The goddess liberty!

[theefaith]

The goddess liberty, the idol is in New York harbor the statue of liberty! Represents rebellion, disobedience, spiritual pride that refuses to serve and be subject to proper authority scripture says disobedience to proper civil authority can lead to damnation, how much more religious authority established by Christ? Rom 13:2 1 Pet 13-23 the genesis of this rebellion is found in Protestantism!
The faithful obedience of true Christians long for total dependence on God our Father! And subject to Jesus Christ the King! And The proper ministers of His kingdom! Guided by the Holy Spirit! Acts 8 Jn 16:13

The 'genesis', as you put it, is found in people throughout the written scriptures and in the written histories of men as well as in the news media and our personal experiences with men today. It is the nature of the beast of any men acting without God. The Protestant Reformation occurred because of what men had been doing and had not been doing for a very long time before Martin Luther was born. As Solomon expressed it 3,000 years ago:

"The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.
Is there any thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us." Ecc 1:9-10

Jesus opened up new possibilities for men, but very few apparently have really been interested. The ones grouped with the Protestants who missed the mark as a whole are no better and no worse than men have always been... including those who counted as part of the Catholic Church both prior to and after the time of the so-called Reformation:

"Jesus wept." John 11:35

I would say that the Catholic Church has more of a connection to this goddess, called the "Queen of Heaven" (Jer. 7:18), than the Protestants. As far as I know, Protestants have no person that they recognize as their queen.

Idolatrous people create new gods for everything. Just because liberty was personified in ancient times, means nothing to us now. Who actually believes liberty is a goddess?

Liberty is best thought of as a gift from God. The bondage of sin, and the weight of the law, that was removed by Jesus Christ. That state of being free is liberty. That liberty makes the offering of our lives more valuable. To compell one to give, it lowers the value of an offering.

That is not true. First the Statue of Liberty is just seen as a statue OP not a goddess, the idea that it is more is nonsensical. The OP is the product of Scripture alone thinking they know more than anyone else.

You should read up on the Statue of Liberty.

Doesn't matter, it's what you do with it. No one is worshiping it.

I never understood why evangelicals are so skittish about everything.

Okay, so don't educate yourself. If you choose to read up on it, you may be surprised at what you find.

Not really. You see going down that road you would literally have to stop using everything like beginning with the days of the week which are named after gods and goddess, even up to forums and computers. Almost everything we use can be traced back to pagan Rome but it doesn't mean a thing because we do not use things in a pagan way.

I'm talking about one very specific thing. It is a fact that the Statue of Liberty was designed to represent the Roman goddess Libertas (also known by other names).

Mary and the Catholic Church did not exist at the time of Jer 7

but Mary ever Virgin Mother of God is queen of heaven and earth and queen of angels and saints

Actually, History, I wouldn't mind if we were using the old Jewish lunar calendar myself. Maybe it would encourage a supposedly Christian nation to be keeping the Jewish holidays like the early church did, instead of all this pagan stuff we do today.

Just saying. Sometimes it pays to be a little skittish.

She's saying the roots of goddess worship were laid well before Mary was born, and the Catholic church simply subsumed the practice in her name for the sake of appeasing the masses, much like how they Christianized the pagan holidays.

I would just add that the only times the Bible uses the term "Queen of Heaven," it's referring to this goddess.

Yes. The borrowing of the phrase with utter disregard for the Biblical context is itself highly suspect.

how about Is 7:14 Rev 12:1
Queen Esther is also a pagan goddess? Yes Esther is a type of Mary!

I sense a "tit for tat" merry-go-round coming, and we both know from previous conversations that I'm not much into that sort of thing. But thanks for the invite, Lol : )

Christ is not Christianizing pagan holidays but conquered the pagans all saints day is nov 1 to conquer the highest pagan holiday oct 31 now oct 31 is the vigil

did not borrow anything stop your assumptions that are based on your bias and spiritual pride, scales on your eyes

in the line of David it is automatic the mother of the king is queen, and Jesus is king of Heaven it is automatic that Mary must be queen of heaven
