Subject: how do i choose between wicca and christianity?help!! Author: Heather [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 11:06:52 02/11/03 Tue My name is Heather and i'm 15 yrs. I've been studing Wicca for almost 3 years now. But only recently have I've been battling between my new found calling(Wicca), and my Christian upbringing. I wish I could talk to someone I know, but both my mom and dad don't seem to understand. I worry about the afterlife (what's gonna happen to me if i'm split between two different religions?) It's really hard for me to pray to either God/ess, so my spiritual life has been put on hold. I really need some advice! [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

Also I 2 am stuck between my Wiccan >calling and Christianity, I've been trying 2 combine >them but it dosen't seem 2 work! I think, if you really think you have to choose once and for all, its a choise only you can make. Not your parents or friends or me...you alone. However there are people who are both wiccan and christian at the same time. I don't know much about the inner workings of Christianity, but you can honor the God and Goddess through Jesus and Mary if you want to. If you beleve "you can do whacha want long as it don't hurt nobody" (as my friend kaylee would put it) and obey the 10 comandments and want to confess when you do somthing wrong, I don't see anything wrong with that. You can go to church and still hold cerimonies and cast circles. But things like the devil and sin and accepting Jesus as supreme I'm not so sure about. One of things about wicca is most people who follow this religion don't believe in the devil. I don't. I guess you could anolage the devil like any other dark god. Another thing is sin. I don't believe in original sin or whatever, that all mankind is sinfull from birth or before that and its only through accepting Jesus that we can clense ourselves. If you believe that, well, thats a pretty christian principle to me. Like I said before, its up to you. But to me, faith is a thing thats always evolving. You may decide one thing now and eventually work your way in the other direction. I wish you (both of you cuz this is in responce to both even if its under the reply to the 1st one :) )the best of luck. Feel free to email me if you wanna talk. blessed be! Sara*

Feel free to email me if you wanna talk. >blessed be! >Sara* Hi Sara I do agree with you that it is up to the person to decide which ever way they want to go. I, however, do not agree with the fact that following the 10 commandments, confessing your sin and going to Church makes you Christian. That's what I would call being a luke warm Christian. True Christianity goes much deeper than that. Wicca and Christianity oppose eachother in all respects. Deuteronomy 18:10-11, Galatians 5:19-20 and Revelation 21:8 and many other scriptures tell us that. God, in the Bible, directly attacks lukewarmness. As you will see as well, you are given a choice by God (we were all given free will) but whatever choice you make, you have to bear in mind that you cannot be both at the same time. God wants to know who his children are. Either one or the other. Revelation 3:15 - 16-> (Verse 15)I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! (Verse 16) So, because you are lukewarm--neither hot nor cold--I am about to spit you out of my mouth. For all those that are still torn between the 2, I would want you to choose Christianity because of the love and grace of our saviour the Lord Jesus Christ and God our Father as a pose to Wiccan, which, according to Christianity, leads to death (physical and literal) and eternal suffering. I suggest that you pray to God and tell him sincerely how you feel. I would suggest that you go to your nearest Church and or find someone that is really strong in the Lord to help you with this and (especially to Sara) to tell you exactly what Christianity is about. You cannot make that choice as yet based on the information about Christianity you have. I may have repeated some of what Katie has said, but my aim was to help emphasise what she said and/or also build on that. - Chobz

Author: Sky Silverstar [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 17:55:59 02/23/06 Thu Hey my name is Sky and i saw your message and i thought i might be able to help. I also am in the same position, i was raised catholic (my dad's side of the family is really into it, so i guess i cant talk to any of them) but want to become a witch. Just think why do YOU want to become a wiccan NOT your family or friends. I decided to be a wiccan because it is more peaceful and has to deal with nature, life, animals, etc. I just feel more comfortable. Try this go one month without think or doing anything that has to deal with wicca, see how you do. then the next month do the same just with the religion you were raised with, see how you do. which one could you last longer doing. Hopefuly that helps you out at least a tiny tiny bit. If you want any other help you could e-mail me or maybe even my friend Ava if she wants. blessed be ~anytime you feel love for anything be it stone, tree, lover or child you are touched by the goddess's magick. ?

[> Subject: Re: how do i choose between wicca and christianity?help!! Author: Katie [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 07:30:00 05/08/03 Thu Hi Heather, it really sounds like you need help! Firstly, I want to explain that no real Christian can be a wiccan. You can't be both. Someone who is a Christian is not someone who is brought up in a Christian family - but someone who decides that they believe Christ was the son of God, died on the cross personally for them, to redeem our sinful nature, rose again,is the way for a believer to eternal life, and decides to follow Jesus. The Bible explains that the only way to God and the promise of eternal life is by a personal faith in who Jesus was and what he did. Salvation is not to do with the "good" you have done, but having faith. Wicca would be viewed by most Christians as allowing the Devil a foothold, unwittingly maybe. Secondly, it is a decision, as someone already said, only you can come to. Before you discount Christianity, have you actually tried reading the Bible and praying? Tell God how confused you feel, ask Him if he is real, and Christ was the Son of God, to convince you of it. I do not believe he wil fail to answer your prayer. Most people dismiss Christianity without ever testing it. There is also a good website which will help - www.rejesus.co.uk This is something of utmost importance. If you call yourself a wiccan and a christian then you do not know what it is to be a Christian. There are only two ways to live- to reject God which results in being condemned by God and death, or to rely on Jesus'death and resurrection, be forgiven by God and given eternal life: "Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God's wrath remains on him" John 3.36 Which way do you want to live? To accept wicca is to reject Christ.

[> [> Subject: Re: how do i choose between wicca and christianity?help!! Author: LadyMoonDragon [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 14:52:44 04/02/05 Sat Dear Heather, Do not be discouraged! I understand your being confused. Ask yourself what it is that YOU believe? Do not be concerned about what other people say you can not believe. Concentrate on your feelings and listen to what your heart tells you. If Wicca feels right to you stay with it. At the same time being Wiccan does not mean you have to completely give up your Christian values. There are ways to incorpate Christianity with Wicca. They can be merged together as a syncretic faith. It has been done already and there are many people on this path living proof of it everyday. This might be something for you to consider as an option. There are some against it(pagans + christians)but these folks are closeminded and do not tolerant other people well anyways so pay no attention to them. If you do decide to ever go this route there are resources out there for you. I wish you well on finding your path... Brightest Blessings, LadyMoonDragon

It's really hard for me to pray >to either God/ess, so my spiritual life has been put >on hold. I really need some advice! You don't have to choose. I have also studied for about 3yrs. There are many different "denominations" of wicca, as in christianity. On the outside wicca may seem very different from christianity but at the root they have many similarities. All the different "denominations" of wicca were made up by people like you and me that couldn't decide so my advice is to take a little from both religions and make up your own!(I'm considering doing the same thing and it will probably be a mix between christianity and kitchen wicca because I am a self practitioner)

[> [> Subject: Re: how do i choose between wicca and christianity?help!! Author: Mike [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 13:37:20 11/08/03 Sat Heather, This could possibly be the most important decision that you make. While Wicca suggests that you can have the "best of both religions" (goody-goody, now I don't have to choose) Christianity clearly states that you can't have it both ways. In fact, a check in your Bible (go ahead, dust it off) would show that God strictly forbids any form of witchcraft. Therefore that being the case, I feel that you are treading in dangerous territory and should carefully reflect what it is you want to do. Here is a suggestion. Take a moment to pray to both God and the Star Goddess (individually of course). Pray that the true deity reveal Himself/Herself to you. Then listen to your heart and decide from there....

[> [> [> Subject: Re: how do i choose between wicca and christianity?help!! Author: Shannon [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 12:29:27 03/08/07 Thu I dont know what I am, I can only tell you how I feel. I come from a family of "Christians" who constantly interigate, critisize, and pick apart everything that is not custom to them. They judge what they dont know and the are hypicritical. I've found that most Christians are that way. I love my family dearly but I refuse to be like that. This is almost made me turn my back to the religion, but in my heart I know God exists, I pray to him EVERY night and my 2 year old son prays to him as well. But in my time of need, the only thing that got me through was magick and faith in nature. Magick gave me a sense confidence, seeing what my mind can do, helped me to believe in myself. It gave me a peace when my life was so arupted. I only did good with my magick and it intrigued me. My Christian family found a book I was reading and blew everything up. They called me satanic and evil, they tried to lock me away. I had to turn my back on what i believed in, they only sain feeling I had, peace of mind. Every since, I've always wondered about it, and thought of it in my head, to scared to explore because of what my family might say. I am 21 now and I say F*CK everybody. I know who I believe in and I know what keeps my heart and mind leveled. There is a such thing as Wiccan and Christian. Both religions can pick each other apart (which doesn't seem very religious to me, what God promoted battle and turmoil?). I am what I am and only GOD can judge me! Blessed be!

I understand that you are torn between what feels right and what you are brought up to beleive because I have been there and I still am. If you feel wicca is right for you and you understand that it is a nature based religion, has no "devil" or any other evil being and do not worship it,you will not be able to wiggle your nose and poof instant clean room, and you understand that the creed "An it harm none, do what thou wilt" means that you do whatever you want(including combinding religions) as long as it doesn't hurt or manipulate others(no love spell making golden boy fall in love with you), than be wiccan.

Ok you must be getting tired of me but your posting hitt so close to home I wanted to try to help in any way posible. I forgot to tell you that I am the same age as you! I have grown up in christian schools all my life but was never a real church goer. I first had questions about christianity when I was little and my bible teacher said that anyone who wasn't a christian was going to hell. I have always had an open mind and couldn't accept this because I was always tought that God was forgiving so what I think would be a good idea is to *PRAY TO THE CHRISTIAN GOD AND TELL HIM THAT YOU ARE SORRY IF YOU ARE CHOOSING THE WRONG PATH BUT YOU HAVE TO DO THIS BECAUSE IT FEELS RIGHT TO YOU, IF HE IS THE SUPREME BEING THAN DON'T YOU THINK HE WILL LEAD YOU BACK TO HIM* there is nothing more you can do.

[> [> Subject: Re: how do i choose between wicca and christianity?help!! Author: Gemma [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 05:51:36 08/29/03 Fri I'm in the same situation as heather. I have been a christian for about a year and now am studying wicca. I have been reading tarot for about 3 years. I have built quite a relationship with god and belive i have had Godly and magickal experiences. I was a very strong christian not long ago and now am doubting my christian faith. Especially where it says in the bible if you do this or dont do that God will curse you blah blah. So why did God help me wheni asked for it even though i divinated? Do you know of the bible verse where it says - "There shall not be found among you anyone who practices divination, witchcraft, sorcery, or spiritism" ? Or any other similar verse cause i really need 2 sort my beiefs out.

[> Subject: Re: how do i choose between wicca and christianity?help!! Author: Katie [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 05:29:49 05/09/03 Fri I want to stress that I believe respect for others is a really important thing, so I do not want to cause offence, but there you have to be true to what you believe in.I am not telling people what path to follow- it is an individual's decision, but it is clearly misguided to think that wicca and Christianity can be combined. To say they can be combined is not to understand the central tenets of the Christian faith. The religions contradict each other in many ways. Christians believe in one God, Wicca believes in a God and Goddess. The Bible demands that you only worship one god. Christianity and Wicca teach totally different things about the nature of God, humanity, Jesus, sin, salvation, the Bible, and the purpose of life. They cannot come together. Wiccan teaching declares that Christianity is an unacceptable religion because it claims to have "the truth" and that Jesus is the only way to God. Jesus' claim to be the only way to God was proven, according to Christian thinking, when God raised him from death. K - I think it's a shame that your Bible teacher came down so strongly about hell- I think an emphasis on sin and punishment can have the affect it did on you. The God that Christians believe in is loving, faithful, merciful, forgiving, but he also can be angry when we stray. Forgiveness is what Christ bought for us on the cross, thus those who look to the cross are saved, according to Christian teaching. Christians would argue that those practising wicca fail to look to the cross. The emphasis in Christianity is not on sin and punishment and death, but on the fact that God's love has been so great for us that even though so many of us reject him, he sent his only son to die on the cross, for our sakes to give us a means to redemption. I understand that wicca is not a satanistic witchcraft practice, and forbids harmful spells, but the Bible is clear that any form of magick is wrong. God warned the Israelites: "There shall not be found among you anyone who practices divination, witchcraft, sorcery, or spiritism" The belief in the soul's rebirth into the physical world, when Christianity teaches that man will die once, is another way in which Wiccan doctrines differ from those of Christianity. Wiccans appear to believe in the divinity of human nature. Christianity, however, makes a distinction between God and man. Contrary to Wicca, Christianity teaches that there is something to be saved from and that there is a God outside the world to be both feared and obeyed.Man's need, according to Christianity, is to be saved from his sins and reconciled to God. This explains the significance of Christ for Christianity. **How can you claim to be wiccan and Christian whilst wiccans do not recognise this need, which is the pivotal point to Christianity?!** Thus wicca is entirely opposed to Christianity. That is not to say that wiccans cannot get along in harmony with christians. I believe religious tolerance is important in today's society. But at least understand the facts when looking at wicca and christianity, because what I'm seeing is a high level of ignorance concerning Christianity. (I'm aware I myself may be showing an ignorance of wicca - but I acknowledge that). The people on this board who claim the two religions can combine are ignorant about Christianity, what it means to be a Christian, and who exactly is a Christian.

[> Subject: EASY CHOICE! Author: WWW.SYRINX.TK [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 19:25:25 04/29/04 Thu Easy choice! If you need alot of rules to follow, and you want to sculpt your life into matching these rules, choose christianity! If you can run your own life and take responsibility for your own actions with no mandatory rules to follow, choose witchcraft! Basically, the need for rules is the bottom line of the choice.

Author: Morning [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 10:54:07 02/10/07 Sat Please, do not listen to people that say you can be a witch and a Christian at the same time... YOU CAN NOT!!! Simply put, Wicca is Witchcraft and they simply do not mix. They both contradict each other. Wicca states; "as long as it doesn't hurt anyone, do what you will"; now although I know Wiccans do not worship Satan, this is the exact same rule that the Church of Satan abides by. Wicca will tell you that magic is just "prayer with props" but it is still taking the glory away from God. Wicca reject the belief in Satan which means it rejects the Bible. Simply put, Wiccan's themselves are nice people but I don't think you should try to mix it with Christianity; just choose one or the other. Keep in mind, that if you are having struggles with your faith in Jesus, this is not nessecarly a bad thing. You just need to stick through the trials of your faith. Don't try and change or mix religions to make them better suit your liking. My name is Heather and i'm 15 yrs. I've been studing >Wicca for almost 3 years now.

Stay true to your Christian roots and you'll be okay. Religion won't save you, but a good heart and an acceptance of Christ as your Savior will.
