Astrology.
What do you think of such?
DAVEH: I do not subscribe to it, nor do I find it of much interest.
However Kevin....I think Blaine tried to show that Christianity has
some roots in it. So if one wants to criticize Blaine for his beliefs
about astrology, is that same person willing to criticize Christianity
for having astrologically related beliefs?
And if you think Blaine is a pagan because of his astrology related
beliefs, then do you believe a Christian is also pagan because he
believes in some of the pagan rooted elements of the Bible?
Now before you go to great lengths to involve me in an astrology
thread, I am not a supporter of the topic. You should engage Blaine if
you want to discuss it further, as I neither want to appear to support
astrology, nor do I want to speak for Blaine. I'm just pointing out
the double standard issue that Christians have to face when denouncing
astrology. I'll copy this to Blaine in case he wants to respond to
this thread....which I will change to reflect the new direction this
discussion is taking.
Blaine has posted a number of times refering to Astrology.

PA'GAN, n. [L. paganus, a peasant or countryman, from
pagus, a village.] A heathen; a Gentile; an idolater;
one who worships false gods. This word was originally applied to the
inhabitants of the country, who on the first propagation of the
christian religion adhered to the worship of false gods, or refused to
receive christianity, after it had been received by the inhabitants of
the cities. In like manner, heathen signifies an inhabitant of the
heath or woods, and caffer, in Arabic, signifies the inhabitant of a
hut or cottage, and one that does not receive the religion of Mohammed.
Pagan is used to distinguish one from a Christian and a Mohammedan.
PA'GAN, a. Heathen; heathenish; Gentile; noting a person
who worships false gods.
1. Pertaining to the worship of false gods.

OK let me chime in I will restate it for Dean
DH's BELIEFS are Pagan!
DAVEH: OK Kevin....specifically in what way do draw that conclusion?
What is it that you think I believe that qualifies as a pagan belief?
First, you may want to define what you think pagan means so we will
have a common starting point.

For the sake of Lance (IYO)
OK let me chime in I will restate it for Dean
DH's BELIEFS are Pagan!
So does the BIBLE practice ADHOMS?
AND name names!
Sop let me get this straight Paul should NOT have said:
Acts 13 Elymas the sorcerer ...
PAUL SAYS: And
said, O full of all subtilty and all mischief, thou child of
the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not
cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?
SHOULD BE
And said, O full of all subtilty
beliefs and all beliefs of mischief, thou child with beliefs
of the devil, thou believing against all righteousness, wilt
thou not cease believing to pervert
the right ways of the Lord? (what
VERSION would this be? )
Since Paul was FU LL of the Holy Ghost (IMO VS 9) when he
said this does that mean God called Elymas A DEVIL? Is God ADHOM? Did
God call him a PERVERT?
You DaveH are a Pagan.
DAVEH: I respectfully disagree, Judge
Dean. To me, your above comment is a blatant ad-hom
Why is attacking your genuinely held beliefs
an attack on your person?
Seriously; can you expound? KD
DH can make the point but
let
me chime in here, as well. "You .. are a pagan" is not the same as
"Your beliefs are pagan>"
Those who have eyes, let them
see, Lord.

I
called you a Mormon-to which you do not deny-You called me a Christian
to wit I did not deny. By doing so you separated the two-and as
receiving the first (Mormon) and tagging me with the second(Christian)
you have clearly showed yourself to be non Christian
DAVEH: What kind of convoluted logic is that, Judge Dean??? Does any
other TTer who understands what Dean said above, agree with his
explanation?
You DaveH are a Pagan.
DAVEH: I respectfully disagree, Judge Dean. To me, your above
comment is a blatant ad-hom, and I will request Judge Moore take the
appropriate action if you do not wish to apologize.
he fact that you do not follow the teaching of Jesus
Christ
DAVEH: Is that coming from Judge Dean, or Judge Moore?
Get over
it the truth is not an Ad. Homein attack
DAVEH: Really?!?!?!?! Did you just make a new TT rule, Judge Moore?
Or was that Judge Dean expressing his unfounded wishes?
state a
petition to impeach me
DAVEH: Seems to me that you are doing a good job of it on your own.
I am not
Judge Dean
DAVEH: Then am I to assume that every time you pass judgment, you are
speaking as Judge Moore?
by your standards isn't that Ad.
Homein attacking
DAVEH: ??? I thought we were playing the game by your standards,
Judge Dean! Hence.....Get over it the truth is not an Ad. Homein attack according
to you.
I
will have to go to the Moderator
DAVEH: I've not had much luck with him, but I suspect he will listen
to you.
Are you implyin g Dean called
you such NAMES?
DAVEH: I'll let Judge Dean answer that, Kevin..........I say/demand again "
