Jehovah.
That is you calling the faithful and discreet slave Jehovah.

The word "pagan" didn't even exist when the Bible was written, it was a word adopted during the Renaissance from the late Latin word "paganus". So you're wrong, the Bible doesn't indicate anything is "pagan".

Yeah? And what does this Jehovah wear when he's teaching you? You're just sticking a name on things you believe, you have no way of proving this Jehovah character is real, any more than someone who claims that leprechauns are their teacher.

No, I did not. I called God Jehovah.

I do, but not to someone who behaves like you do.

Not relevant.
You called your teacher Jehovah.

Correct.
Your teacher is the faithful and discreet slave. Jehovah teaches them and they teach you. Correct?

No. I've never met more than one of them, and that was a long time ago. If you are so interested, go to JW.org and request a Bible study. Someone will get back to you relatively quickly.

Cephus;
Why not either stick to your suicidal pagan activities, or learn about Jehovah. Pick one. Stop being self righteous and stop attempting to brush off the One who created you. If you continue, enjoy it, because it won't be very long, and the final battle will happen, and you will be gone as a puff of black smoke. Forever.

Ah yes, more mindless and irrational threats. Color me unimpressed.

Threats? What threats? Are you imagining things?
Cephus

You don't understand that "you will be gone as a puff of black smoke" is a threat? Interesting.

Posting an excerpt from a scripture is a threat? That's delusional.

You said “to comply with the secular authorities” but you “don’t vote”. Are you contradicting your own words? Do you think sports are evil?

No, I am not contradicting my own words. That's a pretty strange question. Sports aren't evil either. Glorifying a team is giving glory to someone or something other than God. All glory goes to God the Almighty. Not to a team, flag, person. Voting is being part of the world.

Christians do not give glory to a team but to God. Christians do not give glory to a flag but to God. Soldiers salute to a flag not because they are glorifying it in exchange to God. Have you heard of the “Pledge of Allegiance”? If one of your members decide to become a US citizen s/he would have to recite the "Pledge of Allegiance" to become one. S/He cannot say “it’s against my religion to recite the “Pledge of Allegiance”
