It's definitely the same star/symbol, but what Face-Me is saying they have different symbolic intentions. It doesn't make one any less than the other.
This is the thing though, Smiley, who told the Jews who they could and could not worship? Why did Jesus get a pass and hate on Solomon when he, as you describe it, was just thunder thiefin.... If God is in ALL things, then are not ALL things God.....? I comprehend the whole creator vs created argument, but I feel that is a defense mechanism to not answer the question. Mind you, Jesus was a creator of nothing but rebellion, the power of the 13.
Q
I can understand the different intentions but its like the ring itself. Catholics use it even tho its pagan origins. When I got married the priest said it was fine that we didnt want to use rings to show our bond it was never a catholic thing; its pagan. And for me whether or not the intention is good its still pagan. Like using a satanic candle and trying to bless somebody. The intentions are good but your using the wrong thing. So does intentions overthrow the symbol? For me it doesn't.
So face me, do you agree its remphans star but they used it for "good" even tho God says to not use it?
On acts 7 41 -43 God is talking to them.
And King David was thr best king according to scripture, he did everything he was told to. When he died he left it all to solomon who was to do the same. But like I said before , he left God and worshipped other gods. Its mostly all written in Kings. He had slaves, married 700 wives. Built temples for moloch and hundreds of other gods. So he was NOT the king David was nor the king God wanted him to be.
God gave solomon what he wanted and MORE yet he turned away. At the end of the day its up to US if we want to follow or not. Perfect example is all of the Book of Job. I finished it a couple months ago, it still resonates with me.
We have to discern good from bad. That is the gift/curse we have as humans. If it was up to God we would all be good, but since we have to CHOOSE between good and evil its up to US. I forget what passage it was but it was God talking to an angel and the angel said, look those men are bad amongst the good should we weed then out? And God said, No. For you could damage the good ones while cleaning the bad, let them be.
