Is It Wrong for a Christian to Be Drawn to Celtic Teachings & History?
Question by CelticChristian: Is it wrong for a Christian to be drawn to Celtic teachings & history?
I believe in God, and consider myself to be a Christian. But there’s this “other” side of me that has felt such a strong “pull” towards the past….centuries ago, even… and I have such a strong interest in Celtic/Druid history. I don’t know much about Celtic History but I want to learn more but I don’t want to do anything that would go against my Christian teachings. Some one please give me some advice! Thanks!

There is never anything wrong with learning.

Who knows, most christian beliefs are based on the pagans anyways..
Anyways, why would it be wrong for you too learn( just dont be one of those people who thinks everything is Celtic- people put that label on Germanic symbols in order to sell.. I actually saw some one say the Ankh was Celtic…)
I’m a Christian, and don’t think there’s anything wrong at all with learning about the history of other cultures. In fact, I enjoy doing so on a fairly regular basis.
And you do know about the Celtic Catholic Church, right? They’re a Celtic church that isn’t in communion with the Roman Catholic Church, but they’re definitely into Celtic Christianity:

There’s absolutely nothing wrong with wanting to learn about a group’s history or religion. If your faith is strong, whatever it is, learning about someone else’s faith will not change or devalue it in any way. That aside, short of blaspheming against the Holy Spirit, according to the Bible you cannot “lose” your salvation.
You can read if all the different cultures, but be careful satan likes to confuse people just do it, as almost a fiction book, but if you see your beliefs are getting confuse stop reading it then, since lucifer likes to twist the truth and make it confusing.
It is wrong.
Celtic history should really begin with Bob Cousy and Bill Sharman.
No. It is good to understand our ancestors and that they too are within the dispensation of Christ.

Actually no. I am sorry to tell you this but your beliefs were made up to destroy our spiritual knoledge and heratage. If you open your Chakras you will see the truth for yourself. I know this may sound stupid but I feel for you and I hope that you get yourself straightened out. I hate to break it to you but I am only doing this because I care about Humanity.
Follow your heart.
Is a child of a Loving God not a truth seeker no matter where it may lead.
There are other things besides religions that have value. If you find things of value in Celtic beliefs, what’s wrong with that? They revere the earth, and certainly that’s something we could all benefit from.
I am sorry to have to say this, but God has no place with any thing other than God. If the Beliefs of the Celtic world are drawing you, then turn your back on them and ask God to help you. I no this problem very well, I am Irish, and the Celtic cry is always in my ear. But I have to pray for the strength to turn from it. God and false gods cannot mix.
God be with you,
William, a bond-servant of Jesus

There is nothing wrong with this and you are probably experiencing past life memories. You were most likely keltic in a former life. If you would like to explore this you may comtact me and I will give you a good sight. I will not list it now as it is not a christian belief.
Greetings!
The Celtic Christian Church is World-Wide, and there should be a group near you.
Check out the Carmina Gadelica, put together for Celts who choose to use the Old Prayers, but in a Christian context.
This from Sacred Texts.com
“This is volume I of Alexander Carmichael’s collection of folk poetry from the Western Isles of Scotland. Carmichael spent years collecting folklore from the vanishing cultures of Scotland. The poems in this volume include prayers, invocations, blessings and charms. They are a synthesis of Christian and pre-Christian belief systems. Besides invoking Jesus, Mary, and the saints, a number of these call on other powers. One of these is ‘Bride,’ who is explained as Jesus’ midwife, but who is probably Brigid, an ancient Celtic goddess. Also mentioned throughout are a triune deity which is equated to the Christian Trinity, but which may also be an echo of a set of three pagan deities. The text includes notes on seasonal observances and folk customs which are probably likewise survivals of pre-Christian customs. All of these are woven into the cycles of the year, and activities such as weaving, fishing and herding. A vivid picture of life in pre-modern rural Scotland emerges.
DIA liom a laighe,
Dia liom ag eirigh,
Dia liom anus gach rath soluis,
Is gun mi rath son as aonais,
Gun non rath as aonais.
Criosda liom a cadal,
Criosda liom a dusgadh,
Criosda liom a caithris,
Gach la agus oidhche,
Gach aon la is oidhche.
Dia liom a comhnadh
Domhnach liom a riaghladh,
Spiorad liom a treoradh,
Gu soir agus siorruidh,
Soir agus siorruidh, Amen.
Triath nan triath, Amen.
GOD with me lying down,
God with me rising up,
God with me in each ray of light,
Nor I a ray of joy without Him,
Nor one ray without Him.
Christ with me sleeping,
Christ with me waking,
Christ with me watching,
Every day and night,
Each day and night.
God with me protecting,
The Lord with me directing,
The Spirit with me strengthening,
For ever and for evermore,
Ever and evermore, Amen.
Chief of chiefs, Amen.
The Cele-De` were a strong Church who lived side by side with the Druids, before the Roman Heresy showed up in the Isles, and the many writings produced show the Faith is not just a Roman or Greek commodity.

I may not be the most qualified to answer this particular question but study the bible when you learn about new Celtic beliefs and customs being ever vigilant against any things that seem contrary to the Word of God.
Why would it be wrong? it is all a part of human history. it has nothing to do with god or satan – it is what it is – history and nothing more. It does not go against your beliefs.
