I followed this thread over from the Christian Ladies TTC thread. I really enjoyed the daily devotionals and Bible verses on that one. I understand that there are a multitude of religions and various beliefs but I think that since this thread was started as a support for Christian moms-to-be we shouldn't stop posting our Bible verses or prayer requests for each other. If any of the other women disagree with this and want to start a "prayer and support" thread for any religion to post that's great, but I enjoy that this one was started by a Christian woman for Christian women and we all share a common belief in one true God. There are many "denominations" that fall under the Christian heading: Catholic, Baptist, Protestant, Presbyterian, Episcopalian, etc (I'm not going to list them all) but we all have Christianity in common and that's what this thread is about.
Thanks. Add pagan to that list. I also meant god not gods in my first post but I can see how the religiously uneducated would mistake that.
Our bibles basically speak the same words, a pagan bible is older that the Christian bible but I can see the confusion.
I wasn't hurt until all the PMs I had received and then I realized you guys are bullies, it does not feel good to be Bullied by a bunch of ignorant people.
Open your eyes, what I said had meaning and truth and none of you opened your heart to receive my prayer. That is not only hurtful but you should be ashamed of yourselves. Maybe I am more Christian that you claim to be?!
I'd be happy to be banned from BnB as after opening my eyes and realizing you guys were plain out being hurtful instead of welcoming to someone who just wanted to pray for their unborn child and those who have offered advice and help, just shut down. IMO that's not Christian.
Judge me, judge not lest ye be judged. It was in the pagan bible first, I guess that's why some find it so hard to stick too!
Thank you but WE are not ignorant or religiously uneducated. You knew what you were doing when you got on a CHRISTIAN thread and wanted to introduce another religion, just to stir something up. Fortunately there are enough true Christians on here to stand up for God and not allow our little prayer group to be penetrated by something ungodly. You can make all the comparisons you want, Christianity is also connected to Islam but it's no where near the same thing and just because the rest of the world is stuck in this politically correct bandwagon doesn't mean it will be accepted everywhere so go ahead and create your own thread and pray to whomever you choose! I pray that you are touched by the Holy Spirit of God and that your soul is saved!
The Christian church accepts my prayer, if I hadn't have said it you would have never known. Paganism is basically Christianity,
Or did you forget?
Don't worry about praying for my soul darling, I don't need it. Not from someone like you. Call yourself Christian yet you don't act like one.
I wot be back here to read your useless remarks
Dear friend,
I am not pregnant, so I possibly shouldnt be on this thread. I want you to know that I know Princess Bree well who begun this group, she is one of the most selfless and humble people I have ever met. I know her heart when she created this thread was to welcome everyone so that she could pray in Jesus name for you and baby. I have never known Bree to be offensive or hurtful to anyone. I want you to know that she, and every other Christian here, is sorry if you have felt unwelcome, because it really isn't the case.
Religious debate is always good, it's great to question our beliefs so that we know deep down we are not blindly following others, but I believe there is a time and a place for debate, maybe this isn't it? I'm sure you would have much intellectual input if you begun a thread for debate on it or if you felt moved to bein a thread to educate us more on paganism. But to Christians it is as simple as this - We are Christians because we believe in the Christ when He said 'I am the way, the truth and the life, noone comes to the Father except through me' That is simply what I, as a Christian believe. My personal belief is that Jesus is the only way, you are 100% entitled to believe what you believe too. You are facing resistance to your views because you are trying to persuade Christians on here that paganism and Christianity are the same, I think you would be more successful and face less resistance by starting your own thread and explaining this in a nuetral space. I am not saying you are not welcome, I am saying I understand why both sides are upset here and I think you DESERVE your own ground to express your own beliefs.
There's only one more thing I want to add after apologising if you have been hurt or offended. And that is to say Christians as the LEAST perfect people, every one of us is a sinner, and that is why we need a saviour. So to accuse us of not acting like Christians is wrong, we sin, make mistakes, mess up all the time, but because of the perfect Christ, we have hope.
Leaving you hugs, love, compassion and hope for your future,

YAY!! It took me a little while to come around to the idea as I was convinced (and preparing) for a little boy, but just goes to show you God has other plans for my life. After the ultrasound I found myself analyzing every little detail from the scan pictures and getting myself entirely worked up about what would happen if this baby has something wrong with her. After an entire weekend of agonizing I realized that I should be grateful that I was able to see a beating heart, two arms and legs, and ten fingers and toes.
