Does that make it clear that the Bible is opposed to witchcraft and what a witch does?
I dont hate anyone, but someone asked and that is what it says.

The Israelites were forbidden to have any contact with anyone who claimed to communicate with the unseen world.
Eight means of communication with the spirit world are given. They are called abominations by God. They include: one who practices witchcraft (a witch or a warlock), . . . a soothsayer (a seer; a false prophet), . . . one who interprets omens (a palm-reader; a fortune-teller; an astrologer), . . . a sorcerer (a witchdoctor), . . . one who conjures spells (a wizard), . . . a medium (spirit medium), . . . a spiritist (a séance leader), . . . one who calls up the dead (a necromancer). Some of these "professions" overlap.
Tragically, this nearly 3,400 year-old prohibition is just as much needed in "enlightened" modern times as it was long ago.
Satanism, demons, and the occult are dark, sinister realities, not tricks. One of the signs that we are nearing the close of this age is the widespread interest in witchcraft, astrology, and other forms of the occult. . . . Thousands consult their horoscope each day, attend séances, or seek to communicate with deceased loved ones. There's also a great interest in Satanism and demons. The Bible repeatedly warns against such practices (Lev_19:31; Lev_20:27; 2Ch_33:6; Jer_10:2; Gal_5:19-20).
How urgent and current are the warnings of the Bible! Let's not play around with something that could become a kiss of death.
Suggest you study the books "Magic in the Middle Ages" by Richard Kieckhefer or "Strange Histories" by Darren Oldridge to learn more about magic and witchcraft, its history, and its origins.

It goes on to say, "For all who do these things are an abomination to the Lord, and because of these abominations the Lord your God drives them out from before you. You shall be (must be) blameless (upright and sincere) before your God."--v.12-13.
I don't hate anyone either but this scripture is not the only one that teaches that God hates all forms of witchcraft. Keep in mind His command to have no other gods before Him. There are things other than witchcraft that can also be considered gods. Anything you put before Him qualifies.

WHERE ARE THE UNICORNS? Job 39:9. Where is the proof? Do you believe the bible is perfect (flawless)? And if they are hypothetical what makes the rest of it believable?
I don't hate anyone either!
