Sorcery implies human ability to control the natural world through mystical or paranormal means.
To be honest, I've never seen anything I would believe to be sorcery.
From what I can see Sorcery or Magic seem to be human inventions. No less than religion is as far as many people are concerned.
If you are Christian and believe in God's will, don't forget that God did not create everything in this world.
God gave humans free will and that is a powerful force, it will create as well as destroy.
God gave us the means to make this world Eden or Hell. Too bad he gave us human nature as well. But it would be no achievement at all to create a fair and just world if we were not capable of inequity and injustice.
God set this world spinning a long time ago and only checks in on us every now and then. He has no care for what games we might play. He wants to see what we are capable of in the long term.
Killing anybody, even sorcerers, breaks God's commandments and the Word of Christ.

God did not create sorcery. He created all forces and principalities but sorcery is neither of those, it is what a person does when trying to harness, understand or control those powers. The forces created by God all have a purpose and a place, one of the problems with sorcery is we mess around in things we do not understand and bring evil upon our own heads!
For someone who doesnt believe in God you seem very interested in his creations. Dont fight yourself. If you have questions its because somwhere inside you want Truth. Seek it carefully.

Angels have special powers...the fallen angels brought them to earth. They perverted the powers God gave them.
EDIT: Like humans angels were given free will to make choices, but with choices come consequences. When the fallen angels lost their home in the heavens...they took wives of men...they dishonored their spiritual bodies, taught sorceries and created a people that deviated from God. This is why God sent the flood. We are seeing the fulfillment of Biblical truth at this time. The children of disobedience are rearing their heads.

Umm....He didn't create sorcery. Sorcery is nothing more that science that has not been discovered yet. Like if I brought a lighter into an old town, and lighted it, everyone would think I'm a wizard.

we are not supposed to obey a book. we obey God. And though He did make people who believe they can perform "sorcery" .. there arent any real sorcerors or else the world would be a much wilder place than it actually is.

Sorcery is magic. Dealing with magic can lead to the devil, possession, etc. You don't want to mess with it. It's altogether evil.
God didn't create it. Man did...with help of course, from down south. (the devil) It's his scheme to get more souls into hell.

Sorcery and the passages about them are mostly written by whom, Man! Man who witnessed God and he told him these things. Sorcery is a negative conigtation to describe someone who pratices left hand magick, why sorcery itself is not evil incarnate, but the intent of the person who uses it. Sorcery and magick pre-date christianity, learn your history. According to the bible the earth is only like 2 million years old..well please explain to me all the archological finds that pre-date the bible?
It's nice how you can disagree and rate me low just because you are uneducated. It's written in history...everything is perception and therefore reality is perception and interpretation which is exaclty what the bible is...IT WASN'T WRITTEN BY A GOD, BUT BY MAN'S INTERPREATATION OF GOD IS HE EXISTED, WHICH I DON'T THINK HE DOES EITHER BECAUSE I'M A PAGAN!

God did not create sorcery. The devils did, through their gradual corruption of the hearts and minds of men and women. It is their way of gaining allegiance and worship from those who would lust after the supernatural abilities they offer and tempt us with.

Everyone has free will of course... so anything is possible in that regard.
And I have to add that Jesus himself taught to forgive others... and he spoke of a Forgiving Father in the story of the Prodigal Son. So I think you might be speaking about "popular" theology rather than sound Christian teachings.
This book might be helpful in making the distinction between "popular theology" and the things Jesus actually preached.
There is quite a difference at times.
