I'm certainly not a prophet. God did not send an angel to reveal a new revelation to me, unless the blogger known as DrAndroSF is an angel in disguise. If I am founding a new neo-paganism, it is out of the musings of my own mind with input from trusted sources, not divine revelation. Does it have potential if I went public with it? Perhaps. Do I make claims to have a final and complete revelation? No. I could be wrong. I probably am. But that doesn't change the fact that this makes sense to me, that this resonates with me in a way I can't ignore. <br /><br />I make no demands of conversion, or even necessarily invite others to convert. I can only present my beliefs when asked and hope for interest. <br /><br />God help me, I can do no other. <br /><br />-SeanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38413397.post-68700117674520805512013-09-28T18:13:32.160-07:002013-09-28T18:13:32.160-07:00Even in grade school, I could quote the King James...Even in grade school, I could quote the King James Bible better than the New American Bible or Jerusalem Bible, the bibles we were supposed to quote from in class. It still strikes me as one of the most poetic translations of the Bible, definitely a triumph of the English language. Too many modern translations sacrifice art for accuracy and/or accessibility. A shame. <br /><br />-SeanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
