a practical folk. No point in building images. The Gods have really no use for them nor do they ask them!! And in this day and age, we feel especially in the workplace that we shouldn't be intimidating with our ways, so a small pendant or some small paperweight with a rune, and voila. A silent prayer to our Gods, we don't see the point in bothering anyone. Many of us pratice herbal lore, the artform of healing with herbs, but we are practical and many like myself have replaced it with a first aid course (With some minor enhancements here and there). We strive to be self-reliant and surpass ourselves. We know were are only human, but that's no reason to be a stick in the mud. Another aspect why I align myself with Thor, is his hammer. Think about it. A hammer is a tool. chiefly used for construction, not destruction. But it can still be used to defend your kin...very nice. And so I emulate that attribute. By seeking to empower others and not harm them. Well I hope this helps. Do keep asking questions. And remember, there are no stupid questions, only REALLY DUMB ANSWERS!!

[TruthTalk] PAGAN WOLF FAQ
Allrighty...since you guys are asking, I think it's time for a Mini-FAQ so questions can be answered. Q: Are you really a Pagan? A: Yep. I am a Neo-Asatru. One who has his beliefs set in the Scandinavian Patheon. More precisely I am a Thorite (one who affiliates his will) with Thor. I follow the nine virtues of the thorth (Courage, Truth, Honor, Fidelity, Discipline, Industriousness, Self-Reliance, Perseverance). Q: Where did you get the moniker "The Pagan Wolf"? A: Believe it or not, A Christian gave it to me! Bit of a story behind this. There was this one preacher whom I heckled some odd years ago who shouted back at me "Here you are in prescence of a Christian Lamb and you act like a Pagan Wolf!!". The name stuck and I liked it, since I simply adore the wolf. It's a noble creature to me. Q: What are you standing up against? Christians? The Church? What? A: I stand against religious fundementalists, more precisely, the fringe lunatics that use a platform of violence and political intrigue to get their merry little way. I dub them "Fundies". I also fight against Crooked Tele-evangelists, abusive priests and neo-nazi hoodlums whenever. Q: Are you an enemy of God then? A: Hardly. To use your own terminology, I relegate the matters of God onto God and Relegate the matters of Cesear unto Cesear. Hence, it's not against your God I got a problem with, it's more some of his renegade followers. Q: Why all the secrecy? Why won't you reveal your true name? A: To protect some people of which are dear to me, including myself. Having been a regular thorn in many group's side, I learned the value of being a question mark. Many of the more lunatic of the bunch have expressed ill intent in the past, and seeing this I felt a need to use a stealthier approach. With time I develloped it in a way that I can sit comfortably in a diner right next to my mark and they wouldn't even know who I really was. Q: What's the worse you have done to them? A: Merely made it so that the police was there at the right time and the right place. *grins* as for the rest, well, the right kind of information given unto the right organization can go a long way... Q: What do you mean by that? A: That information is ammunition. Knowing the who, the what and the where can be far more potent than some picketting or some brainless belly-aching. Most interests groups I see nowadays are just so much hot-air, poor informed and not making really any smart use of their ressources. Well if you have other questions, feel free to ask.
