who said anything about serve two gods.
In the article I have read it is base on a book of Gods since you keep bring it up and they name Jesus and Mary. I have studied catholic church and find it so much like a Christian_wiccan path.

Hi there.. the condescending answers here are amazing.. especially after you asked specifically for christian wiccans. I'm not one of them, but I'm also not about to tell someone what path they can or cannot follow.
Here's a link to a site about christian wicca.
I wish you well on your path:

Hmm I too are not able to see how you can mix Christianity and Wicca into one. The 2 have very distinctive ideals. If any person calls themselves Wiccan, however believes Christ to be their follower, then they are not able to consider within the lifestyles of multiple god, consequently making them now not Wiccan. The significance of any faith is it is important perception...the only factor that keep all different forms of it is branches in combination (i.e believing in Christ is the only factor that bonds a Catholic and a Baptist and believing in god and goddess is the important factor that bonds a Gardnerian and Alexandrian Wiccan). Of direction there also are different elements that may be when put next, corresponding to a perception in an afterlife, but so much religions bring the equal perception. So in which can a Christian bond with a Wiccan? How can any person consider in Jesus Christ as their savior, but move towards their faith and consider within the lifestyles of multiple god? Setting info apart there are folks in a Christian department known as Gnostic's, which might be the extra open-minded/non secular variant of Christianity. Spiritually we proportion a few features, however total our ideals are nonetheless significantly distinctive. And do not confuse Witchcraft with Wicca both...there are folks available in the market who declare to be one faith or haven't any faith and train Witchcraft. That does now not cause them to Wiccan. So prairie, such as you I are not able to see how any person can also be each Wiccan and Christian. "I for my part do not see how that would occur with out bending one or the opposite (or each) up to now out of form that the time period "Christian" and/or "Wiccan" could not observe to the outcomes." I agree absolutely. I'm interested even though to learn the feedback of folks that disagree with us. Good query! Deserves a celebrity! Love and light-weight, Blessed Be

Many wiccans do not see a problem with this. In fact, since many Wiccans understand the mystery and myth of belief structures, they know it is another way to be social, to observe many of the days associated in these belief systems. While also many Wiccans do not find Christianity to be a viable belief structure. It is entirely up to the individual as Wicca is not dogmatic (having a set of rules that dictate actions).

First, I want to state that I have known several Wiccans, and from my encounters, they have been very kind and sincere people. They actually have a lot of values that I can respect.
But, the term "Christian Wiccan" is an oxymoron. To be a Christian is to be a Christ follower. And, to be a Christ follower, you MUST follow His teachings. That established, you cannot harmoniously combine the two belief systems without drastically altering one to suit your preferences. And, and altered Jesus is a false Jesus - one who cannot save you no matter how sincerely you believe in your altered version.
How would a Wiccan reconcile these verses with their beliefs:
Jesus said, "I am the way and the truth and the life. NO ONE comes to the Father except through me." -John 14:6
"Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved." -Acts 4:12
Don't Wiccans believe that the individual must choose their own path and that all paths lead to the same place? Jesus refuted this belief:
"Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it." -Matthew 7:13-14 (Jesus referred to Himself as the gate).
Pagan worship is not acceptable to God:
"Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth." -John 4:23-24
"...the sacrifices of pagans are offered to demons, not to God, and I do not want you to be participants with demons. You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons too; you cannot have a part in both the Lord's table and the table of demons." -1 Corinthians 10:20-21
"What harmony is there between Christ and Belial?" -2 Corinthians 6:15
(Before anyone bashes me, yes, I know that Wiccans claim they do not worship demons. But, Christians believe there is only ONE God of the universe, and that God is the One who says that sacrifices offered to any "god" other than Him are, in reality - whether the person realizes it or not - offered to demons).
So, I honestly don't see how these two conflicting belief systems can be logically combined. You can "thumbs down" me all you want, but it still doesn't change the fact that the term "Christian Wiccan" makes about as much sense as a "Pro-life abortionist" or a "Republican Democrat".

Neo-Paganism, of which Wicca is a part, generally has no univeral dogma or creed you must adhere to, unlike Pauline xtianity. 'We' mostly don't care, but your fellow xtians may want to figuratively, or literally, burn you at the stake.
Even though nominally a christian church, "Unitarian Universalism" has many NeoPagan chapters. The "Church of All Worlds", http://www.caw.org ,might be an interesting, er, ... trip around the sun.

I'm sorry, hun.
I know that many of the so-called Wiccan Christians say that pepole say you can't be both because they are afraid of change, but really, you can't be both.
To be a Christian, you have to believe in salvation and sin, and that another can take responsibility for your actions.
Wicca has no sin, and YOU are responsible for your actions.
Read more about both religions, then pick one.

You cannot be both. You are either Christian or not. You cannot serve two masters. You are either a child of God's or a child of the devils. If you read in the Bible, God hates witchcraft. This is the reason the two do not mix.

I agree with CJ, I dont have anything against wiccans, or Christianity or any other form of spirituality/religion.
The Christians believe that Wicca is of you. You do spells etc. Not sure thats what ive been told.
And Christianity is of God. God heals etc, not you, but works through you.

I don't understand how people think you can combine the two. A religion that only recognizes the masculine in the universe as opposed to a religion that exalts both sexes as equal and powerful? They may prove me wrong, but it would like trying to combine a cat and dog into one animal. And the show on Nick does NOT count as evidence that that works.
