Someone believes that if a person or a pastor/preacher/teacher etc... is preaching falsehood to the point where it is evident that it is wrong to keep talking about, this person said that you can cut your blessings if you keep talking about it. What is your opinion and why? Do you think it is just to talk about it be it that souls are dieing because of it or should you just talk about it once and then leave it alone? There could be witch craft going on right along with this false teaching so what do you think.

1 st find the Scriptures that back up what you believe to be right an then bring it to the attention of the teacher . the fist time by your self.. if this dose not work then you confront him in front of 1 church member ..if that dose not do it the you confront him in front of 2 ..church members if that dose not work then you confront him in front of the church
if that dose not work find a new church that fits your beliefs
you will find the out line for a church in Corinthians .
and in Mathew Jesus tells you hoe to pray

Wow, I think someone needs to take a refresher course in english.
That first sentence seems to have 2 independant clauses. That's a big no no. And the 2nd independant clause says something about cutting blessings, which makes no sense in any case of which I can think(Notice I didn't leave a dangling participle - but I would forgive it if you had. Most people do.). I suspect there is a typo here.
We are then asked to opine on the incoherent first sentence.
Then the next sentence seems to have 3 independant clauses and 1 dependant clause.
The last sentence is also a run-on, being as it is missing a comma at the least, but is the one of the most readable lines in the paragraph.
My advise is to ignore your worries about witchcraft and religion until you can properly convey your issues concerning these to an audience.

There are a couple answers that I could throw out for if someone is preaching falsehoods. 1) The Church itself should come together and correct the person whether it is a lay person, a pastor, a teacher, or minister. 2) If #1 doesn't work than that individual needs to be removed from all leadership and speaking duties which they might be able to use for their agenda. 3) Most especially if witchcraft is believe to be involved, the church needs to bond together in prayer AND fasting to ask God to remove whatever evil influences may be upon the person, congregation, etc.

Humans have to discover a special language to create an understanding of an issue, a moment or an insight.
For all of our focus on the individual, humans are primarily social in nature. We need each other to grasp the important things about life. Why do we need to understand each other, because it takes two to tango. We must understand enough to pass our knowledge on to the next generation of humans and to communicate our reality. We must know the language in a general way so we can celebrate the wonder of life together.
What is the sound of one hand clapping? It is loneliness.
As far as witches go, part of life is dealing with our own fears and loneliness. Fears and loneliness make up witches.

As a Christian, it is your job to bring it to their attention that they are wrong in their teaching/preaching. If they refuse to acknowledge that it is wrong then you are to take others with you and do so. If that is unsuccessful then you are to speak to the Elders of the church about it. IT is a serious matter that should be addressed as soon as is possible. The souls that they address are in danger as well as the teacher/preacher's soul. We definitely do not want to be the one that causes others to be lost and unable to be in heaven.
Study these scriptures and see what you think. To become a Christian:
HEAR - Romans 10:17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
BELIEVE - To the Prison guard in Acts 16:31 Paul and Silas said, "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household."
REPENT - Acts 17:30 Truly, these times of ignorance God overlooked, but now commands all men everywhere to repent.
CONFESS CHRIST - Matthew 10:32 "Therefore whoever confesses Me before men, him I will also confess before My Father who is in heaven.
BE BAPTIZED - Mark 16:16 He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned.
CONTINUE TO BE FAITHFUL - Revelation 2:10b Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life.
Send me a note if you have questions. I am anxious to hear from you. Have a Great day.

*There is nothing wrong with witchcraft, but you would not want it in a christian church would you?
I answered this because you wanted only spiritual and Wicca is a spiritual path.
As a former christian there are lots of churches involved with false teaching, in fact very few churches even try to teach what the bible teaches. They are concerned with denominational doctrine.
I even know many churches that in fact do practice witchcraft, but ehy do no call it that. Most christianity is paganism in disguise.
One of the biggest false teaching around is the sinners prayer. If it was important you would find it in the bible, but guess what it is not there.*

Depends on the reason to repeat it. Why speak of an incorrect teaching? There are legitimate reasons and there are poor reasons. Edify. Let your light shine, not someone else's errors.
If someone needs to be warned then warn them. For instance I warn people about the pre-trib rapture doctrine. I think it's really a bad and dangerous teaching. But there are many ways to warn about errors in the church. Some ways of warning are counterproductive.
It is best to focus on the truth. The truth has power to dispel all manner of error.

I am pagan, and so when you said witchcraft in the teachings I said, yeah your Christian.
That's not a bad thing, I was christian for about a year until I found a different path, but what I think for your side.
If you think something is wrong that the person is saying, voice your opinion, your opinion should be heard. Tell the person that you have something to say, don't inturrupt, but durring a free time tell them that you think.

You didn't explain that question very well. Not really sure what you're asking.
If someone is preaching a falsehood, you should speak up.
Are you saying that there have been threats made if you tell the truth? Scarey stuff!

What one person calls bad one person calls good.
Likemy mom. She grew up Baptist, believed Jesus had a brother and everything. My dad's Catholic, but he's not,"Don't believe that, it'll poison the minds!"
And then I had this teacher at school who was all,"People who ren't catholic go to hell. If you aren't married by a Catholic priest, your not really, spiritually married." I would like to point out that Jesus was Jewish, and that either one religion is correct or just about all the religions are correct.
So what my mom said about Jesus and his brother is fine with her, nd considered a mortal son by that rekigion teacher.
Witchcraft doesn't exist.
