the green man

"it was known as judaism and those of the jewish faith do not recognize jesus as the messiah, only a man."

Jesus is the Spirit so anyone with his Spirit knows him. He revealed himself in the garden of Eden to Adam and Eve when he made them coats of skins. They had tried to cover themselves with their own works but it took blood shed to get the coats of skin. God revealed salvation to them. Christians believe in Christ. Christ is from the beginning. What religion goes back that far?

Adam was a christian.
Jesus is the Son of God.

so your bible claims, but of course it would. according to your bible christianity has been around forever. but when we look at actual history we find that christianity is an offshoot of judaism, and that would make adam a jew, not a christian.
make your own thread if you want to start this argument, this thread is for the green man.

Make your own religion.

At the core of it, only you hold the steering wheel of your personal infinite.

Or maybe you don't...
There are so many possibilities...

Where did you hear about the Greenman? I've heard of Pan; is that the same one?

let's go a step beyond the green man and jump headlong into animism. all things containing and being deities in and of themselves. the wind, the water, you, me etc.

the nice thing about animism is that you can cut out the idea of worship, who would have the time to do a thorough job of it (it would really cut into your free time if you had millions of gods to praise each day). worship could become a constant act of merely being thankful to be alive.

Where did you hear about the Greenman? I've heard of Pan; is that the same one?

possibly, the green man has had so many names, pan is a satyr, cernunnos is a being with stag horns etc. they maight be one and the same. the greeen man seems to be a recurring figure in most cultures.

Where did you hear about the Greenman? I've heard of Pan; is that the same one?

I'd say Pan and the Green Man share certain characteristics and are simmilar in ways, but I'd stop short of calling them the same thing.

its actually kind of funny, the christians persecuted pagans and their religions yet they put a pagan god in some of their gothic churches.
