Nicely said.
I would add that a few suffer class from class envy paradoxically.

I'm a non-apostate Protestant myself but I think that poster's smear of Catholicism as akin to this Gaia psuedo-religion was uncalled for.
Well done.

Gaea Ping!
I've been saying this for quite a while, now. Nice to see I'm right, though someone else obviously thought of it before I did. And I find the whole Pan bit interesting, to say the least.
What I also find interesting is how Gaea and Pan (Satan, according to these folks), are anti-technology. So by assumption, then, it's safe to say that God is PRO-Technology? Sounds like it (Which, of course, is something I like the sound of).
Whatever the case, it wouldn't surprise me if one day Gaea worship became the official UN/EU state religion. I can see these Green Commies setting the stage for it.

The group was asked to tune in to the crystal matrix frequency (Mother Earth's heartbeat) and to relax. Many went into trance-like states. As people felt they were being filled with the Earth's energy, they became vocal, with sounds rising and falling rhythmically. Some swayed and some fell down on the ground and began writhing. They were then 'brought to silence.'
Arguelles told the audience to concentrate on a cloud floating overhead, just drifting, and then told them to invite the cloud in to fill the empty spirit, the empty soul. He said to invite "PAN" in, accepting him as the leader and guide for their lives. ~ from Article
Change a word here and there and you have Pentecostalism.

"Gaia teaches that man has damaged or destroyed the fragile balance of nature. Disciples of Gaia believe that all living things on earth are interconnected (except man) and to damage or destroy even a tiny insect is to damage whole ecological systems. Such a premise was the basis for Vice President Al Gore's book, "Earth in the Balance."' So if man is the problem, what should be done about it?
Well the obvious answer is to sue somebody. So until the rocks, snail darters, spotted owls, chickens and gay whales show up in court (sans Lawyers) with a statement of claims, I ain't listening.

The Queen of that Kingdom is the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Mother of the Lord God Jesus Christ." [Source: EWTN] Mat 12:48 But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren?
Mat 12:49 And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren!
Mat 12:50 For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.

The new age has entered unseen into most Christian churches..see how many do the " inner healing" meditation where people walk back into the womb
and take Jesus with you and other such new age practices..or they are told to "visualize" things.. the move to full Paganism in many Christian cburches is not that unlikely a thought
I know people that say they are Christian that do Yoga..

Please Woody, don't start again. Can you understand that Satan would do his best to mimic/deceive those who don't have God's Holy Spirit truly bearing witness of their salvation by any which way, including the demon-possessed likeness of what the ignorant think is real?
I am Pentecostal. I've seen fakery in my lifetime. I've also seen/known the power of God's Holy Spirit. I hope you have also.
I'm not talking pure human emotions, I'm talking about God's presence. Don't confuse the two.
Don't/Can't you see how Satan, in the last days, will deceive the masses via what 'seems' like the real thing to the carnal man.

Exactly! And where do you expect that Satan will perform his charade--down on the street corner full of athiests or in the church?
Having been in Pentecostal churches, I can testify that a great deal of what passes for "drunk on the Spirit" "slain by the Spirit" etc. is nothing more than a mass of pew jumping babble meant to look like the real thing.
There, I'm even being charitable about this.

I am Pentecostal. Somehow I missed those crystals and cloud sessions, I guess.
However, if you have actually witnessed such a thing, I am safe in saying that you weren't at a legitimate "Pentecostal" church. Satan loves it when he can trick people and cause ridicule by associating cults with true belief.
To: B-Chan
In the Old Testament monarchy the Queen of the Davidic Kingdom was the Queen Mother. The Kings, for reasons of state and human weakness, had many wives, none of whom fittingly could be called Queen. That honor was reserved for the mother of the King, whose authority far surpassed the many "queens" married to the king... The role of the Queen Mother, therefore, is a prophetic type of the Kingdom role of Mary,
Can you please give me the scripture reference wherein the actual term QUEEN MOTHER is used in the OT. Thank you.

Let's just change a word here and there and see what we get:
As people felt they were being filled with the Holy Spirit, they became vocal, with sounds rising and falling rhythmically. Some swayed and some fell down on the ground and began writhing.
Invite the Holy Spirit in to fill the empty spirit, the empty soul. He said to invite Holy Spirit in, accepting him as the leader and guide for their lives.
I do note for the record that time4good did not deny the similar wording between Pentecostalism and Gaiaism (or whatever it is called). Neither, I suspect, will you deny the similar wording in what I "quoted" above with what are generally called "slain in the spirit" and "speaking in tongues".
However, if you have actually witnessed such a thing, I am safe in saying that you weren't at a legitimate "Pentecostal" church. Satan loves it when he can trick people and cause ridicule by associating cults with true belief. ~ JudyB1938
I'd dare to say that the vast majority of what passes for Pentecostalism is a Satanic charade.
Woody.
P.S. Is the "gift of tongues" available to anybody?

I'm among the first who stood up years ago and denounced certain aspects that were creeping into my faith. Oral Roberts was the first object of my wrath back in 1956 when I was a senior in high school!
However, it stands to reason that if we were to judge the entire Christian faith by the charlatans and sinful acts of some "professing" Christians, we'd have to throw out Jesus himself, period. But He knew there would be stuff like this happening. That's why He told us to test EVERY spirit.
As far as the availability of Speaking in Tongues, usually people ask for that gift. There have been times when it descended upon a person though who didn't ask for it. As far as trying to explain it, how do you explain the taste of a pear? Unless one has experienced something for oneself, understanding may remain elusive.

Yes, we are all brothers, sisters, and members of Christ's family. But your post says nothing to take away from the fact that Jesus Christ was a man, and as such had a specific personal mother as well. Sorry!
Remember:
1. Our Lady, the Blessed Virgin Mary is the mother of Jesus;
2. Jesus is 100% God;
3. Therefore, Our Lady, the Blessed Virgin Mary is the mother of God.
There's just no way out of it. The Blessed Virgin Mary is the mother of God.

Can you please give me the scripture reference wherein the actual term QUEEN MOTHER is used in the OT? No, I can't. The term "queen mother" isn't found in the Old Testament., but the term "queen" is, and it amounts to the same thing: Back then, "queen" = "mother of the king", not "wife of the king", since kings back then had many wives.
Remember, Sacred Scripture is only part of the deposit of God's Word. The teaching of sola scriptura is an invention of man, not God -- the idea of "Bible only" Christianity is not found in Scripture.
Yours in Christian fraternity,
