The Wiccan Christian

My one simple thing is turning into a novel. lol Anyway, it’s my personal way of doing my daily morning meditation.

My daily morning meditation consists of things I know people find …. Questionable. But I beat from a different drum:

Here’s some of a list again, of things I do that I consider Wicca and I welcome any kind of constructive criticism about my beliefs, or whether it constitutes Wicca or Christian. I don’t claim to know it all from either types.

I started studying New Age stuff around the same time I was with that man. He’s actually the one that got me curious. He asked me to watch tarot readings with him on YouTube (I don’t watch those anymore). But thats what got me started in buying my own cards (though I know a lot of readers believe they need to be gifted to you. Honey, I’m from the sticks in Minnesota…..It’s a majority Christian around here. I won’t be getting any gifts).

Anyway, Do people remember when Paul the apostle wrote about testifying to everybody? He said things like: ….

I think I’m just going to look up the verses and copy them on here. I think I can do that.(?) 🤔

I’ll be back! —

Here it is:

1 Corinthians 9:20–22.

“To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win the Jews. To those under the law I became like one under the law… so as to win those under the law.

To those not having the law I became like one not having the law… so as to win those not having the law.

To the weak I became weak, to win the weak.

I have become all things to all people so that by all possible means I might save some.”

Maybe I don’t even want to debate about it, because people may tell me (even though it’s in the Bible), not to take it literal.

Well, what other way is there to take it?

And why do we take some things literal in the Bible and some things not?

I also know that God does not give us beyond what we can bare. But with it He also provides a way out.

chatGPT has an opinion on Paul:

“I wasn’t saying he participated in sinful behavior. Rather, he was saying that he set aside his own preferences, customs, and rights when appropriate so he could relate to different people and communicate the message of Christ in a way they could understand.”

I want to know what people think about this verse? I have my opinion, but I want to hear others.

What sticks out best for me is when Paul says “I’ve become all things to all people so as to win them all.

I do all this for the sake of the gospel, that I may share in its blessings. vs 23

Being raised in a small country town I feel I was pretty isolated., We were Catholic and went to mass every Sunday. My father was very strict (among other things). We never really went anywhere. Anywhere that gave me any knowledge anyway.

When I was dating that man I feel he isolated me from my friends and family. And when I think about it, I think he put a spell on me. I know he believes in that stuff. Anyway, he got me started questioning my faith.

So #3 is I believe people can put spells on each other just with their words. The tongue can be very sharp, be careful what you say to people. Somewhere in the Bible it says gossip is just as bad as murdering someone. You are murdering their character. That’s my belief.

None of this stuff is really new to me. I had special beliefs as a child. I see it now in hind site. And it seems now they have a name for it: BiPolar

I also think I was born to do something different. I won’t say firecrackers and bottle rockets. I just know I’m supposed to be doing something on this earth before my time is gone. And maybe I’m already doing it. And actually, I already have been. All my life. I believe God gives you life missions. We’re not going to know our mission, though if we don’t keep God #1 in our life.

My explanation of death: Its a journey to a new dimension. It’s better than being on this earth right now. What we’ve got going on with this earth right now always brings up what’s been predicted in the book of revelations last chapter in the Bible. And my personal belief is this world is going to end in an explosion. And it’s going to be a surprise. Like the master coming home from his trip early.

There’s scripture that tells of this:

One of the closest is Matthew 24:45–51:

“Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom the master has put in charge of his household… It will be good for that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns.”

But if the servant says, “My master is staying away a long time,” and begins to neglect his duties, the master will return unexpectedly.

The world is going to end with some kind of explosion. That’s why you will never know when. Because it’s just going to happen.

4. I believe in Karma and the idea of threefold. I never did before. I never experienced it before. But I experienced it on that terrible drug. I saw the spirit world, which is all around us. I saw demons and angels fighting for my soul. I saw them fighting over other souls as well.

You see, now I know why God did not want Eve (or Adam) to eat from the tree of good and evil. Because then their eyes would be opened to the spiritual warfare going on around us. God does not want us to see what’s truly going on around us. Because if we saw it we would be petrified by fear. Then we wouldn’t be his warriors in Christ. We’d be too scared. We’d be frozen in fear.

Anyway, that’s the spiritual warfare I’m talking about, and it was scary.

I might have to do a part two (2) to finish this post. It was supposed to be simple. I still have so much to say about specific beliefs.

Maybe I should just end this by answering the question 😂. First thing, a cup of coffee. It makes me happy 😃

I believe in God and the Bible. I believe everything Jesus said and taught. I believe Jesus died on the cross for my sins. And because of that, as long as I keep learning from my mistakes and change my course as needed, God will forgive me. God forgave me at the cross.

I believe we were all meant to learn lessons in this world. In the next life we will be made perfect. I don’t believe God holds grudges. I believe he’s always waiting for us to turn our lives around. And He never gives up on us.

I try to practice the words in 1 Corinthians 13 on a daily basis. That is what I try to live by. That is where I’ve set my standards. I try.

I believe where two or more are gathered it’s a church. So, even if there’s only two or three of us doing a Bible study we are in church.

I make alters for God. People may wonder what in the world would that be? Well, it depends on the occasion. Usually, it’s something I’m fasting or praying about.

My alters usually consist of a candle, incense, a crystal sphere or two, depending on what my attention is on at the time. I put notes on the alter, sometimes things I want to get rid of in my life or something I want to bring into my life. Sometimes it’s something as simple as a letter to God of gratitude.

I see God all around in nature. I hear Him in the trees. I walk barefoot in the grass. I feed the birds. I put my hands on trees for grounding and energy uplift. I pray, meditate and write.

I listen to a lot of meditation music when I’m in my bedroom. Sometimes I do yoga.

Sometimes I do absolutely nothing, but watch YouTube videos all day.

Yeah, I can be a real bum.
