Is it possible to do witchcraft and still believe in God?

Question

I want to do witchcraft but according to the Bible its wrong but I will only live once...what should I do? Paganism is also wrong in the Bible but I still want to try it. I need some help.

Answer 1

Read Deuteronomy 18:9-18, then decide if you want to follow after Satan (the power behind all occult practices according to the Bible), or follow God. The "prophet " mentioned in verses 15-19 is the Lord Jesus Christ, according to Peter in Acts chapter 3)
If you need to be set free from the power of occultic involvement, you can find sound teaching on the subject at this website:

Answer 2

This is something you need to think about, seriously.

1) What is the attraction to Wicca or Paganism?
2) Have you been able to research these different religious paths?
3) Where is it stated in the Bible that these practices are wrong?
4) Why do you want to do witchcraft? What do you know about it? If it is to harm someone, it is definitely WRONG!

Researching, reading and talking to others that follow those religions is very necessary for you to make up your mind. And it will take a very long time.

First you should read the Bible and try to understand your own religion. Know your own religion well and research with an open mind. Otherwise, you will only waste your time.

A religion that preaches love and kindness to others and is followed correctly and faithfully is the one that is good for you. Regardless of what it is called, it should not require you to harm others.

This world would be a better place if people would know more about the religion they say they practice. They would be more respectful of others' believes.

Answer 3

I think you are able to practice witchcraft and still believe in God. I do. And if you are Wiccan or Pagan like me... then you'll live more than once. You should open your soul to all religion.... no matter the type. I know God. He would want you to. And remember... the bible was wrote by some dumb people in the 1400's. ( no offense ) And now I would like to know one thing.... how old are you? Because I could help you through all of this. =)

Answer 4

What you must remember is that Witchcraft is not a religion, it is only a practice, and so anyone from any background and religion can practice it. Wiccans are not always practicers of Witchcraft, despite what many think.

If you believe wholeheartedly in the Bible and what it teaches, then it would be against your religion, if you choose to believe so.

I am Wiccan, so it is not against mine. Witchcraft is not evil, nor is it worshipping any Demons or Devils. It is simply magic (with or without a K!)

Answer 5

No Not really, they strongly conflict, well God/Bible conflicts with Paganism, Paganism says, Each to their own ! Also, there is NO Satan or Devil in Paganism, this is a Christian belief, and a very common misconception !
Paganism, really is a lifestyle, to be lived every waking moment, it is also very respectfull of other religious pratices and religions, if only the same were off Christianity, towards Pagans, how many died in the name of God !? Killing for a God, cannot be acceptable or Holy !, Murder is Murder ! Paganism respects ALL life, no matter how insignificant !

Answer 6

I think what you do in a religeous aspect is your own decision. If you believe in what the bible teaches then the answer would be no. You cannot follow the teachings of the bible and practice witchcraft. Your faith or what you follow should be what you feel in your heart, not what is written on paper by men. My personal belief...religeon is necessesary for people that need the threat of damnation or the reward of heaven in order to keep on the straight and narrow. Perhaps you should research pagan paths before "trying" it. If you look at Wicca for instance, you will see a lot of similarities to Catholocism in that they pray to other dieties than just god and they worship idols and have ritual practices.

Answer 7

Have 1,000 people read the Bible and you will have 1,000 different interpretations of what it says. Jesus turned water into wine. He healed. He banished demons. He fed all those people with just a few fish. He walked on water. All acts of magick. He manipulated the God-given neutral energies around him to do wonderful things. That is the essence of magick. He said "All these things you can do, and MORE."

"Pagans' are those who honor the earth and all creatures on it, appreciating and living in harmony with nature. Which do you think the Creator of it all appreciates more? Respecting and working with the wonderful, incredible world that we live on or "conquering" it? Cherishing it or exploiting it?

And here's another thing to think about - the only people whom Jesus ever had a problem with were those in the "Church". He defended everyone else but got so angry with the judgemental, hateful, self-righteous people in the Church. Ask yourself why and don't let others think for you. Be yourself, love others and refuse to answer to anyone's lables.

Answer 8

It is totally possible. there are Christian witches. They practice magic and use Father, Son, and Holy Ghost for circle casting. You also use angels in your quarter calls. You would use the Psalms as your spell chant or words. What you want to look into is Enochian magic as this type of magic uses the angels as guides for the magic. It is not always wrong to have certain gifts and to do certain things that were once called evil in the bible. Check out 1 Corinthians 12:1-13. That will tell you all you need to know about using witchcraft.

My sister and friends both use this type of magic and I will be participating in a ceremony with them tonight. One thing I forgot to mention is the Qabalah is also used in this type of magic. Qabalah is jewish mysticism. Also look into Gnostism as this is a type of christian mystic religion although I may be a little off on that on. My knowledge is limited when it comes to the Gnostic religion.

Answer 9

What makes you think the Bible has all the answers? Pagans have Gods too. If you are drawn to something, there is no harm in studying it before you decide to practice. You may just find that Paganism makes more sense to you.

Answer 10

no. and this might help...

Paganism (from Latin paganus, meaning "an old country dweller, rustic") is a term which, from a Western perspective, has come to connote a broad set of spiritual or cultic practices or beliefs of any folk religion, and of historical and contemporary polytheism religions in particular.

The term can be defined broadly, to encompass the faith traditions outside the Abrahamic monotheistic group of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. The group so defined includes the Dharmic religions, Native American religions and mythologies and Shinto as well as non-Abrahamic ethnic religions in general. More narrow definitions will not include any of the world religions and restrict the term to local or rural currents not organized as civil religions. CHARATERISTIC of Pagan traditions is the ABSENCE OF PROSELYTISATION, and the presence of a living mythology which explains religious practice.

The term "Pagan" is a Christian adaptation of the "Gentile" of Judaism, and as such has an inherent Christian or Abrahamic bias, and pejorative connotations among Westerners, comparable to heathen, infidel, and mushrik and kafir (كافر) in Islam. For this reason, ethnologists avoid the term "Paganism", with its uncertain and varied meanings, in referring to traditional or historic faiths, preferring more precise categories such as polytheism, shamanism, or animism.

Since the later 20th century, however, the words "Pagan" or "Paganism" have become widely and openly used as a self-designation of adherents of polytheistic reconstructionism and neo-Paganism, Wiccans and Witches.
