Which is the correct term for a Male Witch?

And why are male Witches so keen on calling themselves "Witch" and so put off by the Term Warlock?
The Dictionary Definition of Warlock is a male Witch, not an Oath Breaker, who was it that came up with this oath breaker thing?

Thanks!

I just asked a question about disease, and many Christians answered that God didn't create disease, Satan did.

Germs are living things. Satan creates life? And if so, why is God credited with inflicting plagues on the Israelis and the Egyptians in the Bible? Is the Bible lying to us?

I need a verse to compliment Romans 7:15, which says "Why do I the thing I know I shouldn't and not do the things I know I should?" I am looking for a Gospel verse that says something like, "Through God I can overcome temptation/regret/etc..." I am thinking about getting a tattoo with one verse on top and the other verse on the bottom with a symbol in the middle. Thanks a lot!

I have been giving an honest, whole-hearted effort to trying to give whatever supernatural power that people say is out there a chance to prove it is real to me. I've been trying to believe for a very long time, and can't force myself. I NEED to be shown. I am sick to death of scriptures and riddles that are supposed to MEAN something and don't. Arrrrgh!!!! I've been here for a while and know that those of you who feel it and believe will say to "have faith and pray". Sorry, that isn't doing anything. And, my atheist friends will say "woah, chill out, stay sane don't go that route, god doesn't exist" and so far I have to agree with them. I have been trying to experiment with contacting "God" or asking for a sign to show me my assuption of atheism was wrong. Is the lack of a responce my answer that I was right before I began this internal journey? God doesn't exist or if he does, he doesn't want me as his follower. Say whatever you want to me about it. No stupid "god" riddles please!

If I created an account and answered with one of 3 answers for EVERY question (no other details)-

1. Praise God
2. Amen
3. Jesus/God did it

How long do you think it would take to reach level 5, and how many of these do you think will be best answers?

forgiveness will receive it, what about the Nazi's who threw children into pit's of petrol
and set it on fire.
And when the children tried to climb out they were shot, Jesus tells us not everyone will get to heaven. People who done all these horrible things had hearts of stone, and they don't suddenly turn into a sponge overnight when some Nazis think they are dying, I dont believe they get away with it. I believe they get punished for their evil deeds, do you think they get off scot free never.

And we eliminated both. Although he managed to kill or cripple millions of children, we ultimately foiled his plan with our science.

So explain this omnipotence thing again?

does it give you a sense of purpose?
does it give you a sense of enlightenment?
does it make you feel strong?
does it give you a meaning?
does it make you feel safe and not alone? and so on.
I am honestly interested in your answers,
my questions and answers are usually aimed at organised religion, I have no problem with someone believing in God. do you get this? I believe a relationship with god should be a personal journey, not one marked out for you in the bible.

Religion says God exist through personal experience or belief.

Atheists says God does not exist because there is no physical or scientific proof of God.

Atheists just proves that God is not something physical but more mystical which they do not BELIEVE in.

And religion just proves that God is something mystical and personal than physical.

Isn't the ability to act telekeniticly an assumed power of prayer through God?

Isn't it true that belief in the reality of telekinesis must be considered as an essential for any belief of God's ability to create of manipulate change since without it no change of anything existing in our physical reality could be touched or acted upon with any real effect.

Without belief in telekenesis, some prayers would, by definition, be entirely impossible... would they not?

Where would telekinetic ability be harbored if it exists at all... in God or in God's believers?

I'm a convinced Atheist from Amsterdam, and the whole concept is alien to me. Objectionable lyrics I obviously understand , downright bad music also. That the lifestyles and actions of some
publicity hungry talentless 'stars' pre - occupy your children at the cost of valuable topics I'd still understand.
But where does censuring start ?, does it directly pertain to
religion and it's values, how about innocent songs about nature, or instrumental music. Where does the evil start ?.
And if applied very strictly isn't there the danger of sheltering your children from mainstream youth culture, can they ever adapt once they mingle in the world out there.
Won't they be socially handicapped if they eventually leave, and have to enter a secular society, can they relate to others.
Don't they rebel ?!, I was a kid once and certainly did !!.
And I wasn't nearly under these sort of restrictions.

I've heard that science cannot be trusted because it is a human invention.

Are you suggesting that humans created the idea that repeated observations and empirical evidence are a satisfactory methods of determining facts?

I'd like to pose the question: Is this a form of egocentrism?
The belief that we MUST be more important than we are? It reminds me of the Church's reaction to Galileo when he theorized the earth was not the center of the universe. He was absolutely pushed into a corner because of the belief by the religious that we HAD to be at the center. He was part of the church and he was forced to recant his theory and live the rest of life on house arrest on orders of the Inquisition, (the Church) -and we now know he was right.

Sometimes the Church eats it's own young.

So why is the idea of evolution so offensive? Fear of the unknown? We don't claim that the sun actually "rises and sets" like it literally says in the Bible do we? Why do we see science as against religion and push out the people to whom God gave a great mind for the patterns of nature or physics? Did God intend the Bible to be a scientific manual?

Are we afraid we are not as important as we'd like to be?

'Split a piece of wood and I am there, turn over a stone and you will find me.'

This phrase was mentioned in the film 'Stigmata' and was said to be the words of Jesus. Does anyone know if the phrase appears in the bible anywhere? Or anything else about it?

Cheers for your help.
