Geez, this guy changes policy like a person changes underwear...I am very tired of the Obama gimmicks and innocuous statements. Does he not get it...that what he says is how the people perceive him?? He is full of it! Reply...
Thanks for the truth. I surely did not hear it from the national media outlets. Reply...
from posters who curse me !!!! haha, just kidding sheila, actually I am on my way to sleep....
talk tomorrow.... Reply...
Protect you from what, exactly, Shoppe? Reply...
Sheila, Honestly, NO. I don't believe a person could curse me, just because I believe in God and his promise to take care of me and protect me.
Yes, somethings about Christmas are pagan oriented, but THE CHRISTMAS STORY IS SO TRUE. Virgin birth, Savior of the world, King of kings, Lord of lords, Death, Resurrection, coming again soon... yep.. thats the way I see it even if some try to put in pagan dates or themes.... :) Does that answer your question? Reply...
I don't believe in cursing, Shoppe. I don't believe I have the power to affect your life unless I do it myself. I was trying to see if you were superstitious. Do you believe others can curse you and that it actually does something? Reply...
So you actually realize that Christmas is actually a pagan holiday used to try and convert more pagans to christianity, and that easter is also actually a pagan holiday for fertility, yet you still believe in Christianity as if it can do nothing wrong? Who brainwashed you? Because they were very good at it. Reply...
I found this report about the korean beef protests, it's pretty interesting. makes me jealous that we don't have the mobile technology and market saturation here that they have in SK Reply...
Sheila, I admit, sometimes I am naive. :) I didn't know you were trying to curse me by complimenting me.... sigh....... You aren't really trying to curse me are you ?
anyway;, yes, a lot we do is very pagan.... even christmas day, the date, i think is pagan oriented. anyway....
we will all see one day, we will all see...... Reply...
nd- I personally don't believe in any of the predictions, and it just goes to show you that you believe in one lie but not others just because you were told that lie from childhood, or just chose to believe it. People have been "Recognizing the season" for centuries, and each time they are wrong, nothing ever happens but then they just take it back and say "god is letting us live a little longer." I don't believe in something unless there is actual proof of its existence, god has not proof and faith is just believing in something for nog ood reason at all, and I am not willing to lie to myself to make myself feel better, sorry. Reply...
Yeah, the days of the week are all named for pagan gods and goddesses. I always thought that was hilarious. Thor, red curly hair? Used to wear it long? Kinda moody sometimes, but pretty funny? Reply...
Had you ever wondered>?
The planets have given the week days their names following this order:
Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, Sun.
English has retained the original planets in the names for Saturday,
Sunday, and Monday. For the four other days, however, the names of
Anglo-Saxon or Nordic gods have replaced the Roman gods that gave
name to the planets. Thus, Tuesday is named after Tiw, Wednesday is
named after Woden, Thursday is named after Thor, and Friday is named
after Freya. Reply...
I know Thor. He is my younger brothers good friend. Reply...
That last bit about how you might jostle the ladder sounds like the reason I won't go out much on a Friday that falls on the 13th of the month. I might not believe in it, but I know there are lots of people out there who DO, and they're accidents waiting to happen. I try to keep my opportunities to come in contact with them to a minimum. Reply...
Many people hold the belief that it is bad luck to walk under a ladder, without understanding its origin in superstition. This superstition arises from early Christian teachings that an object with three points represents the Holy Trinity: God the Father, God the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Not all Christians are Trinitarians; therefore, to walk under a ladder, according to origin would only be bad luck for a Christian who believed.
The early superstitious thought is that to walk under a ladder, and through the Holy Trinity, expresses disbelief in the trinity and that one is in league with Satan. Performing such an act, especially in early Christian times, could have gotten one labeled as a witch. Thus it could be extremely dangerous to walk under a ladder.
A straight ladder, when leaning against a building does form a triangle. The top point connects with the building, the building intersecting with the road forms one corner and the bottom of the ladder makes the third corner. Throughout history, the number three has held extreme symbolic power, representing the masculine or as Carl Jung called it, the animus.
Even though the number three and the trinity are closely combined, use of three to represent symbolic importance dates far prior to Christianity. Though today to walk under a ladder is tied to Christian beliefs, it is quite possible that earlier beliefs may have held sway prior to the advent of Christianity. Early ladders predate Christianity.
It may be bad luck to walk under a ladder for a variety of more practical concerns. First off, if a person is on the ladder, a walk under the ladder might endanger either person. Some ladders are not particularly safe. Second, a ladder up to a roof might suggest people are working on a roof. To walk under the ladder might endanger the person on the ground if things fall off the roof. Even walking near a site where people are working above one is somewhat fraught with danger. People can and have been injured by things dropping from overhead.
Though Christianity claims the superstitious origins that to walk under a ladder is bad luck, truly good sense makes a walk under a ladder a dangerous practice. It could be supposed by the most superstitious that those who walk under a ladder are encouraging bad luck. Bad luck might come in the form of having things dropped on one’s head. However, no one has said much about the bad luck of being knocked off a ladder if a person jostles it while walking under it. This is one superstition that probably should be observed, not so much for its religious origins but for its good sense value. Reply...
The business about the evil eye. I was trying to see if the suggestion would put it in your head that any compliment to you would attract bad luck. You didn't bite, and that's cool. I just don't agree that supernatural goodwill is going to make my life or my future more secure. That's my job. I don't believe in trying to wish yourself secure or magical thinking, which is what I think a lot of people, including those who are religious, do. Reply...
I don't even like to walk around ladders. You walk under them?
Why? Reply...
sheila, about your last statement. My house and family have something to do about how supersticious I am? explain please. I purposly try to NOT be superstictious. (don't have my glasses on, forgive my spelling) anyway....... I do not KNOCK ON WOOD, if somone suggests it, I do walk under ladders, I am not afraid of friday the 13th. I do believe in evil spirits, but try not to dwell on them, instead I dwell on being safe knowing Jesus. Voodoo may work on some people that are of that mind set. Tarot cards can be worked thur the devil...... etc.... etc.....
I pray daily for my family to be safe, and to follow the Lord. They are all 3 saved as is my husband and I . But everyone makes their own decison and I hope my kids do the right things... Reply...
