who is pagani peopl?

I think, Negandjo, that you're asking about people who are referred to as 'pagans', and not the Italian sports car. If so, the dictionary defines a pagan as 'a person or community that holds to a polytheistic religion (or, a religion that believes in many gods)'.

These would create idols of stone or wood to worship them, or even the worshiping of nature (trees, water, heavenly bodies). Sometimes, the word 'pagan' can be used of an uncivilized person or an irreligious person. There were many people recorded in the Bible that were pagans - basically all those who were not of Israel; Israel who believed in the One & True God. These other people were many, such as, the Canaanites, Amorites, Jebusites, Philistines, etc. Even the Greeks & Romans, recorded in the New Testament, worshiped multiple gods, classifying them as pagans.

But when some of these people left their gods of stone & turned to the God of Heaven, their lives were changed, they were forgiven of their sins, they received the sure hope of life after death to forever be with the Holy God & His Son, Jesus Christ. The gods of their making could never give this hope nor give them peace in their hearts.
