I think you should have chosen your words differently, especially in here. I know you realize that your goin to strike up conversation with folks. :wink:
You know in Exodus 20:3-5
vs. 3"Thou shall have no other gods before me..notice that little "g" in your case you capitalized it?
vs. 4Thous shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, ot that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth...when you give honor its a form of worship..and you said that...but verse four and goin into vs. 5 sayes we are not to do that.
vs. 5 Thou shall not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me...
God has many sides... and the softer side of God is his handy work on making creation and the beauty of it..
But there is no Divine Femine...as you call it and since there isnt one. your worship is in ..oops your honor is in vain...
God wants us to appreciate the earth and the beauty of it...care for it yes... but honor it in the aspect of how you stated:
"(Before anyone get's on a pagan band wagon, I am not a devil worshiper, but I do honor the Goddess/mother earth/the divine feminie)"
You can take it or leave it but the word of God says: no to that...you are to only honor your father and mother that your days may be long on the land which the lord thy God giveth thee
Last but not least that spiritual path you are on....is the WRONG PATH...Check out John 14:6...Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
This is the spiritual path you should be on my brother....Lord help us all to follow you, for now is the time you have called for us to worship you in spirit and in truth
