1 | nothing to do with witchcraft, sorcery | Ex 22:18 | Princess MJ | 168003 | ||
See Exodus 22:18 God speaks very strongly about witchcraft and sorcery. Sorcery was punishable by death. it was a crime against God himself. To envoke evil powers violated the first commandment to "have no other gods." Sorcery was rebellion against God and his authority. In essence, it was teaming up with Satan instead of with God. See Leviticus 19:31, Leviticus 20:6 and 20:27. See Acts 19:18-19. Deuteronomy 18:10-13 You read all throught the new testament about unclean spirits. this means demon-possessed. we know that evil spirits can use the human body to distort and destroy man's relationship with God and our likeness to him. While it is important to recognize their evil activity so that we can stay away from demons, we should avoid any curiosity about involvement with demonic forces or the occult. See James 4:7 I could go on and on about this however I hope you will research the scripture I have given you and you decide yourself. In His Grip Princess MJ |

Dear MJ, It might be pertinent to point the following passage to people: The rest of mankind, who were not killed by these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands nor give up worshiping demons and idols of gold and silver and bronze and stone and wood, which cannot see or hear or walk, nor did they repent of their murders or their sorceries or their sexual immorality or their thefts. (Revelation 9:20-21 ESV) The word translated "sorceries" here is the Greek word "pharmakeia." That's where we get our modern term "pharmacy." I'd be willing to posit that what we call "substance abuse" is right along the same lines as what the Bible is condemning here. In Him, Doc |

Dear Doc: Thanks for pointing this out, I think the more scripture pointed out about sorceries, or witch craft is very important to help others, whom are questioning it,to see the importance of staying away from sin........ We need to remember that ANY temptation entertained today becomes sin tomorrow, then a habit the next day, then death and separation from God. (see James 1:15) To think you could never become this evil (as they spoke about in Rev 9:20,21) is the first step toward a hard heart. We all need to Acknowledge our needs to confess our sins before God. Any How, Thank You Doc for being there to help others see the light. In His Grip Princess MJ |
