Answer 1

it say in the Bible not to be unequally yoked and that's not just talking about people getting married...he can cause you to loose your faith...if a persons not serving God, then they are serving the devil...no matter how hard they will try to say they are not...the Bible says also, you can't serve 2 masters, so your friend is serving the devil.....pray for him and be careful were you tread

Answer 2

First, you should research the religion and learn more about it; that will probably set your mind at ease. Wicca is a very peaceful and tolerant religion, and Wiccans follow the statement "An it harm none, do what ye will." Basically, don't hurt anyone. And if they do, it comes back to bite them 3 times more, that's the threefold rule.

Anyway, keep being friends with her. Just because you have different religious beliefs doesn't mean you have to stop being friends. If it seriously bothers you too much, just don't talk religion with him... talk politics or movies or something.

Answer 3

Being Wiccan is not a bad thing . You feel that he is a good person, right ! Then don't judge because he doesn't believe as you do.

A woman asked, "Rabbi, what of those that follow other Teach-
ers?"
And He answered, smiling, "There are many rooms in your Father's
2443

house, and many fields in Heaven. And I come again, and yet again, and
as there are many languages of mankind, so are there many Names for
Deity. Rejoice in it, and be glad of the diversity of Deity, and do not
hate those that call the Diety by other names, but rather weigh them by
their deeds."
And one asked of Him, "How should we pray?"
And He answered, saying, "Pray in your own fashion, as you will,
for all prayer is good. But if you wish, pray thusly:"
"Our Father, who is in heaven, hallowed be Thy Name. Thy Kingdom
come, Thy Will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our
daily bread, and forgive us our errors, as we forgive the errors of
others. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil."
"And if you feel this prayer should be given to the Mother, then
let it be so."
And a Priest shouted, angrily, "Shall God be then female?"
And He answered, "The Deity is what It will be, not what you
make It into. You see the Diety in your own image; if you are vengeful,
then your God is vengeful. If you are full of hate, then your God is
hateful. But if you have love, then you shall know the Deity's love.
Listen, and be wise."

Just want to add something for my own selfish reasons :

*{+WITCHES+}*
We are not evil
We don't harm or seduce people.
We are not dangerous.
We are ordinary people like you.
We have families, jobs, hopes, dreams.
We are not a cult.
This religion is not a joke.
We are not what you think we are from looking at t.v.
We are real.
We laugh, we cry.
We are serious.
We have a sense of humour.
You don't have to be afraid of us.
We don't want to convert you.
And please don't try to convert us.
Just give us the same right we give you--to live in peace.
We are much more than you think.

Answer 4

The absolute first thing to do is to pray for God to show you what you should do or not do. It is good that you do not hold this decision against your friend. Only God knows whether he would be open to a different view or not and only God knows whether the relationship is good for you or not. Only God knows whether He brought this friendship for a special purpose to reach him, or be a friend or what. Pray for God's will for him and for you. When you start to recognize an answer in your thoughts or circumstances, pray even more for God to show you more. God has the answer seek Him for the answer.

Answer 5

If you are a Christian, you should believe that your god gave free will to all people so they can choose what feels right for them.

If you try to convert this person, you will lose a friend.

Just worry about your own spirituality and being the best Christian you can be. Leave others to decide for themselves. But if you feel you MUST witness to him, here are some thoughts:

Answer 6

Learn a little bit about your friend's religion before condemning it. Just because he doesn't have the same beliefs as you doesn't mean anything-- after all, you probably have different favorite foods. Just learn about some of the things he believes in so you have some understanding which will hopefully not feel weird about it. Or you can ask him about it as long as you're not negative or judgemental.

Answer 7

Your friend, the W-I-C-C-A-N, accepts you as you are. Trust me on this. Why do you find it so hard to accept him as the person he is? Is it because you don't personally like him, or because your faith is forcing you to mistrust him?

I lost a good childhood friend at 5 years old because I didn't go to his church. It's up to you on whether or not your belief in the invisible man trumps your tangible friendship. *(hint: stick more with the love part and less with the ignorance and fear!)

Answer 8

Why should it bug you? Not only does he have a right to believe what he wants, any theistic system recognizes God (by definition). Read what Paul has to say about paganism in the New Testament. There is only one God.

Answer 9

You're a true friend, Jane. Pray for your friend, and keep on praying. Pray for yourself too, because Satan WILL use your friend against you, to try to weaken and undermine your faith. God bless you and your friend. May He deliver you both from evil.

Answer 10

First, its WICCAN, not Wicken. He is not made of wicker.

Second, do nothing at all. It's NONE of your business, friend or not.
