Seems interesting....Could the early church fathers have changed the scriptures from this belief?? If the early fathers wanted to control the people, they would have to insert "Hell" and everlasting torment, but if reincarnation was true...The people would have no fear of death and punishment for not doing the churchs will...
It's interesting.
Quite intresting, i've only had time to read the top one, but still it was intresting to read about how christianity is so different to its initial form.
Sounds as if christianity is like a game of chinese whispers, its changed this much in its course of travelling through time, goodness knows how much it'll have changed in a few hundred years.
Well It DID belive in reicarnation but then the took it out but did you know at one time they only let you have sex 2 months out of the whole year and yet you wernt alowed to enjoy it!!!
And the Devil is all made up from the God of Hunting from the old Religon which is whar Wicca is based off and of which i follow for im wiccan
Ummm well im still practicing spells and stuff but im not that good and i have tons of books im reading and it would take too long to explain but to sum it up we belive in the God of hunting and the Goddess of Fertility.
Its basicaly the Old religon which CAME BEFOR Christianity and that christanity was against it and took the God and called it the devil which just so happens to of had horns!!!!!!!!
To be totally honest, i'm clueless about what i actually believe, I used to be strongly christian, but i started thinking and realised i just don't believe it, I reckon theres some sort of god, but i really don't rate the bible and its teaching's high as a possibility. I don't really know what i would be classed as because i'm not an aetheist. I've just seen that much stuff that shows that christians in particular are so easily able to change their beliefs, alter their teachings anythign really just to try to remain popular. Kinda sad that a religon has to continously change its teachings just to survive. But i hope to find something at some point that suits what i believe in.

Well, from what I'm taught, Jesus ressurected. Not reincarnated. He conqured death "Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?" (1 Corinthians 15:55). Also Hell was always talked about as the place of "weeping an knashing of teeth."
Hell as a place of burning torment was instituted by the early Roman church when they brought in the pagans. The OT doesn't mention such a place, why?? The Jews don't believe it, why?? Because it was started back with the Babylonians and moved through the different pagan religions...Hell, or sheol, pit..etc..are all referring to the grave..The weeping and knashing of teeth can be taken a few ways. First you have to be sure that it wasn't added later by the church, as there were aprox. 100 or so different writings that were being considered. Only 4 were accepted. Others were also altered. It could also be that when someone died, everyone was in a place of weeping and knashing of teeth because of their sorrow. It could also be considered regrets on their life could of been...You need to trace "Hell", back to it historical roots...

Choose your words wisely Lord Follen, I am Catholic, let alone Christinan. From the time that you've known, would you agree with the previous statment?
Well what i ment was lies to non belivers? I guess like what i beliven makes it a lie i dint mean the other way. There is also the fact that they are all cometitve to one another if you know what i mean.

Question, if your wiccan, what are your beliefs? and can u do any cool black magic??? lol sorry but that wld kick ass.
Wiccans have no power. They might think they can do all sorts of things like summoning spirits to obey them, but they can't. All I've read about witches and their supposed powers is summed up by their responses: "I can do such-and-such, but I won't do it just to prove that I can."
Uh-huh. Like the aura-seers and other psychics. The Amazing Randi doesn't appreciate them or Wiccans.
