Gentile

"Gentile" is a characteristic of a man who does not recognize, rejects God's Commandments as his guide for life, who obeys and serves not God, but everything that is contrary to His Will. It is a man who serves his self-love, his selfishness. 

"Pagan" is one who gives his time, his health, his strength to the sinful deeds of "human hands," to everything that has only a material basis and purpose. One who has turned material values into his "idols."

"Pagans" are members of the various religions of the world who not only do not themselves do the Will of the One God, do not act according to the Doctrine and example of the life of Jesus Christ, but by their false teachings destroy the Truth of God's Word in other people.

"Paganism" today is the worship of various "gods" in the literal and figurative sense - political and religious "priests," cults of material prosperity. It is a complete surrender of man, to a chosen deity, idol, idol.  It is worship of various philosophies, ideologies and their founders.

    It is also the worship of so-called "relics", (dried up corpses, their parts) images, cult constructions and objects, symbols of various religious attributes, ceremonial festivities, deification of certain personalities. 

It is a belief in mysticism, religious occultism, everything that contradicts the Will of God, the Teachings of Christ.
