I just have a comment. Please don’t misunderstand. Witchcraft is like a secret. It is no different than other religions. Nothing bad about it. But don’t confuse witchcraft with people’s intentions, which could be good or bad. Look at all the corrupt people, all of them believe in some religion, and some call themselves Christians. Look at all the people in prison, none of them practice witchcraft, but they do belong to some religion. We are Christians. We don’t follow what you call religion. But I agree with some things with you. It depends on each individual’s action and intention, regardless of his religion or belief. I don’t believe in evil. There is a choice for each individual to make in each action and is up to himself. I’m Christian and I love all power in the planet, universe, and in me. I love each living thing and I wouldn’t harm anyone or anything.<\/p>\n\t
The claim that those who practice witchcraft are not among those in prison is blatantly false. But it does demonstrate the delusion you live under in thinking that your particular sin is acceptable to God. As does the claim there is no evil and that you do not follow a religion.<\/p>\n
“There shall not be found among you anyone who makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire, or one who practices witchcraft, or a soothsayer, or one who interprets omens, or a sorcerer, or one who conjures spells, or a medium, or a spiritist, or one who calls up the dead. For all who do these things are an abomination to the LORD<\/em>” (Deuteronomy 18:10-12).<\/p>\n
“But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death<\/em>” (Revelation 21:8).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
The reason witchcraft and related practices are condemned are because it is entirely based on deceptions and lies. Even if one were to accept the premise that it was real, it would not makes sense. “And when they say to you, “Seek those who are mediums and wizards, who whisper and mutter,” should not a people seek their God? Should they seek the dead on behalf of the living?<\/em>” (Isaiah 8:19). Which makes more sense? To consult with people claim to talk to the dead or to seek the counsel of the Living and Almighty God? As Isaiah concluded, “To the law and to the testimony!<\/em>” (Isaiah 8:20).<\/p>\n
Claims that you are “good” does not negate the fact that you are sinning. You might claim to be a Christian, but you have proven that you are not. The word “Christian” means a follower of Christ. You do not follow the Savior. You walk your own path of sin. Because Jesus said, “If you love Me, keep My commandments<\/em>” (John 14:15). There is only one God and there is no other power in this universe.<\/p>\n
“I am the LORD, and there is no other; there is no God besides Me. I will gird you, though you have not known Me, that they may know from the rising of the sun to its setting that there is none besides Me. I am the LORD, and there is no other<\/em>” (Isaiah 48:5-6).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
