Christianity is based on both pagan and jewish beliefs. Does that mean that christians are half pagan half jewish?

well, a third of each.
a third pagan, a third jewish, and a third christian.
when i say christian i mean the religion that paul invented based on the teachings of jesus.
they celebrate the winter solstice, calling it christmas, the have the ten commandments and monotheism, which is jewish, and they have you must accept jesus as your personal savior which is christian. among other things. these are just the most obvious examples.

Christianity is not based on pagan beliefs. Beyond that we are not based on Jewish beliefs either. Every word of Jewish law and prophecy is correct, and it all points to Jesus. To be based on pagan beliefs would imply that Christianity is not true but is instead a made up phylosiphy composed of other religions beliefs.

The Old Testament is stolen from Jewish beliefs. A majority of both the Old and New Testaments are stolen concepts from pagan beliefs. For example, Jesus' birthday was a PAGAN holiday. They were trying to steal the day the pagan's had as their "holy" day and make it into something good to them. Also, baptism is also a pagan concept. The Bible is a rip off of pagan, gnostic, egyptian religions.

Nope, I'm a good ole fashion mutt. I'm neither pagan nor Jewish. Christianity, at least the Christianity I know and practice, is based upon Christ and the Bible. Therefore, it does have roots in Judaism, but I'm not Jewish or even half Jewish.

No, Christianity was not or is not based on pagan beliefs. Just the facts.

Your statement is not accurate. Paganism was removed from the jewish people after Moses as a matter of fact it was purged from them.
Christianity should be considered an extentsion of Judism. In the Garden of Eden God slaughtered an animal to cover Adam and Eden which was a picture of the MESSIAH TO COME.The innocent dying in the place of the guilty

WRONG!
Christianity is based on the teachings of CHRIST, not paganism. Judaism does have an influence, but minimal.

christianity is derived from judaism. pagans do not believe in god and worship idols. judaism was the first religion to beleve in one god. christianity came from that.
