Bible Question:
Just curious about the laws surrounding the ten commandments and the proclamation: Exodus 22:18 Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live. What is a witch, and who should kill her? |
Bible Answer: Greetings and welcome to the forum! A witch is a person who practiced sorcery. Sorcery was punishable by death because it was a crime against God Himself. To invoke evil powers violated the first commmandment to "Have no other Gods". Sorcery was teaming up with Satan instead of God. Witchcraft is not a game. God would have all witches exterminated, so great is their degree of wickedness before Him. (KJV Commentary). prayon |
