Occult, occultist, occultism. Meanings ... why some churches consider occultism as something ZOT

[dangus]

Because Christians walk in the light, rather than cower in darkness. If anything is true, good, loving and honest, it need not be occult. The occult is that which is secretive, for the initiates only, calling upon forces which are secretive, shameful or deceitful.

Ah, you were there 2000 years ago, huh!?

So you take the word of a bunch of non-Christian scholars about who and what Jesus really was?

But the whole dispute is: Was Jesus really God, or just another itinerant Jewish preacher. If the second, maybe you are right. But the evidence seems to point another way to me. And if He was, and is, God, well your theory doesn’t hold water.

You must be a prophet. “This account has been banned or suspended.”

“If your right hand causes you to sin cut it off”! What did Jesus mean? Here is what Beinsa Douno Wednesday, November 09, 2011 3:08:29 PM · 25 of 32 xone to Love Wisdom Truth zot Post Reply | Private Reply | To 17 | View Replies

Thanks. The da vince code theory is a lie. http://peacebyjesus.witnesstoday.org/thedavincicode.html

And if the Catholic Church had wanted to change things and had the power, then it would not have been hard to add a text about praying to departed saints and other things which are now extrapolated out of texts.

You need to sit down with a pastor from a local Bible believing church to discuss this.
So many things in your question/statement that can't really be condensed here.
If you really want the knowledge; many people here would be more than willing to point to you to someone.

The da vince code theory is a lie.

Lie is such a harsh word. It is an 'entertainment'. That is why it was made into a movie.

Hollywood tries, every once in a while to put out the truth, but it is either ignored or rejected.

Since fame and fortune are the goals of Hollywood, attempting to stick to facts or 'truth' are a losing proposition.

Christianity has never been that 'popular', nor has Jesus, on a world-wide basis. The 'rules' (commandments) get in the way of things like lust and greed.

I missed the zotting.

Go ahead, follow the doctrines of Anton, see how many diseases you can catch in the shortest amount of time.

Don’t waste bandwith arguing with idiots, dear ‘zilla. HUGS and I’ve missed you!

Predicable perhaps, ignorant never. Mormonism is the epitome of occultism in religion. Been there, done that, got saved out of it.

I didn’t, tipped off the kitties and got the zot
