Jesus Christ

Actually Jesus came through the bloodline of David because that is the bloodline of Mary his Mother. That is why Jesus is sometimes referred to as the son of David, symbolically of course!

Actually Jesus said that He died and took the pain and shame of the cross so that we who believe will not have to.

Early Christians,however,where told to seek out a martyrs death just as Christ did.A lot of Christians went to their death in the name of Jesus (not as many as you would think though).

Yes, and for what? A lie fabricated by the "Holy Roman Church."

It's a sad thing indeed.their's something even worse though.After Christianity became the dominant religon in,they killed off all Pagans and most Gnostics.One Pagan philosopher,a woman named ??? (something like Hyprotia) was ordered to be torn limb from limb.

I was an evil time for nonconformists.

No they died for the name of Jesus long before the "Roman Church". They died because of what they believed in and what they knew was the truth.

why do the gospel link upo Jesus through Josephs bloodline then

You need to understand that in that time and in Jewish tradition the bloodline of the father was always more importent if I can put it that way. God chose Mary and Joseph to be Jesus's earthly parents and therefor they made note of Joseph's bloodline in the gospels. Jesus became the son of man (as he is sometimes referred to in the gospels) so that he could die like a ordinary man, but was raised up as God's son. Jesus came through the house of David via Mary and Joseph to fulfill a prophecy spoken many centuries before that.

which again makes joseph bloodline complete useless since he wasnt jesus biological father.

bangin You miss the point.

😆 It's frustrating being in a human body isn't it....Just wait one day you'll shed your skin and be free.

You miss the point.

the point is that listing joseph bloodline is a waste of time and space

The POINT is that, that is the tradition. Our opinion on it is not important. Mary though is from the bloodline of David and thus Jesus is still the fulfilment of the prophesies.

A few are still around yes.However,a lot of Pagan teachings have been lost to us.I wouldn't realy say it survived without interuption.It was more of a re-emergence or something. 💃

Yeah...they knew much about what is being rediscovered today even.
Some of it. though the church was very superstitious and labeled them witches and devil worshipers.

We are not few. There are 1000s of Slavonic pagans only in my country. We have connection with pagans in former USSR countries. There are also lots of us there.
But Slavonic Culture is only one from hundreds of cultures of the world.
My friend just came back from Europe. Lots of pagans also live there.
So... 🙂 😉 😄 😎 💃

And I know that Christians are eating the body and are drinking the blood of Christ on their holidays. Symbolic cannibalism sly
We don't howl at the moon. I can't see the sense of that 😉
