The Repentagram is a new Christian symbol that was designed and created by members of the Christian Metal Band called Impending Doom.
The Repentagram's nine points symbolize the nine fruits of
the Spirit.
The fruit of the Spirit is stated in Galatians 5:22-23 are love,
joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness,
self-control.
The circle symbolizes eternity and never ending power and
majesty of God.
The star is a symbol of God's guidance and blessing whether
right-side or up-side down, it is irrelevant because it is the amount of sides
that make the difference.
4 points = the form of the cross
5 points = The Bethlehem star/ divine grace
6 points = The Star of David/ man and rebellion
7 points = the gifts of the Spirit/ Spiritual perfection and fullness or completion
8 points = the star of regeneration/ salvation, resurrection, and new birth/regeneration
9 points = Fruits of the Spirit/finality or judgment

disorganization, unfulfillment, imperfection

Some may say that they can still see an inverted pentagram
within the repentagram. I say, they are reaching. I would argue that the
Christian fish symbol used to be a pagan symbol as well and used in pagan god
worship. However, overtime Christians adopted it as a major Christian symbol.
“The pentagram may be inverted with one point down. The
implication is of spirit subservient to matter, of man subservient to his
carnal desires. The inverted pentagram has come to be seen by many pagans as
representing the dark side and it is abhorred as an evil symbol. Fundamental Christians,
indeed, see any form of pentagram as such.
However, these are recent developments and the inverted
pentagram is the symbol of Gardnerian second degree initiation, representing
the need of the witch to learn to face the darkness within so that it may not
later rise up to take control. The centre of a pentagram implies a sixth
formative element - love/will which controls from within, ruling matter and
spirit by Will and the controlled magickal direction of sexual energies. This
is another lesson of initiation.”
“Up until medieval times, the five points of the pentagram
represented the five wounds of Christ on the Cross. It was a symbol of Christ
the Saviour. This is in stark contrast to today where the pentagram is
criticized by modern Fundamentalist Christians, as being a symbol of evil.
The church eventually chose the cross as a more significant
symbol for Christianity, and the use of the pentagram as a Christian symbol
gradually ceased.”
There’s nothing evil about a pentagram. It’s just a symbol
and what meaning you apply to it, is your meaning. If the band Impending Doom
applies a special meaning to a special symbol that they created, it means what
they want it to mean and not what meaning others place upon it.
Therefore, the REPENTagram represents the eternal Jesus Christ calling us to repent of our sins and allow the Holy Spirit to guide us.

you people don't have the slightest clue to what a pentagram stands for to pagans, yet you still try to mock it, disrespect it,and morph it according to your own will... You have no idea how much "Prana" is represented and can be conjured by that symbol... Its one of the most intrsic and vital symbol to exist and yet people cling to their narrow minded bible and religion to discriminate the symbol... Shame! what has become of humanity...
ReplyDeleteI hope u find jesus
DeleteThe Symbol used in Christianity (I should not say Christianity but of Christian Demonology) represents Baphomet, a Prince of Hell and one of the subservient's of Lucifer, so what you think it means is applied to you, but what we think it means is applied to us.
DeleteThe repentagram is an enneagram. Penta means 5 and there are 9 sides here. Enneagram does indeed also have historical ties to the fruits of the spirit

Well, I would say it is what the user/wearer believes it to be. Some people think that skulls are evil. I disagree. I actually like them. God created them. We all have one. It's a bone and no more evil than a shin bone.
ReplyDeleteYou are on the edge of a logical fallacy, my friend. In a condensed summary of your explanation, "Since the early church started the fish symbol, then Impending Doom can start another symbol and call it "repentagram". A pagan symbol is a pagan symbol. Do you know about the pagan origins of the Enneagram (self-absorbed Eastern Philosophy concept)? Before you continue to defend this pagan concept, I would suggest you do some research on it. BTW, we as followers of Christ, do not need a (symbol) to tell us about the 9 Fruits of the Spirit.
