Gospel Truth/Pagan Lies: Can You Tell the Difference?

Summary: Two Worldviews
Review: Dr Jones work was not intended as a tool of hatred or intolerance. It is a vehicle to demonstrate that the Biblical Christian worldview is uniquely different from all others and nothing more. The book with great accuracy details step by step the different way Christians and Non Christians (pagans) view Creation, Reality, Ourselves and our place within what has been created. Does he make assertions that pagans are wrong? Yes, but that is not intolerance, rather it is a mature realization that two the different worldviews reject one another. Is that biased? Yes! We are all biased. Ken Ham said "We are all of us biased, Its just a matter of choosing the best bias to be biased with!"
The cacophonies of opposition seem to miss the point of the work. Criticism without sighting specifics is like cooking without heat, the products of your efforts are unfinished, tasteless, and will quickly spoil. "Gospel Truth Pagan Lies" engage specific Ideas with polite clarity. We are all free to reject such ideas, but in doing so by using words and phrases such as, intolerance, Bigotry, and Teaching hate, without a fragment of effort devoted to exposing or refuting the errors or problems with the authors ideas one proves themselves either lazy or irresponsible.

Here is an example, which may demonstrate a topic in which the two opposing worldviews will never reach concord. Aspecting, Channeling, Spirit Guides or Relationships forged during Astral Projection are all terms the New Age (Pagans) may employ to describe what Christians refer to as Demonic contact/possession. We are talking about the same thing (Summoning specific non-corporeal entities) but the two worldviews hold dramatically conflicting judgements as far as the outcome of such undertakings. The Christian view is based upon the absolute prohibition of such activities outlined clearly in the Bible. The Pagan viewpoint is for the most part based on personal decision, with the only absolutes being self imposed and ultimately even those changeable based upon feeling.

Dr. Jones did not threaten anybody with hell; however; The God of the bible does promise that end to those who choose to reject him. The Bible and the worldview that it teaches make clear that we humans are creations and not the creators of the universe. One may reject that view. In doing so we find we have given birth to a new view, that makes two, each with its own set of consequences. That profound division I believe is what Dr. Jones is trying to communicate and that's all the book really says.

Summary: I'd Give it Zero.
Review: It sure is pagan "lies". The book is full of lies about paganism. This person is brainwashed and only wants to brainwash the rest of humanity. It is a narrow minded and one sided view of religion. He goes on about how pagans worship the creation, when in fact most pagans in fact revere nature with respect but still worship a Diety of some sort whether it be a Goddess and a God, or a God with both male and female aspects. Even in his author's note he states that other religious publications "were filled with pagan assumptions"...and what he did is fill an entire book with pagan assumptions and LIES!!!

What this author is trying to argue is that Christianity is the ONLY way, this is not true. While it may be for him, it is not true for everyone. Why if someone is happy would you want to tell him/her that everything they have ever believed in is wrong?? He assumes that just because someone is Pagan they are anti-Christian....what I have seen in my life's journey is that many (not all) Christians are anti-Pagan. If the Christian God is the judge of man's soul, why does man feel he needs to judge thy neighbor? I thought that it was LOVE thy neighbor?

He also states that monism is Paganism, and that monism is the opposite of theism. This is another un-truth. The opposite of monism is dualism. The opposite of theism is athesim. He states no source for his information other than the Bible, which makes his argument unsound. An argument based on opinions and one book does not make for a convinving argument. Save your money. Do your own research. If you want to learn about Witchcraft buy Scott Cunningham's "The Truth about Witchcraft Today" Then make your own comparisons. There are many more religions in paganism than just Wicca and Witchcraft...do the research. Don't read this book unless you want a good laugh.
