Paganism, and Christianity
Why so Much Conflict?





The religion that entails paganism is really not a lot different than any other religious idea that excludes the living God of the Bible.



The largest difference between the Pagan and the Christian in my personal opinion is what is believed about the deity of Jesus Christ. Born of a virgin, dying on a cross, rising the third day, having paid for our sin debt.



Pagans as a whole do not believe in a sin debt, or even sin. If someone does not believe they are a lost sinner who is in danger of a literal Hell. It is hard for them to understand why someone would even go to the trouble of trying to win or convert them to Christianity. Because they don't see the very real danger their soul is in.



Evolution is accepted in many pagan circles, this is unacceptable because evolution leaves out the fact that God has stated through his word, "In the beginning God created..." Genesis 1:1



Nor does God give any evidence or credence to the idea that man has evolved. Even the fossil record does not bear witness for evolution. The evidence stands for creation. Adding more time to find changes in the fossil record has resulted in nothing more than mass confusion, and the pagan religion of humanistic theory that is commonly taught through our schools and media.



Many people who are pagan believe that it is ok to "pick and choose" what they want to believe from a great many different sources. This is a serious error, because if someone believes the gospel of Christ to in fact be true, there is no way that the two can be equal but different.



You are either fully saved or fully lost, in other words each individual soul that is alive today, is either fully on their way to Heaven or Hell. There is no in between place.



Many times I've heard pagans say things like "the Christians have stolen our days" referring to Easter, Christmas etc.



Well in one way this is true, but in another it is not true.
Many pagans worship God's creations, but not God, who created. This is in a way like thanking a building or machine for the benefits provided to you, while stating you do not believe the architect exists.



I'll need to continue this in a separate article as I need a more space.
