if you belive in supernatural, do you think that there are some good witches?

Answer 1

yes i do

Answer 2

Yes, certainly, whole denominations of them religiously. Correllian Natavist Tradition for example. Covenant of the Goddess is pretty good too.

Those who use the Bible to attack you, and I'm sure they will -- should be cognizant of the fact that the Bible is primarily mythic.

So that you understand that, and know how to defend yourself, I'll list a few things below, but I also suggest my own website and www.infidels.org

Good luck.

While we have none of the autographs of the Bible, the early manuscripts we do have have and that are known to be genuine, by the most conservative estimates, have 200,000 differences between the wording in them, and while many are not meaningful, some completely change the doctrine of the church. (Ehrman, Bart, Ph.D.; Misquoting Jesus: The story behind who changed the Bible and Why; Harper Collins, 2006 -- p. 89). less conservative estimates range up to about 400,000 -- and there are programmers now endeavoring to write a program that will be able to count the exact number of variances.

And that's only the start of the difficulties for the Bible. If you only use the Textus Receptus (Received Text) as it is printed in modern Bibles then you are looking at enormous problems anyway -- in fact insurmountable ones. The World does not have corners (Isaiah 11:12), nor does it sit on pillars (I Samuel 2:8), nor water (Psalms 24:1-2). God did not establish a solid dome over the earth (that's what firmament literally means) and he does not have a palace on top of it from which angels can come and go up Jacob's ladder -- which might be reached by the tower of babel -- and where he keeps "treasuries" of hail and snow (Job 38: 22-23). For the sake of all that is decent, you can't even harmonize the 1st and 2nd chapters of Genesis with each other, say nothing of being able to defend the Biblical creation as scientifically factual. That's no surprise though, as the Bible tells us that beetles have four legs (Leviticus 11: 21-23) and that rabbits chew their cuds (Deuteronomy 14:7). It says that pi is 3, not 3.14 (I Kings 7:23 and 2 Chronicles 4:2) and that the mustard seed is the smallest seed in the world and grows into a tree [neither of which are true] (Matthew 13: 31-32). It is hardly a font of rational thought or scientific accuracy. Furthermore these errors only scratch the surface. Try harmonizing accounts in Joshua and the telling of the same tales in timeline in Judges sometime. If you can you are more proficient than any theologian I've ever met, and I've met a few.

Late bronze age men created the OT and early iron age ones the NT. It is not surprising therefore that God cannot lead Israel to defeat Iron chariots after promising he would (Judges 1:19), and it is not surprising that the flight of Israel from the god Chemosh, after the king of a city the Jews were beseiging and that God had promised them they would overthrow The King of the city offered his own son to Chemosh as a human sacrifice, resulting in Chemosh driving the Israelites away (2 Kings 3: 19-27) -- further it is not surprising that no punishment is mentioned -- the Israelites were still sacrificing their own children, as is evidenced in several places, but most graphically in Judges 11:30-39

The long and short of it is, the Bible is a mythic book, written by bronze and iron age men who were recording primarily oral legends in written form. In any realistic sense it is drivel. You can see, just in the passages I noted above from 2 Kings -- the last vestiges of polytheism fading away. Chemosh was supposed to get power from human sacrifice, just as Jehovah did -- and that power allowed him to turn the table against Israel, despite the fact that God was with Israel.

Read the verses, read the context -- to all the things I've suggested, calm your breathing and thinking and ask yourself if this is really the God of the Universe you are reading about -- or a tribal deity, which has now evolved into the one we worship. I think you will find biblegod sadly lacking -- something the liturgical churches have been saying for hundreds of years.

And if you want a chuckle, read the second, and theoretically final version of the ten commandments. They are in Exodus 34: 10-26. That is the covenant Yahweh actually made with Israel. No seething here.

Have a nice day.

Answer 3

No I don't believe in the supernatural , I do think it can be a fun source of entertainment every once in a while like reading your horoscope etc , not to bash any ones beliefs , just think it can be fun yet essentially a bunch of who ha, believe in good and bad people so sure if it were real then I guess there would be good witches too

Answer 4

What do you mean 'some' good witches? I'm afraid most people don't realize what witches really are. They are either men or women that practice Wicca, a precursor to Christianity. Most forms or Wicca are similar to Christianity. They believe that you should harm no one, and that the earth is special and should be preserved. There are many sects of Wicca that believe different things. Don't be fooled by the misinformed people that tell you it is Satanism. Visit www.witchvox.com or www.wicca.com to learn what Witchcraft really is. These sites are made by witches and are the real facts.

Answer 5

As a Christain i do believe in the supernatural. Do I believe there are good witches? Absolutely no way. Witchcraft is evil regardless whether the witch is black or white. There cantations are against the Living God, and although they don't realise it they are actually serving Satan the prince of lies. Now if he's the prince of lies, do you think he will admit to the truth? Of cause not, and so he'll lie to those that practise such arts. So therefore they will think that its OK.

Answer 6

I believe in the supernatural but I'm not too sure about the "good" witches. They may be real and cast good spells as opposed to bad ones. I have heard stories about witches in the voodoo cult that can be good and bad. It all depends whether you are a believer or not.

Answer 7

The supernatural is just a natural phenomenon that has not yet been explained by science. When we lack the knowledge to explain a particular occurrence, our imaginations can run wild and we can sometimes turn to fantasies in order to fill the void that is created by not knowing the real answers.

But, to answer your question, yes...i do believe that there are good witches too...lol... ;)

Answer 8

of course, there is a balance to everything. for everything good, there is bad. many people have this old notion that witches are bad. Many of them don't even know any witches in the day and age. Back in the day when they were being hanged, most of the time they were accused of things they did not do. Most of them studied herbs and other spiritual things that were not bad, just different. Different from the major church of the time, so when they were accused, no one testify for them for fear of being called a witch themselves. good question.

Answer 9

the supernatural is 100 percent real - not natural - super natural -- and the choice of the word witch is the problem here.
There is Light and darkness, and practitioners of alchemic/physical/metaphysical arts. Like any field - you will find good and bad people in these places.

Answer 10

Witches are not supernatural, they are humans practicing neo-paganism.
And I don't consider myself to be a "bad" witch.

Answer 11

The word "witch" is a grossly misunderstood word.
Most of them are good witches who can help you in the "Time of Darkness".
