Ok, so I may as well open
with a real fire starting debate…
I read on Facebook today – (while reading about NC’s vote on Gay marriage) that someone claimed to be a Christian –Wiccan
This is not the first time I have heard of this and I have no idea how it could possibly work.
I am Wiccan and I do believe that Christ was here, but I am seriously wondering how someone could say these two belief systems can be blended.
Now, I know in Genesis it says that the planets are in the heavens for signs – but I’m pretty sure they are talking about planting, not seeing the Moon as a Goddess energy, or condoning the use of astrology.
And I know the Christians hi-jacked almost all our holidays – and that in 325AD the council of Nicaea declared Yule a mass for Christ, and that Easter is still calculated from Ostara, being the first Sunday after the first full moon after the equinox.
But, if someone is actually using the Bible as their book of truth – and really understands Christianity – How can it possibly be “blended” with any other religion? Especially Wicca. Correct me please but, if you are claiming to be both aren’t you really neither.
Perhaps a look into a religion that blends spell work and the Saints might be a better fit hey?
Maybe I’m just a crusty old Witch – But I just don’t see how you can be a Christian-Wiccan, so please enlighten me.
How do you believe in Satan and have no Satan in your belief system at the same time?
How do you “Take no Gods before me” and believe in a Goddess?
No where in the Old Testament do they allow Witchcraft or even condone divination -
Saul died for seeking council with the Witch of Endor -1st Samuel 28- and in Exodus 22:18 it plainly states “Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live” Now, Paul does go a little radical in 1st Corinthians 10 about the powers people can work up to, but it’s a stretch to allowing Witchcraft. – For some how would you reconcile things like Leviticus 19:28 – no tattoos
So again, HOW do you “blend” these 2 very different belief systems into a system that is true to either????
Let the enlightenment begin
