Christian/Wicca. .. is it possible to be both?

Question

Wicca Is NOT WORSHIPING THE DEVIL.. .its about celebrating the earth, though they do believe in a father and a mother god.

Answer 1

YES! It is! But they would be known more as a Deitist. I am Wicca, my husband is Asatru, my Baptist roots grow deep and my daughter who moved in with us when she was 12-1/2 was just as ignorant as most of the zealouts in the Bible belt. We encouraged her to continue with going to church & worshipping Jesus, and only on occasion when she and her brother were involved in a special event did we go to that church to give our moral support. She still goes to church when her Christian friends ask her, but she is also open minded enough to enter the sacred circle with the coven.
As for Devil Worshipping- it stands to reason that you have to believe something before you can worship it, looks to me like the Christians are the ones here with the issue. As for the casting of spells- As long as evil is not done to another in the of God, I suggest you read 1 Peter Chapter 4:15-17 then go back and read verse 14! Also you might want to consider re-reading the little bit in the Bible about judging not, lest ye be judged?! Until you have taken the time and effort to understand another's beliefs/spiritual path and understand what its about don't be so quick to condemn it. I have friends that are Christian and know that I am not, and yet they welcome me into their homes and love me for who I am, accepting what I am and do not judge because they know my heart and that 98% of the Wiccans in the world will not cast spells to harm another person. Our Wiccan Rede/Tenets or Crede is parallel with the 10 Commandments...all in all we are all just on different paths to the same source.
As for the Patriachal issue, many of us Wiccans who went from Christianity are burned out on it...you Christians can get along with just one male figure running things....we Pagans need the male & FEMALE balance....Father Sky/ Mother Earth or in the terms I have helped Christians back to their original faith of Christianity ....Jahova/Mary (she did have his son, didn't she?) so she could be considered a Goddess!!! If it helps someone be a better person and feel better about themselves then why harp on it? If they are being good, not harming anyone (including themselves) not causing mischief to others (metaphysical or mundane) then back off and give them some room! Not everyone can be constrained to such rigid formalities. Some people or should I say its half & half, but for argument's sake lets say some; fit quite easily into the rigid constraints of Christianity, just like some Pagans fit easily into the more formal rigid constraints of Gardnerian and or Alexandrian Wicca. Each to their own.
I personally, believe that yes, there is one Supreme Creator, but I also after years of being beaten and thrown through the walls of our home over sanctimonious self righteous so-called Christians, actually its a miracle I didn't turn out as a Satanist!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So to answer your question, yes you can be BOTH!!!!!

Answer 2

Well to me I think anyone on this earth can be whatever they want to be in religion. You can be as many as you want to. As for myself.....I grew up once as Catholic, then Baptist, and now I'm wicca. I just go with the flow, I believe that there is no harm in believing, going to another religion. And the name God has many names. God is just a title. So I believe that you can be both, that is not wrong nor harmful. And there are good and bad in every religion. Yes I'm wicca, but I chose to do good. My mother told me never do bad, cause you will have pay back coming back to you three times. But do what I have done go with your heart, your heart is most the time the truth of life.

Answer 3

How can someone belong to 2 completely diverse faiths? Wiccans are in many cases Polytheistic; Christians could say their faith is Monotheistic. How can all of us be the two? Wicca is a Pagan faith; Wiccans hook up with the god and goddess and from time to time different deities. Wiccans don't think in 'unique sin' nor do they save on with the 'new' testomony, nor do they worship Jesus. So how can a Wiccan be a Christian, and how in the international can a Christian be a Wiccan??? isn't smart!

Answer 4

According to the Christian Faith, no. One has only to look to the ten commandments for that.

"I am the lord your God and you will have no other gods before me."

Wiccans pretty much worship the earth and/or a goddess.
However, wiccans are not satanists and some of the ideas and theories from wicca can be applied and recognized within christianity. The fact that Wicca is so often confused with witch craft makes most christians aprehensive at this idea. However, they share many points.

Answer 5

Yes and no. You could not be a christian by definition, because christianity is very strict about there being no gods but theirs. However, there is nothing wrong with being a Wiccan who believes that the god of the christians exists, that Jesus lived and was resurrected. Just don't expect christians to get it or understand.

Answer 6

not if you were a christian in the first century according to acts ch.19:19
not if you believe the old testament which says do not practice apocathary,
or if wiccans believes in making potions of natural substances, that actually dont Heal.

Most precisely, if a wiccan worships another God, God has commanded not to bow down to any other god or worship idols or worship the queen of heaven.

definitely NOT, if a wiccan practices temple prostitution or suffers other to be, or if they believe in fornication at a more simpler level.
Not if their creed tells them they have authority with God
or if they usurp the family and undermine Undefiled Religion.

if a wiccan is not guilty of rebellion against God, i would find it hard to believe they are not free of sin on the above counts of transgression.

However, there are those that claim to be "healers", and there are just as many healers who claim to be righteous and undefiled. So i cannot personally judge anyone individually.

i do know that some secrets do offer healing, but i ask at what price and who gets rejected while others suffer even at the hands of healers?

Answer 7

Absolutely no,There is one God,who forbids all that a pagan Wicca stand for.You can not worship the earth,you will perish with it, You can not follow around gods and goddesses.

Answer 8

I don't believe so. Because as far as I understand it Wiccans generally worship both a God and Goddess. Although there appears to be at least on group who worship 'The One' (the "Prime Mover")

Despite this they seem too different in their fundamental beliefs. But I'll be interested to see what others think.
.

Answer 9

I don't think so. I'm a deconverted Christian making my way into paganism. I've found that Christianity is very harsh on all other religions and there's all sorts of passages in the NT condemning what it consideres "witchcraft". I guess it's possible, but I think the majority of Christians would be against it.

Answer 10

I don't think so.

Wicca puts nature and the Goddess as the divine, while Christianity puts God alone in the divine.

Wiccans generally practice some form of magick, while Christianity prohibits use of the occult.

Wiccans generally are very open and non-exclusionary. Christianity is very exclusive.

Answer 11

You cannot serve 2 masters. There is nothing wrong with enjoying the earth, but there is only 1 God, and He doesn't have a wife!
