Can you still believe in God if your pagan?

Question

When i say God i mean God as in the Bible God

Answer 1

Absolutely. The pagan Gods and Goddesses are merely aspects of the one Divine, all in all, God.

The best way I've heard it explained is this. For example, Goddess Laxshmi in Hinduism. She is the Goddess of wealth and beauty, supreme blessings, etc. She is one aspect of the Divine, and not separate in any way. When you concentrate on Laxshmi, you are only relating to a part of the entire Godhead - just that aspect of the Divine which is the beautiful and abundant.

In Celtic Pagan practice, take Cailleach for example. She is the Goddess that delivers swift and powerful Divine justice. She is that part of the Divine, the part that comes back to bite a person when they do wrong to another.

We all understand "God" in many ways, and the God and Goddess figures are all part of the one. Many in outer appearance, but one in reality.

Hope that helps.

Answer 2

No, you cannot.

The basis being, that Yahweh of the Bible despises all other deities and is a very jealous and vengeful deity who has previously commanded the specifics of ritual and ideals that are to be upheld by those who choose to follow Him.

Thus to continue to worship Yahweh outside of the context of the rules He has already written would be doing a great disservice to Him as well as to yourself.

Yahweh frowns upon the use of witchcraft, divination, statues, belief in spirits, and honoring any other deity than Himself.

So no, you cannot believe in Yahweh and be a Pagan. Paganism being the various religions, beliefs, and practices that take origin in the pre-Christian native religions of the European and Mediterranean world.

Answer 3

As a Pagan you can believe in as many Gods as you wish. You can even continue to believe in the No-name God.

Answer 4

From my understanding, the days of the week are named after Pagan gods or goddesses, so Pagans believe in multiple gods.

Answer 5

I don't understand your question. Many pagans believe in gods, goddesses, and such.

St. Paul addressed this when he went to Athens, in what could be called "the Parable of the Unknown God." He commended them for their belief in God, but said that the Unknown God of the one temple was the best and most true.

Answer 6

Of course-only fools say there is no God, All demons and the Devil himself believe in God. Being pagan and rejecting the commands of Jesus will cause you to have your part in the lake of fire with the hypocrites, liars, fearful, abominable, and such.
The worship of things and objects will not deliver you when judgement day comes- flee this generation of ungodly influences, repent, and ask Jesus into your life for real. Get a bible and feed on Gods word and do what it says. Don't listen to religious or church biased people that don't do Gods Word. "He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose."

Answer 7

Belief in a Diety, male, female, many or one, is central to paganism.
Usually, though, the Judeo-Christian concept of 'God' is not believed. Instead a more general, sometimes multifaceted Diety is worshipped.
Read, go to open ceremonies, question long-standing pagans, look inside yourself and find Diety there, then ask yourself 'what Diety do I believe in? How do I picture the same?' and create what you think the One should look like or be...

Answer 8
