Would you let someone you knew practice witchcraft come to your home?

Question

my daughter is dating a guy, his mother is a witch, he seems to support her in this. I am a christian. Now what I do not think this will be a long lived romance any way. He gets on my nerves without the satanic crap. Is it wrong to ban him from my house? Is that not being Christian like??

Answer 1

I would think about your daughter and how it might make her feel if you dissolve this relationship for her. Like you said, it's probably not going to last anyhow. But you can't underestimate the power of influence that you can have in these people's lives. We Christians are all too often playing the defensive end - and there is a place for that. especially since you want to protect your daughter from satanic influence. But the best defence is a good offence as they say (not to suggest that you need to be "offensive"). I suggest that you begin praying for this lady and her son. Our God is "greater than he that is in the world." You really don't have anything to be afraid of concerning her coming to your home. Proverbs 28:1 says, "The wicked flee when no one is chasing after them, but the righteous are as bold as a lion." Let her walk into your den.

It's so hard to know where Christians are at these days. Some people go to church, but depending on their denomination they may not even be saved. There's a lot more to the story than merely being saved (trusting in Jesus Christ). He has given us authority over the devil and all his demons. In other words, the devil is our "dog" and he has to do what we tell him. That's why you don't have to be afraid. I'm not sure whether they teach these kinds of things where you go to church. But spiritual authority in Christ is a very real thing, and it is scriptural.

Let the lady and her son come over. Be nice to them. Try not to judge them. You maybe could even befriend them. But don't get involved with what she's involved in, and your O.K. She might surprise you in time and want to know about your life with God.

Blessings,

Banning him does not work! So find a quiet time with your daughter, and go over his good points! See what she sees, and be there when she need you or she will run like crazy in the other direction.
I am a Christian and my son in law is not, BUT, neither was my daughter, ever, or my son. Both children were exposed to the Bible teachings from early on. Neither child took to it, So what can I do I trained them up right.
SO, My son in law is a horses backside,BUT my Daughter has been married to him for 13 years. They have a home and three great kids. Glad I kept quiet, now I have a chance to love my grand kids and expose them to Gods word.
My son is divorced, his wife is a bad person, and a thief and a liar. She also was cheating on him after she was baptized as a Christian, only so she could get married, like ALL her friends were doing!
In this case I do not think I will ever see them together again, BUT, I hold my tongue, just in case, I want nothing bad between me and my son!


Lastly, if you read through the bible accounts in Acts, Romans ,Corinthians etc. You will see how MANY times people were thieves, drunkards, homosexuals, who CHANGED that is what you were, said Paul. To the first Christians who practiced sin no more. How do you know, that by your good example as a loving Christian, you won't have an influence over this young Man?

Answer 3

Not only will I allow a practicioner of the craft in my house, I've had several such guests. Listen here: WICCA IS NOT DEVIL WORSHIP. Did you hear me? WICCA IS NOT DE VIL WORSHIP. So you can drop that excuse to act like a bigot. Take it from guy who raised three fine young ladies - you start meddling in her relationships and you'll drive her away from you and right into his arms. Let her make her own choices. It has to be that way - it certainly was for you and me, so why do you think she should not learn how to approach the difficult life issues the same way we did?
Now: the practicioners of the craft who have been my guests never caused any problems, and to this day - some thirty years since I met them - two are still favored aquaintances. I accept that not everyone's life is a cookie-cutter image of mine, and that's okay. A little Christian charity might go a long way, lady! Try it.

Answer 4

To ease your mind...

1. Just because this young man's mother is a witch doesn't mean that he is. He should be evaluated based on himself not his family

2. By witchcraft I am going to go out on a limb here an guess that you really mean Wiccan (the most prevalent group and the one most people run accross, and which is recognised as a true religion by many a government)...If I am right you can rest easy in knowing that she is hardly a satanist since most Wiccan's do not believe in satan, so they would not be worshipping something they don't believe in. Satan is a Judeo-Christian creation that has little to do wtih the vast majority of people who call themselves Witches.

3. I believe most Christian belief systems are "ideally" supposed to lean toward tollerance toward others, that being said it sounds as though you have enough reasons to condemn this young man...I highly doubt you need even bring his mother's religious beliefs into it

Answer 5

Try and explain your daughter what u feel and what u have heard about witchcraft, with concrete understandable example. Maybe she will listen to you and change course.

As for getting on your nerves, be strong in EMOTIONALLY, MENTALLY, PHYSICALLY. Sit for 10-15 minutes in any convenient place of your room
deep breathe
while inhaling thing that god is giving you power to withstand the situation u r in
while exhaling think that all the negative things u have amassed due to situation is going down the drain
Remember and put in big prints where u can see daily

IF GOD IS WITH ME WHO CAN DARE TO BE AGAINST ME.

&

GOD HELPS THOSE WHO HELP THEMSELVES.
Check your self in a week time u would have gained an upperhand of the situation.

Answer 6

Being a former Christian I remember Jesus in the Bible to have been one who didn't run away from "sinners" but embraced them and showed them compassion. He didn't run from devils but cast them out.

As one person already alluded to... your actions are typical of Christians. I guess that's because Christians forget that "Christian" is suppose to mean "like Christ". But you're not to blame... it started back as early as the church. The early disciples would have stoned your daughter's boyfriend and his mother... so I guess banning them from your house is just a sign that Christianity is evolving.

Just keep showing him the love of Jesus by banning him from your house... Eventually you'll get through to him and he'll want to be a Christian too... all because you aren't being judgmental.

Answer 7

I think maybe you are missing an opportunity to be a witness. You can bind and protect your house from evil. Say a prayer over your house casting out all evil spirits and invite the Holy Spirit to fill it up. Then act in love towards this young man. Let him know that it is Jesus' love that he sees in you.

Also, your acceptance of him will make your daughter drop him like a hot potato.

Answer 8

Wiccan or pagan is not the same thing as "Satan worshipper" so what makes you say this is "satanic crap?" There are "good" witches who use their spells much like good Christians use prayer, to bring good into someone's life, and there are "bad" witches who use their spells the way BAD Christians use prayer, to control others or personally profit or hurt someone.

I'm Christian but I know and respect some Wiccans and Pagans far more than some of the so-called Christians who are Christian in name only and do NOT follow Christ's example.

Answer 9

You should frankly discuss your misgivings with your daughter, and ask her if she expects the relationship to be long-term. I honestly don't think you should allow him in your house, you should discourage your daughter from seeing him, while still allowing her to make her own decision. (I'm assuming she is at least nearly adult.) If your daughter thinks the relationship will be long-term, you need to talk with the young man about his beliefs. I know it is allowed, in Christianity, to marry a non-Christian, but it is discouraged. (Marriage may not be what is on your mind or your daughter's mind, but isn't getting to know a potential spouse the only morally correct reason for dating?)

Answer 10

Well maybe you should confront him, there could be a possibility of him getting saved through you. Ask him if he knows about God... start a conversation about witchcraft, and what really goes on in the spirit realm when his mother does witchcraft. Tell your daughter that she can only have him over if he comes to church with you guys....
