Default why can't people see that witchcraft is evil?

Its evil and comes from satan! now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; adultery, fornication,uncleanness,lasciviousness, idolatry,witchcraft, hatred, variance,emulations,wrath,strife,seditions,heresie s,envyings, murders, drunkenness,revellings, and such like; of which i tell you before as i have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the Kingdom of God. but the fruit of the Spirit is love,joy,peacelongsuffering,gentleness,goodness,fa ith,meekness,temperance; againt such there is no law. and they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with affections and lusts. if we live in the Spirit let us also walk in the Spirit. let us not be desirous of vain glory,provoking one another,envying one another. Galatians 6 chapter 5 verse 17-26 Look this up in the Holy Bible. This is God's word! Praying for the lost! Jesus loves you all. I know what witchcraft and other evil stuff is. Read God's word. The Holy Bible. God says its evil
and that it will not enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Its God's word. Not mine
I know witchcraft is evil and comes from satan. God say's it is in the Bible and I know all about how evil it is!
christianty is not pagan! read the bible

From an intolerant question of yours *yesterday*, I think *YOU* are kinda "evil." ... This question rather confirms it.
DOES YOUR "GOD" ALWAYS PROMOTE THIS NASTINESS?

Because science has pr oven that there's no such thing as witchcraft. So they can't be evil if they don't exist. and/or there powers are useless.

However there are 'bad' people, but no witches..

Witchcraft is harmless. Pentecostals and Fundies are evil.

No religion is evil on it's own, it's the practice rs intentions that make it good or evil.

OK, so don't be a witch.

Realize that most of the world does not recognize the bible as the word of God. If you do, fine, but allow others to have their own beliefs.

People want to be their own gods! Witchcraft gives them some hope of power and that is what they really want.

Satan is a mythical being, as is his Antipodes, God
Witchcraft is not evil, it is just a silly waste of time, like any other religious belief.

If I remember correctly, Christianity was considered a 'pagan' religion long ago.

Witchcraft is harmless, it's not real. But regardless, Wiccans keep to themselves, they don't try to force the government to enforce and acknowledge their faith.

Mankind was given the freedom of choice by our maker, so therefore if you do not allow yourself to let others make choices, even if they don't agree with yours, then you are setting yourself up as judge, and as far as I know that is God's job---so unless you are without sin ---quit condemning others for their choices

Why can't everyone see that Yahweh is evil and means only pain and trouble for mankind? Why are so many fooled by this false god?

Not everyone has the same idea of what evil is. The basis of witchcraft is Wicca which is a religion of nature worship. I have known more than one Wiccan in my life and they have been good kind people. I'm not saying that all Wiccans are good people, just as I would say that not all Christians are good people.

Because it isn't. The bible was written 2000 years ago by sheepherders who thought the earth was flat.

Think about it instead of living stuck in your ancient book.

Why do Christians down talk others religions? everyone doesn't want to follow your religious path, and it's not your place to tell them otherwise. Since you believe so hugely in god, then why can't you leave it between him and that person?! I find funny when you people get on here ranting and raving, when you 1. know nothing of the religion, 2. have more than enough skeletons in your closet,...

Matthew 7:1 Judge not, that ye be not judged.
2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
3 And why behold est thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but consider est not the beam that is in thine own eye?
4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?
5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.

Why can't you stop putting forth other people's ideas as your own and be a free thinker for a change? For that matter, why can't you stop for a split second and consider the possibility that your opinion isn't fact and other people are harming no one by not believing as you do?!

The sad fact remains that this is not God's world. God's Kingdom is still not of this world, as Jesus Christ made clear in John 18:36. It is even more tragic that another being is ruler of this world, right here and right now?Satan the devil.

The apostle Paul described the spiritual blindness that envelops the world and pointed out the source of that blindness. "But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them" (2 Corinthians 4:3, 4). Who is the god of this age? He is none other than Satan, the great fallen super angel (Ezekiel 28:14-17). He is truly this world's ruler. Jesus Christ recognized that, saying that in the judgment "the ruler of this world will be cast out" (John 12:31).

Although we cannot see Satan, his influence on the world is pervasive. Paul understood this, telling the members in Ephesus, "And you He [God] made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins, in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience" (Ephesians 2:1, 2). The result of the devil's influence is that, before conversion, "we all once conducted ourselves in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, just as the others" (verse 3).

Satan spiritually influences humanity to reject God and God's law. Under Satan's influence, "the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can [it] be" (Romans 8:7). Separated from God, man chooses to go his own way, with devastating and tragic results. "There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death" (Proverbs 14:12; 16:25).

Satan's influence is so great that he "deceives the whole world" (Revelation 12:9). The entire world "lies under the sway of the wicked one" (1 John 5:19). Under Satan's influence, humanity has rejected God's revelation and guidance and built societies and civilizations on a wrong foundation.

When Jesus Christ returns, "the kingdoms of this world [will] become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever!" (Revelation 11:15). Satan's world, built on a foundation of lies and deception, will come crashing down, replaced by the Kingdom of truth and light.

Anyone who claims to speak for god is a lunatic or a schizophrenic. And all of the good and bad things you mentioned are things that humans do, not supernatural beings. Great avatar. Love the show. But it's fantasy, not reality. Some people are born without a conscience, but not most. And even most of them don't go on to do evil things. They just don't feel for others. Everyone else is simply living their lives, whether it's magical thinking, or faith, or whatever. Good and evil actions are choices people make, not outside influences. You have total control over whether you believe something or don't believe it. If you are tricked, it's not evil witchcraft since that wouldn't be real. Just like magicians are not performing magic, it's just tricks. ANd you can't heal someone by praying over them. All good and all evil on the part of humans is based entirely on good or bad CHOICES--words, deeds, behavior, etc. Not on their beliefs or fantasies or coincidences. Someone isn't good or bad because of what they think. Character is built upon the choices they make every day. Quoting from a 2000 year old book won't change this.

no. the reason why "witch raft" is evil in Christianity is due to HISTORY and CULTURE, way back to Constantinople, when the council was brought together to accept Catholicism as the religion of Rome. the council argued about what was "right" and "wrong" to the Bible, what should be kept, what should be thrown away. The Church has been doing this for AGES. Constantinople was Pagan, and they forced him to renounce his paganism and accept Chrisitanity as a religion for his people. By denouncing paganism, it led Christians to believe that this religion was "evil" and should be unacceptable.
Paganism has been around so much longer than Christianity. This does not make it evil. Just because you have been too naive and ignorant enough to fall into the traps of the Church does not mean that others will follow. the whole catholic church is corrupt. It's people like you that have ruined Catholicism. In principle, Catholicism is a great religion, which is why I used to practice it. But now it is so twisted and manipulated and concerned for only money that it isn't worth it anymore
Taoism is the way to go!

you are SO uncultured and so close-minded. It's people like you that keeps the world from uniting and achieving World Peace.

Why can't people see that seeing evil everywhere is a projection of their own inner wickedness?
