Anna to DYK ...Your posts sound like YOU are a pagan.
For the sake of clarity here.... could you please define what YOU mean by pagan? I have found that .. at times... People throw that label around to denote any belief system that does not support their own. Wikipedia gives a fairly thorough overview of the MANY different views that come under the Pagan "umbrella." Just something to consider... by its most pure definition Jesus would have qualified as a pagan.
It has been suggested that the word pagan was purposefully corrupted in order to turn people against those of conflicting ideologies in an attempt to discredit them. Looks like the plan worked.
At any rate, this actually points out just one of the MANY problems of reading Ancient and translated scripture in current times.... Language, being quite dynamic, evolves... sometimes dramatically, sometimes more subtly. Just food for thought. Peace
Paganism (from Latin paganus, meaning "country dweller", "rustic")[1] is a word with several different meanings.
In its broadest definition, pagan denotes all non-Abrahamic religions, that is to say it denotes all religions other than Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.
~ If one were to ask Jesus which was The RIGHT religion He would most likely tell you that it is the one which helps us to get in touch with our Hearts and perceive the Sacred Divine within everyone. ~
