I think the admiration of saints and the practice comes from the merger of ancestor worship that the pagan belifes had I could be wrong
@QuackDoktor are you quoting revilation out of curiousity
So, the long and short of it is that the saints are watching over us, and that we're asking them to pray to God on our behalf that he might hear our prayers. They are not divine, they are not being prayed to as we pray to God. They are simply people who lived holy lives and are praying all of us
@Vice Commander Hunt nigga whatchu want
__**Chapter 13**__
*Icons*
In the church on the iconostasis, along the walls, and at home in the corners are the **holy icons**, before which we say our prayers.
An **icon** or **image** is what we call the representation of God Himself, the Mother of God, the angels, or the saints. This representation is consecrated with Holy Water and prayer. Through this blessing the Grace of the Holy Spirit is imparted to the icon, and we reverence the icon as being holy. There are icons, through which the Grace of God that abides in them is revealed even by miracles, for instance in the healing of the sick.
hmm I wonder If it would be a good idea to add 2 religion channels for chat on pagan and christian topics
The saviour Himself gave us His portrait. Moved to compassion, He wiped His sacred face with a towel for the sick prince Abgar. When the sick prince prayed before this icon of the Saviour, that had not been made with hands (*pictured above*), he was healed of his illness.
I think that's a good idea, so I don't clog up this channel and piss off the pagans
and so if people have questions to ask, they can get answered without getting buried in the day to day conversations
shoot im pagan leaning but im agnostic so I enjoy learning truths from all sides
would that be okay?
@ghostofthevolk Not entirely sure, but I believe it's Hebrews
I was the same way @ghostofthevolk . I used to be pagan, but I liked listening to Bishop Williamson and I read Luther's *On the Jews and Their Lies*
I still appreciate Pagan culture. I don't believe it, but it holds a place in my heart
Nah nigga it's fine keep talking it here
