And there are people that have been running with this mindset but it's not consistent with the Christian realities
Your fellowship with God doesn't get broken Because you did something wrong
It's your heart/conscience condemning you but the Bible says God is greater than your conscience
That Fellowship is intact. Let's not be using our earthly father to describe God

And there are people that have been running with this mindset but it's not consistent with the Christian realities
That is in Deuteronomy 28, Where if you obeyed God He will get close to you
And when you don't He stays far from you
In the new testament the Bible says we are united to God. You can’t get any closer to God than that and sin doesn’t break that union.
See as a Christian all your sins are forgiven whether you confess them or not... Infact confessing does nothing when it comes to forgiveness
In this new testament the Bible says God has blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places
One of these Blessings, is the blessing of Fellowship with the Father
John said "... our Fellowship is with the Father and His son Jesus Christ"
Our Fellowship with God is based on the Finished work of Christ on the cross and not our behaviour
Every barrier between the Christian and God was removed and taken away by the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ
Because of Jesus Christ now, we can approach the Father without barrier

Although these beings had to be respected, not all of them were powerful enough to be considered gods. Offerings would be made to the spirits that had greater influence on human life. Spells and incantations would invoke their
Two known examples of such elemental spirits that had god-like status are Raja Angin (king of the wind) and Mambang Tali Arus (spirit of river currents). There were undoubtedly many more which have been lost to time
Contact with ancient India brought the influence of Hinduism and Buddhism to SEA. What we now call Hinduism similarly developed in India out of native animism and the more formal Vedic tradition. This can be seen in the multitude of sacred animals and location-specific Hindu gods
i wonder if you can make a thread bout witchcraft in malaysia.. or list of our own local gods/deites..

Animist ceremonies of a religious or magical nature were normally held for the purpose of divination or making a request. This would either be done at a keramat or at a shrine similar to the Thai spirit houses or Chinese roadside shrines pic.twitter.com/I1hliyi0x3
