Guest guest Posted April 14, 2001 Report Share Posted April 14, 2001 Funny, I was going to say " how Christian " Yes, my pagan faith has helped me IMMENSELY through all of this, I don't feel the need to tell everyone to turn to the Goddess for comfort/hope/strength, though I do believe this whole toxin thing is just more proof of how we need to be careful what we do with Mama Earth!!

Guest guest Posted April 14, 2001 Report Share Posted April 14, 2001 [ ] Re: RELIGIOUS posts Dear Leah, You needn't pray for me unless it helps you in some way. I have my own spirituality that has given me all the love that my heart can hold, the strength to carry on in spite of many " battles " that go on day after day . . .. after day, and the joy that gladdens my heart at the sight of my children's faces, a blue sky, a garden of flowers and the ocean at sunset.

Guest guest Posted April 14, 2001 Report Share Posted April 14, 2001 I have been a follower of the Jesus for almost 15 years...It has led me through many countries, and into the lives and hearts of so many different people. I am sad to see these types of replies... Where is your wisdom? You need to learn what to say, when to say it and how to say it... You come across very smug, and I am afraid to tell you that, that which you intended to communicate really backfired on you! I will stand with the Apostle and say, " It is because of you (Christians like you) that the Name of God is blasphemed among the gentiles... " From: valadez4@...

Yes, but we do differ in our beliefs, but the scripture says, Enter through the narrow gate, For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it.But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life , and only a few find it. , this is the word of God, you need not argue with us, but if you doubt take it to the Lord in prayer. And yes I am glad my mind is small, as a childs, I come to the Lord as a child would in faith, and I am glad that my mind is small and narrow, and you need to know that the innocence of your child is a one way gate into heaven, and one day she will be their, with or without you.

Guest guest Posted April 14, 2001 Report Share Posted April 14, 2001 Dear Andy, You must be tired of coming to my defense. I'll keep my mouth (uh, keyboard) shut and hopefully this whole subject will just go away.

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2004 Report Share Posted January 8, 2004 Hi Dr Pater, I know on the other forum, one poster brought up the dietary habits of the Benedictines of the 4th century and it was very interesting. Kim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 8, 2004 Report Share Posted January 8, 2004 What about discussing biblical nutrition or food restrictions? Because fasting, both intermittent, and longer, is a part of many spiritual traditions, it would seem to fit in with our understanding of CRON and longevity.
