When it comes to things that I know for a fact that God abhors, hates and warns against in the only book on earth claiming divine inspiration, I immediately switch the channel as I am to aware of just what one minute of commercials can do to one's brain... (why else would the pay millions a year just to have them reach our living rooms?) and don't doubt for a second the much greater influence that these very unscriptual television shows could do to incite me to listen to the god of 2 Corinthians 4: 4 and John 8: 44 as opposed to the One at say, Psalms 83: 18. So I'd say yes! Since a sin is coming short of the mark set by the true God, it would indeed be a sin, for me to watch such materials as much as it would be to watch any thing at all where people practice things I would not wish to see real people do in my own home! That's the way I see it! and wouldn't want nor can I afford to lose the very spirit of the true God in my life and home... so it's a non-negotiable issue, as it were!

Until your eyes are opened, you are yet a sinner--separated from God. You can therefore watch witchcraft or any other animistic show you choose. In fact, it's only natural for sinners to enjoy this kind of programming, since they are without hope in the world. Perhaps your eyes will be opened and you'll no longer wish to be deceived. The prince of the power of the air will no longer have your attention.

i don't think that you'll burn in hell. it's just a television show. as long as the show doesn't have a negative impact on you and make you turn to witchcraft, I see no problem with it. Many religious people say the same thing about Harry Potter books. People are influenced, to an extent, by what they read and watch, but if you are firmly grounded in your faith/beliefs, a book or sitcom should not shake you.

You know I know a lot of people think that the reason we shouldn't watch Charmed is because it promotes witchcraft or read/watch Harry Potter because it promotes wizardry/witchcraft. Sigh...I have to vehemently disagree. I watch Charmed and just wish I could blow things up with my hands. [grin] And when I watch Harry Potter I fantasize about sending my children to boarding school!....Oh and the Darth Vader choking thing? Now THERE is a superpower!
I think it it perfectly ridiculous to assume what anyone else is going to be tempted by and to what!

i does not watch this teach. We as Christians do not desire to fill our minds with what's sinful.We could desire to be careful approximately what we watch, for it is going to impact our questioning.

So we are saying, ‘teach me his agency, and that i’ll provide help to comprehend the guy.’ enable me comprehend the agency he keeps, and that i shall somewhat wager his ethical character.” As we've seen, maximum folk spend very much of time in the agency of television characters who're far from sensible, characters a truthful Christian could in any different case never dream of inviting into his living house. “television is an invention that facilitates you to be entertained on your residing room by potential of human beings you wouldn’t have on your place.”—David Frost, British broadcaster in the journey that your wellness care expert prescribed a valuable drug, you're able to in all probability intently evaluate the advantages to boot with the aid of fact the negative aspects in touch. Taking the incorrect drugs—or taking too a lot of even the properly suited drugs—can injury your wellness. an identical could be stated approximately television watching. it somewhat is wise, subsequently, to think of heavily approximately what we watch. The inspired apostle Paul inspired Christians to evaluate issues that are real, of intense undertaking, righteous, chaste, gorgeous, properly spoken of, virtuous, and praiseworthy. (Philippians 4:6-8) Will you heed that suggestion? you would be satisfied in case you do.

The show needed to explain the three girls who "suddenly" are Wiccan. There was a lot I disagreed with, but I figured that ir was written by Christians and was made to be a neutral as possible. So enjoy.

Depends on who you ask. I'm Atheist, and I say go for it.
A Christian would tell you that if you're watching it because of how beautiful the actresses are... it's a sin, because it creates "inpure thoughts." If you're watching it with a bottle of lotion and a box of Klenex, they'd REALLY have a problem with it. So much for appreciating the "beauty of God's creations."

The sisters are no more "Wiccan" than the Pope is, regardless of what the script might have said.

If the show had become more important God, then i believe it will. You can do everything, but if the thing exceeds God, then don't do it. With best regard.
