And this is what I mean. There's nothing in Magenta's art that is "new age". And you have seen us disagree here and she certainly doesn't need me to defend her. But this ties into my thread. And I'm not trying to be ignorant to you. But we are entirely too quick to label things in the church. I've heard so many people, especially here, throw around words carelessly. Words have meaning. Nothing I've ever heard from our sister would make me think she is in to new age belief. Because she isn't. And there's nothing wrong with her art, all kinds of Christians are artistic. My own sister is an artist and she sees the world differently than others do. It's a God given talent, and one she often does for free, as Magenta does here. It's uplifting, many people here have mentioned her art has helped them. To say someone isn't a Christian because they enjoy her art is just utter nonsense. It's just an opinion, which you are entitled to, but it's nothing more. Sorry, I hope we can get along on other things but it's just utterly wrong to say someone isn't saved because they enjoy art. My land there are artists that have done paintings of David looking at Bathsheba taking a bath on her rooftop. Now it's not something I want in my living room mind you, but it certainly isn't sinful.
Yes and I am sure we are going to see what you mean....if you are sure you know what ...new age religion beliefs are?
If so give me the top 4 or 5 salient points ?...without consulting the subject person...or re-review of history posts....all directly or indirectly..

How bout we do one better? Why don't you point all the new age symbols in Magenta's art work? Then we can discuss new age religion.

You know when my father first came to church many years ago, a friend invited him and he was saved that night. But as a new Christian one day he was wearing blue jeans. And old "saint" stopped him and asked him if he knew the path to hell was paved with blue jean. smh Thankfully my father was able to ignore that, others may not. We must be careful we don't bar the way with false accusations, deeming something a cult that isn't, or telling a person they are hell bound when they aren't,
Did the old saint realize that your father was a new believer?

No...you don't get to write the narrative. I do.
We are speaking of your wrong assessment.......New age religion.

Just as I thought you know not.

Every single person here believes they are right according to the Word. If that is true, we should be able to sing "There's a Sweet, Sweet Spirit in This Place" and there isn't. Why?!
Pride, legalism and a complete lack of understanding regarding God’s grace by some.

Some folks hold themselves in such high regard there is no reason to bother to discuss anything.

Now you know as well as I do that some Christians are very immature...and that it requires years of beating by God to get them to grow up.

I could hear Paul when talking about "running the race" to the people "If you would get up off your butts and at least try to move":p

Because some...new age religion types...refuse to follow clear Bible language and God's intent.
Very simple.

Still waiting on an answer to my post. Point out the new age symbols in the art.

Strange, I wouldn't think that anyone presuming to know God's intent would be so reluctant to respond.

The hardest part of Heaven is not getting there, but staying there.

Some years ago it occurred to me that it's very easy for me to live in this
world, but Heaven would require a level of piety and self control that I was
pretty sure I couldn't keep up forever. Sooner or later I'd mess up and get
thrown out. But if it were just as easy for me to live in Heaven as it is for me
to live in this world, then for sure I'd never get thrown out of Heaven.

In other words: if only thinking, feeling, and acting like God came just as
natural to me as thinking, feeling, and acting like a human; then that would
be the cat's meow.

Listen, I can leave this argument with Magenta. She can speak for herself. But I am reaalllly getting tired of people on here accusing people of not being Christians when there is no evidence to "prove" that. There is nothing in what Magenta says or shares that would make anyone say " oh, she's new age". I've been here a long time, as she reminded me, I've been here longer than she has. Her posts are almost always from Scripture, the art she posts, same thing, almost always a Bible verse. So if you have the evidence, bring it forward. Don't accuse a person and then walk away. You should be able to give me several posts right off the bat, you should be able to show symbols in her art work that are new age. So, show the proof. Quit pickin' at the fur and get to the hide!!

Now you are getting smart.
