First of all, the Old Testament Bible ought to be read
in light of the New Testament.
I started out with the Book of Mathew first in my youth.
Secondly? There is no reconciliation of paganism with Christianity, Lynn. Believe what you want.
St. Paul in the epistles quoted a pagan poet and about an inscription on a pagan statue to,
"The Unknown God".
Quoting the poet who wrote about Him, saying,
"In Whom we live and move and have our being."
Even pantheistic Hindus talk about the One Almighty God, referring to Him as, "The God".
