No where does Christ/Yeshua/Jesus state “Christianity” is the only way. Rather He said He Himself is the Way, Truth, and Life. The term “Christian” was applied to church of Antioch by the Roman government at that time. My point being the term can be overused misapplied distorted.

I’ve been watching secular documentaries which document how the Vikings attacked and pillaged the Monasteries taking the surviving Christians as slaves. Many Christians did it abandon their faith and practice even while enslaved. Intermarriage with practicing Christian believers led to the organic growth of the faith. Christian mysticism has a power of its own that I would guess challenged the mystical Norse practices. Christian mystics see, hear, and, follow directives from apparitions of Jesus, the Holy Spirit, etc. The fact that enslaved people did not capitulate to the Norse practice and were martyred in instances is some evidence of the enduring foundations of Christian religious experience.

Destiny isn’t something one should even imagine they have control over. Let it go and listen to no man but follow yourself for each step shall be steady and true. Only one woman knows our individual demise and we can either look foolish faking our intellect on the matter or embrace the now and soak it up. Either way it all has meaning and is the way as ignorant and naive as it sounds yet I am but a man with no more understanding than the next so I digress.

If you waited too long man or woman there was stigma and would be called ” fleeing from penis/vagina” depending on the appropriate gender.

I appreciate your post.
I am of Norse heritage but we weren’t always Norse or Scandinavian. Although some may have arrived there earlier than others.
Research who we were before we were Norse. Ostrogoths, Goths. We came through the Pass of Israel in the Caucus(caucasion) Mountains and became the Scythians.
Herodotus the historian noted that Israel dwelled beyond the black sea and were too many to count. Israel wanted to be like the pagan nations and the God of the bible said ok and so they forgot Him directly. They became the Sycthians.
Christianity is the coming of the Messiah the Israelites always hoped for even in their paganism and did not realize this until they came to Great Britain. Britain means covenant people. Here we came out of our paganism and became Christian.
Our people are under attack because we wont obey Gods laws. Even His natural laws. We are guilty of being complacent. Having a lack of morals and boundaries.
Anyone can claim to be anything, its the fruit we need to look at.

My Norse Brother!
We were called various peoples before we were Norse. The length of time we were in Scandinavia pales in comparison to the centuries spent as Scythians let alone when we were Ostrogoths, Goths. Spiritual beliefs did in fact change with the language, although our ideas about the gods did carry through out our generations.
We were always the fiercest warriors. Christianity did not change that. In fact Christianity brought us together once again as a people in Europe as were once in Sythia, and or Palestine.
Our complacency and lack of keeping our peoples separate is ruining us.

You wont find ” Real evidence” Of anything on the internet.
Hence Norse Predated Christ.

Its best you Drop Your thoughts on Norse.
You dont Understand Us, We never Were called Vikings, But Vikingrs.
why els would The Devils Bible “Kings Book” Be about us,
our Germanic Past predating All Source of Religion on Earth.
