Vampires in Christianity

Couple of days ago I was asking about the safety of vampires in New orleans, if the govt doing something or not. But all of a sudden a gora guy seriously got offended, for God knows what reason :confused: I mean, come on ! nobody was threatening to kill your stupid dog or something :rolleyes:

Anyways, What Christians think of Vampires ? Is drinking blood halal (allowed) in christianity ? Can vampires go to heaven or not, if they believe and Jesus christ and all christian beliefs ?

There seems to be close relationship as they show in movies that vampires get frightened by ā€œcrossā€ and they can only be killed by this cross or something similar.

Re: Vampires in Christianity

Vampire lore while having been around from the hellenic period, got it's christian flavor during the Rule of Vlad Tepes of Wallachia or Vlad the impaler, son of Vlad Dracul. Vlad Tepes was the thorn in the side of Sultan Mehmed who saw the horrors that Vlad Tepes unleashed on the Ottoman outposts in occupied lands of the balkans. Vlad the impaler was not only incredibly cruel to the ottoman forces, he once had an ottoman emmisary's helmet nailed to his head because he refused to prostrate and take it off infront of him. :)

WHile he was reviled by his own people and the ottomans for the atrocities committed healso had a legion of fans who saw him as a liberator against the ottoman machine. Legend has it that he was killed by the Janissaries, the private militia of the Sultan, and beheaded. His body was buried in Lake Snagov monstary in Romania or Svet Gorgi monstary in Bulgaria...and his head still waiting to be united and thus he is the undead. Since the monks of the era were the sole proprietors of knowledge for the masses, the links to christianity obviously developed.

Now go and close this thread...your lesson is over.

Re: Vampires in Christianity

PD - Backward Desi’s don’t know about Vampires, Its a European,Christian thing :flower1:

I appreciate your enthusiasm, but no use.

Gupguppy- I drink blood too sometime, but that does not make me thirsty for more. Vampires are Undead, and live forever, untill exterminated by some complex method. Like duracell. :k:

PCG - tum nahi samjho gi meri jan,

Christian perspective is required here please :flower1:

Re: Vampires in Christianity

it is stupid point Code red. There is no direct correlation between christianity and vampires other than fending of evil with crucifixes as per Bram Stoker. Now you can continue with your circle jerk. shabbash

Re: Vampires in Christianity

Yes sweety, They exist in herrendous condition, people hate them and fear them for no reason :frowning: they are God’s creature but still discriminated. Most famous is count Dracula, He lived in a castle in Romania. He is the only Romanian I know, Their Hero :k:

Re: Vampires in Christianity

Re: Vampires in Christianity

Oh yes, the turkish link is there, in Dracula story. but apart from that it is all christian.

Re: Vampires in Christianity

I respect your view :flower1:

But there is a whole wide world out site your soap opera

btw, soap operas got this name due to heavy commercial patronage by soap manufacturers and large number of soap ads during the commercial breaks :smack2:

Re: Vampires in Christianity

In the olden days over here in England the Christian clergy propagated the myth of vampires to hold onto their congregations, they would scare people with becoming vampires after death if they left the Church…

I think how it must have started was thieves and bandits must have used tombs and morgues for hideout places and only come out at night so people started mistaking them for vampires, also corpses would sometimes be stolen and people explained it by saying the person became a vampire and flew off… English people in the olden days actually use to go to check the graves of their loved ones to make sure they hadn’t turned into a vampire.

Re: Vampires in Christianity

you drink someone else’s human blood?.. wow!.. is that where you get the ā€˜Red’ in Code_Red… :slight_smile:

Re: Vampires in Christianity

Re: Vampires in Christianity

New Orleans is the city, where vampire lived happily, the citizen loved them and they were the tourists attraction, along with the above ground cemeteries :flower1: We have to rebuild it and make it alive and festive like it was for decades :k:

People in other parts of the world should also learn from the citizens of New Orleans in this regard.

Re: Vampires in Christianity

The theory/legend of Vampires has nothing to do with Christianity. It is a myth.

Christians, as Jews, are not allowed to eat/drink blood.

Re: Vampires in Christianity

^may be vampires have nothing to do with christianity but witchcraft has
