Just because I'm a Harry Potter fan, it doesn't mean I love Jesus any less. Anyone who has ever read any of the books, will see that it highlights family, friendships, love, and loyalty, etc. Nothing wrong with that! ~BlessBrent and Blesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05481482930244037176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19218286.post-20046235747969934442008-01-10T08:01:00.000-05:002008-01-10T08:01:00.000-05:00Hi TL,Been reading and enjoying all your recent po...Hi TL,<BR/><BR/>Been reading and enjoying all your recent posts.

If we are "white" at all we are in no way a part of them. I'm still proud of it though, even if it is only 1/4, probably explains alot about me, lol, I'm kinda fiesty.

Therre is and has been so much hypocrisy, that it would be impossible to believe if hypocrisy were going to stand in the way.<BR/><BR/>For example, I am against the idea of acceptance of Harry Potter, because it is opening to things of the occult, yet many Christians are open to these books and see nothing wrong with them. I cannot for the life of me see why. It seems black and white to me.<BR/><BR/>I can see what Christians have done in the past and their defense for doing so - their killing instead of converting souls. Again, it should be obvious that Jesus would not do this or promote this, yet this is what Christians chose to do.<BR/><BR/>Yet, I have no doubt that Jesus was right when he said "I am the way, the truth and the LIFE. No one comes to the Father except through ME!"<BR/><BR/>I'm still going to stick with Jesus!<BR/><BR/>And, TL, in response to your comment in your last post - there is something about you that makes it difficult to keep from sticking with YOU!<BR/><BR/>Cheers!imfreenow.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02027918519497057203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19218286.post-54619687017854895142008-01-04T01:04:00.000-05:002008-01-04T01:04:00.000-05:00I saw the movie, but didn't get to see the end. I...I saw the movie, but didn't get to see the end. I will have to watch it now. Parts of it were actually filmed here where I live, very close to my house, here in Phoenix. I guess we have climate and landscape like that of the middle east. The road they had the roadblock on at the beginning is actually a new part of the freeway here that they could film on before they started using it. <BR/><BR/>I really liked this post. I agree with all of it. Its funny how religions say they are the only right one, and that they are so different - yet you find many of the same beliefs in them, just in different words. I've studied Buddhism and am now Wiccan. I've realized that both of these religions were very much misunderstood by the Christian religion I was raised in. People are very scared of things they don't understand. Karma, "Do unto others", the law of 3, - these all basically say the same thing. Treat people good.<BR/><BR/>I am part native - 1/4 Apache. I was adopted and was thrilled to find this out. I never expected to be hated for this - I was so happy about it. But most Native Americans that I had talked to and told this to are very hateful toward me because of it. Its not something I can help, its how I was born, and something I was very happy to find out and identify with, even if it is only 1/4. I don't even mention it to any Native American's anymore. But I'm still happy about it. I'm thrilled that those are my ancestors and part of them is in me.<BR/><BR/>And I identify on some level with how they feel about Christianity. My religious and spiritual "ancestors", my sisters, were burned at the stake in the name of Christ. For the "cause", because Christians had the only access to and approval from God. And not that long ago. Burned at the stake. Literally. Murdered. I thought that was one of the 10 commandments? To this day, this is why it is a secretive, discreet religion. Wicca is actually a very loving religion. Very accepting, very spiritual, very nurturing. We don't sacrifice anything, have orgies, or worship Satan. I grew up believing those things. It is the only thing that makes sense to me. So I am here.<BR/><BR/>We are all on different paths to the same destination. We need to love each other and accept that we all have different ways of getting there. I sound very enlightened stating those words, but I, too, need to believe them and be more accepting. I have been having a challenge with an "anonymous" on my blog. I have a hard time being loving when I feel attacked, especially when it involves my kids (Mama Bear). But I need to accept and love the Christians too, which I find very challenging most times. Thank you for you kind words you wrote to me.<BR/><BR/>Everyday I have to look at "love" and "truth" that are permanently etched on my left arm. I did this after studying Buddhism, and I did it on purpose - so I would have to look at them every day. For me. They are the two most important things in the whole world. I all to often fall short of living them, but it helps to see them everyday.<BR/><BR/>I love the COEXIST bumper stickers I've seen - each letter in the symbol of a different religion.<BR/>(http://www.stampandshout.com/shop/bumper-stickers/coexist.php). <BR/><BR/>God is big enough for ALL religions.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for your post.<BR/><BR/>NamasteFallen Angelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14792534468217077571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19218286.post-76127936225517950012008-01-03T14:08:00.000-05:002008-01-03T14:08:00.000-05:00We watched that last weekend...it left me kind of ...We watched that last weekend...it left me kind of speechless.
