I understand that there is complexity and nuance to everything and this is just meant to be an introduction & my personal beliefs. This is just my personal understanding of the differences between Paganism and Christianity so take everything I mention with a grain of salt. So for this video & blogpost I want to share what I view makes the Pagan worldview so fundamentally different from Christianity. However, there are some huge differences between the Pagan & Christian lifestyle and worldview that would make combining these two faiths difficult. If you’re looking from the Pagan perspective the idea of combining Christianity & Paganism is a bit more possible because as Pagans we can always add on an additional deity, which in this case would be the Christian God, into our religious practice. From a Christian perspective the answer is definitely NO as in Christianity you must only believe in the one ‘true’ God. This is a difficult question as it depends on what perspective you're coming from. If you want to see that trend reversed, turn to Pagan Christianity.a book that examines and challenges every aspect of our contemporary church experience.One of the most common questions I receive is if someone can be both Christian and Pagan. One of the most troubling outcomes has been the effect on average believers: turning them from living expressions of Christs glory and power to passive observers. Pagan Christianity leads us on a fascinating tour through church history, revealing this startling and unsettling truth: Many cherished church traditions embraced today originated not out of the New Testament, but out of pagan practices. The New Testament is not silent on how the early church freely expressed the reality of Christ’s indwelling in ways that rocked the first-century world. Yet those practices look very different from those of the first-century church. Many Christians take for granted that their churches practices are rooted in Scripture. Co-authors Frank Viola and George Barna support their thesis with compelling historical evidence in the first-ever book to document the full story of modern Christian church practices. Have you ever wondered why we Christians do what we do for church every Sunday morning? Why do we "dress up" for church? Why does the pastor preach a sermon each week? Why do we have pews, steeples, choirs, and seminaries? This volume reveals the startling truth: most of what Christians do in present-day churches is not rooted in the New Testament, but in pagan culture and rituals developed long after the death of the apostles.
