Cristians this question is about witches?

Question

When Jesus came
that really (as christians say) change all the rules.

i was told that when jesus came that meant that all the old testament laws (such as the eating no pork law) was now in void, and we can now eat whatever we please. and christians agreed with me :)

and they believe that:
Mark 10:27

"With God ALL things are possible"

So why do you beleive that one cannot be a witch and a christian at the same time?

and remember that a witch is Not someone that worships the devil, and Not someone that speaks to spirits or casts spells to harm or controll someone.

though witches are someone that would use magick (Gods power, that all christians call upon when they pray) to do his will, to heal the sick, to give streagth to the weak.

So answer me this, why cant i (a christian) also be a witch?

this will be my last question tonight, bye :)

Answer 1

Jesus is a myth. Just like Ra, Zeus or Allah. Its STORIES, nothing more.

How can JESUS invalidate parts of the bible if the bible is GODS Word? Christianity is RIFE with contradictions. WHy? Because its all MADE UP STORIES.

Answer 2

Listen to this scripture:
"But when you follow your own wrong inclinations your lives will produce these evil results: impure thoughts, eagerness for lustful pleasure, idolatry, SPIRITISM (that is, encouraging the activity of demons), hatred, and fighting, jealousy and anger, constant effort to get the best for yourself, complainists and criticisms, the feeling that everyone else is wrong except those in your own little group--and there will be wrong doctrine, envy, murder, drunkenness, wild parties, and all that sort of thing. Let me tell you again as I have before, that anyone living that sort of life will not inherit the kingdom of God."

Galatians 5:19-21

Like The Ten Commandments, the dietary laws are Absolute Truths and are meant for all mankind of all time.

I'm just telling you what I've been taught and have read in the Bible. The Lord said that you can't worship two masters and in Witchcraft you're doing just that, but you don't have to believe me. Read the Bible for yourself. Find one that has a good concordance and look up witchcraft and you will find for yourself the Truth.

I do have some scriptures you can look up if you want. They are:
Deut. 18:9-14; 1 Sam. 28:3,9; 2 Ki. 9:22; Mic. 5:12; 1 Chr. 33:6;
2 Ki. 23:24; Gal. 5:20.

Answer 3

Jesus said " I do not come to change the law, but to FULFILL it"

He never said that the old rules did not apply. That is something you need to consider, perhaps. He did in many ways simplify and clarify the laws. He also stressed God's more loving and less punitive nature often seen in the OT.

It is not for me to say that both are mutually exclusive of one another. They sort of seem so to me personally. It would seem that in a good witch bad witch sceario, if you will, the bad witch would inherently violate Christian law.

Many people combine faiths or elements of faiths in their belief system. Some Christians beleive theirs is the only way. I'm a Christian who believes, there are many doors to salvation.
Like for Buddhists, Jews etc. I have never theologically thought of Wiccan or witchcraft as among the ,however and ifrom my theological perspective, I would not not be able to.

It is not uncommon, especially when you're young and trying to find or identify yourdelf to branch out and discover many different things, I did.

It seems you still think of yourself as a Christian and you are experienting elsewhere. i'll not advise you on this in any way. i'm only attempting to answer your question in some way that lets you see possible outcomes. Advising on this wouldn't be something I could do. or should do. but you are not the first to want to incorporate multiple belief systems.


Now, I don't beleive that watching or reading Harry Potter is "of the devil" in any way, harmless fiction! But I have seen kids and adults start down a path they are covinced is harmless to them and others and soon get caught up with ideas and people and etc, that lead them down a path they never really wanted. In other words and with our best intentions we see no harm in something, and later find out there was indeed. I'm not judging you! please though, do be careful.

Whatever you seek to do ,not abandoning your core beliefs of right and wrong and good and evil are most important.


That should be paramount.

God Bless!

Answer 4

1. Regarding Old Testament laws: There are basically three types of laws in the Old Testament - civil, ceremonial, and moral. Civil laws were laws about daily living (i.e., regulations about lending and borrowing money). Ceremonial laws were laws about how to worship (i.e., how to perform sacrifices). Moral laws were the direct commands of God, revealing His nature and will (i.e., the Ten Commandments). The civil laws were specific to the society to which they were given, and the ceremonial laws helped to point forward to the Messiah. Thus, these two types of laws no longer need to be followed precisely, but the principles behind them should be honored and applied. The moral law, most Christians would agree, still requires obedience, although we also know that we will fail in this. However, according to the old covenant, people were required to obey the law to be God's people. Under the new covenant, Jesus paid for our sins so that we could be God's people. Usually, when Christians say that Jesus changed all the rules, they are referring to the new covenant of grace.

2. Mark 10:27: Yes, Jesus said, "All things are possible with God." However, please look at the context. A man comes to Jesus to find out how to get eternal life. Jesus tells him he must give away all he has and follow Jesus. The man goes away sad, and Jesus comments, "How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God!" The disciples are amazed and confused - if the rich can't get in, then how can anyone be saved? Then Jesus tells them, "With man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God." What is he saying? People can't earn their way to heaven; they can't make their way there on their own. But God has made a way for the impossible to happen: dirty, sinful people can come into the presence of a perfect, holy God because God provided the way for them to do that through Jesus Christ, His Son.

3. So, why can't someone be a witch and a Christian at the same time? I know very little about witches, so please forgive any misconceptions I have. I believe that some (if not all) witches believe in the God and Goddess, yet the Bible says, "Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one. Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength." There is no room for a Goddess in Christianity. I also believe that some (if not all) witches see the power upon which they call as being of themselves or of nature, yet the Bible says, "This is what the LORD says: 'Let not the wise man boast of his wisdom or the strong man boast of his strength or the rich man boast of his riches, but let him who boasts boast about this: that he understands and knows me.'" When Christians pray, they ask God to work - it is never supposed to be about one's own power or about any other source of power. I don't know what witches believe about trying to please God or be saved or go to heaven or gain eternal life. However, Jesus said, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." Jesus is the only way to God, the only way to true spirituality. Of what use is being a witch if you are already a child of the Most High God? If you are seeking power, seek God. If you are seeking connection or spirituality, seek God. If you are seeking freedom, seek God. Jesus provides all that we need.

Answer 5

Christians follow Christ, His teachings, His example. He discouraged ritual. He never encouraged anything that witches or Wicca is known for. Healings and strength were attained by faith alone in God. You can only worship one God. From what I know of Wicca, they tend to see many gods. Talking to spirits is discouraged regularly in the Bible.

God is relational. He wants a relationship with us. He wants us to have relationships together. Spells and spirits don't really have anything to do with that.

As a follower of Christ, why would you clutter up your spirituality with this stuff? Jesus may have changed the rules, but God is pretty clear about a lot of this other stuff being empty.

I'm not sure that I gave you an answer, but before truly finding Christ, I looked into these other paths - they left me cold.

Answer 6

First and for most, you are taking "With God, all things are possible" out of context. That does not mean you can go out, shoot your neighbor and think God will be ok with that. What it means is that with God being in control of your life and putting Him first in everything, you can achieve whatever it is you want to.

Secondly, I don't consider prayer a form of calling down God's power to grant me what I wish or any form of "magick". Prayer is not just for asking for things that you want. Prayer is a way of praising God for the things He does in your life and for things He will do to bless you. You don't say "Lord, please give me a million dollars" or "Lord, I don't like this person so please get even with them for me". If that is how you pray, then I shall surely pray for you.

If you are a true Christian, then you know that there is no power greater than the love of God. Why would you want to be a witch?

Answer 7

Tell me, who gets the glory when you cast this spell you or Jesus? When we pray it is according to God's will not mans. No Christian can not be a witch, that is of the occult.

Answer 8

A couple of points of clarification for folks.

1) Not all Witches are Wiccan. For example, the tribal priests who are referred to as "Witch doctors" *certainly* are not Wiccan.

2) jbdaugherty2006 - male witches are also called "Witches". Ceremonial Magicians are the ones who use "Wizard", I believe.

3) Since witches call on their Higher Power in their spellwork, how is a witch's healing spell any different than a Christian's laying on of hands?

Answer 9

I see no problem with it, Bobby. If you follow the Christian rules for living and cast a few spells on the side, what harm is it to anyone? A Wiccan ritual isn't too different than a ritual in a Christian church if you think about it. Stand here, sit here, kneel here, close your eyes here. Do what ya want!!

Answer 10

Ummm. Well... considering that Wiccans follow their heart and what they have learned and use it to create their own belief... I suppose.

But also considering that Wicca is a religion and not just a lifestyle, my thinking is that a Christian-witch has another religion all together.
