"Christian Wiccans"

i dont belive you can be a christian wiccan because thats 2 relgions you cant be 2 religons you can be eclecec yes thats what i am and its like the one thing that annoys me about christians they take parts of the bible follow it throw some of it away yet the believe they still have the right to yell at you for not following it and i already know i might get yelled at for stating this i just wanted to state my opinion

they are just doing what they believe is right, and there is no fault in those believes. although, this argument can stand to be toned down a bit.

besides, it is not 2 religions, just a form of christianity that sees no evil in the lighter magiks

I will ignore the fact this was originally posted in 2011, last saw life in 2011 and the user left the site because I did enjoy reading it. However, Bull, what are you talking about? Wicca and Christianity are two completely different faiths. Wicca is not a watered down version of Christianity [if that's what you meant] while I don't want to tell someone their religious views are wrong, as its been pointed out, you can't be a 'Christian Wiccan' because the bible is against witchcraft and praying to any god that's not 'God'. People see Wicca as an 'anything goes' path which is untrue, but in theory you could pray to 'God' from a Wiccan standpoint.

The majority of 'Christian Wiccans' I've met are basically in limbo between the two faiths. They could be trying to rebel or feel special but don't want to upset their God. Plus many people today pay lip service to the church. Basically they were born into a Christian household therefore they're Christian even though they can count the number of times they've gone to church on one hand. The problem is more they need to study and soul search so they can choose for themself. Granted if you've done that and still wish to blend Christianity and Wicca who am I to stop you? [It might come out like blending a brick into cream but if you've found what speaks to you whatever]

well, first, forgot to check how old this was, noobie mistake, second, lost track, didnt know if he was talking bout pagans or wiccans. thats my bad.

I too am ignoring the date it was set. Continued on, i am going to say one thing. The Christian religion, is extremely different from Wicca, just as Wicca is different from the Christian religion. These religion's are not the ''only'' way, as many people claim to be. Christianty was initially founded by pagan origins, that itself is just another aspect at how these religions, and every religion is very different, in the way it practices its beliefs, how it follows the religion, and thus this shows the difference between religion.

Growing up in a Christian househeld, is varied in terms of the family's associations. Christianty itself is not bad, but nor is it the best either. The same goes for wicca, and paganism. Each religion has something to teach. While christianty claims to be the ''right''/ ''only'' way, when it is not, that doesn't mean you can't live a healthy and foundational aspect in life. Since each religion has a varied aspect of teaching, it has a varied aspect of religion. This is how our world foundation came into existence. Spirituality is the highest commandment you can have. No matter what religion, or assertive aspect you follow, if what you do feels right to you, and for you, as well as having the ability to follow the religions rules, or morals, you should in reality, be able to have and life, a nourishing foundational, and assertive life, healthily.

With that said, i in my belief, i say you can't be christian wiccan. As previously stated above in posts, these traditions are majorly varied, and Christianty is very stereotypical in terms of compassion of beliefs. Rhus growing up in a christian household, you learn what is appropriate, and unappropriate. You learn all on it's so called, ''origins'', as well as its morals which i had thrown down my throat. I don't bash other religions for the past history in our society's back then. We have enough hate, and discrimanation in this world`, mostly due to religion, and the, ''right'' way.

Everyone is entitled to their beliefs, so long as it's not harming anyone. You don't have to like it, no on us asking anyone to like, or even agree with their beliefs. In my opinion, yes. Christian Wicca can exist. God as the God, Mary the Goddess, Jesus representing the cycle of the year following the Wiccan wheel, all the while preaching the Gospel. Now I definitely don't agree with the concept, but it's possible.

Lets also not forget, any condemnation of witchcraft in the bible is the condemnation of Canaanite Magic, not magic done through God's most high and holy name. Just something else to think about.

This subject has been "flogged to death". I will say it one more time. The idea of a Christian/Wiccan is as ridiculous as a Christian/Muslim! Or a Muslim/Buddhist.

Hopefully I am not too late to add to this! The idea of a Christian Wiccan is not as ridiculous as people write it off to be. You have to keep in mind that Christianity is very interpretive because the Bible wasn't written in English. Some of the translations of the Bible are more specific than others; one might condemn black magic and another might condemn all magic. http://www.religioustolerance.org/wic_bibl5.htm
^This is a good site to check out if you want a better understanding of other religions.
You also have to keep in mind that many people who claim to be "Christian" don't always follow the Bible to it's fullest extent either.

I believe it is impossible to be a traditional wiccan and a traditional Christian; maybe I'm wrong. In conclusion Christian witchcraft is plausible, but Christian Wiccan is debatable. Sorry for further beating this topic.
