Do Pagans Believe In Christ?
Do Pagans believe in the Christian Bible and Christ?
AmberFry is correct in her assessment that the answer to this question is individual. How they view Christ is just as individual.
If I am "pinned down" to stating a religious preference I will say pagan because the Christian preachers around here do not take their faith from the words of Christ but from centuries of erroneous church tradition. However I am what might be termed a "New Age Christian". I know Christ. I know him intimately. He has been my best friend, elder brother, guide, teacher, healer, guardian and main "kick-my-butt" when I need it most of my life. But being "gifted" with "Sight" as my Hungarian grandmother called it, made it impossible for me to accept what I was learning in church and church school. I had to do my own research and the greatest boon to that was a family Bible that came into our possession when I was 8. It was "annotated" with Christ' own words in red ink. Reading ONLY those sections and the paragraphs before and after to give the words perspective changed my understanding of Christ forever.
I don't call myself a Christian because I do NOT believe what most people in any organized denominations believe but where Christ, himself, is concerned ... he knows his own.
Also I am a very open minded person who believes there is truth in all forms of religion. One of my best friends was a Muslim from Pakistan when I was working for a computer training school. We had wonderful conversations over lunch explaining our two faith structures to each other.
As a Pagan, defiantly yes.
The Christ Spirit is real to me, both as an example of life and teaching, and as a strong archetype as a Pagan God. Mabon, as the Celtic Sun Child, born at Yule, sacrificed and reborn, follows much the same thread as Christ.
I had a Church education, my reverence for the Christian Trinity will always be a foundation for my faith. As a Pagan, I revere God's Creation as Divine.
