>>Is wicca good or evil?

Wicca is evil and anyone who thinks otherwise is deceived.

Galatians 5:19-23
Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, [20] Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, [21] Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the 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. [22] But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, [23] Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

The Greek word for witchcraft is pharmakeia, where we get our english word: pharmacy. There is a lot of witchcraft out there, even in the churchs. The Bible says that it is as the sin of rebellion. It is a work of the flesh. Those who are lead by the Holy Spirit know how to avoid it. We need to be careful when we go to man for help with our problems, when we should be going to God. Thanks, JohnR7

Wicca is no more or less wrong than ANY other religion.

So there!

Wicca is paganism and paganism is the worship of
the creation rather than the CREATOR. A wiccan
places emphasis on his/her own abilities to
control the "natural" environment (potions, charms,
spells). It is manipulative and subversive...
It is not of love but control. It promotes self.

My answer is: sad!

I think it's sad that people could feel so alienated from God that they would have to follow a religion that was invented in a fiction novel written in the 1940's by a prison inmate, and would believe a history that has no basis in reality.

And that's my final answer.

If it produces some good fruit it can't be all bad.

"I have other sheep you know not of...."

 

[athames]

good fruit.. worshipping mother earth etc... no, I hardly think so.

When I first met my current pastor, he had me read the book the Beautiful Side of Evil. I spent over a year working with him, dealing with my past, before I could be saved. One aspect of my past was to look to alternative religions. In this book, it clearly shows how evil the occult is. Some people say they are doing white witchcraft, but that is a lie. You see, satan is a liar, and he will masquerade as good to trick people to take the wrong step. Once they stray far from the path, satan destroys them. I beg anyone thinking of the occult to consider their choice very seriously.

 

[Dave Ulchers]

Still, anyone who has a little as a mustard seed's worth of faith in Jesus can do white witchcraft. Even Jesus was accused of being a Satanist....

 

[Religious Crisis]

make sure you say "yes" or "no" so that I can get a picture of what everyone thinks, but it is also good to add why you think what you do.

 

[Augustine]

Anyone worshiping false gods is doing something that is positively evil. Objectively (at the very least) it is a horrible injustice, and an affront to the first commandment.

Thus a religion built upon idolatry, is evil.

[GLOW=blue]I consider myself a good Christian! I have wiccan friends and decided to see what they were talking about, so i did some research...SERIOUS, STRENUOUS, LONG, IN DEPTH, reading!
And I am sorry to inform the author of the above quote, but you are HORRIBLY misinformed about wicca... just thought I should let you know. [/GLOW]

 

[good_news]

You are talking more about Santeria than Wicca...

 

[good_news]

YES! If you want 2 know why look for my thread titled "The truth of Wicca"

 

[Irwin Hawkins]

Wow Augustine! You've got a big mouth, but you sure speak the truth! This is another weapon of satan's used against Jesus Christ.

With the love of Jesus Christ.

Any other comments?

Wicca is no more or less evil than any other religion on this planet, as stated before. Christians think Wiccans are deceived by Satan, Muslims (well.. the ones in the middle east) think Christianity is evil, Jewish people are kind of.. there, Wiccans, not really sure about Wiccans.

First off, Wicca is not about promotion of self. Last time I checked it was dealing with magickal energies from the earth, NOT Satanism. Promotion of self is Satanism.

Lambslove.. A religion based off a fictional book written in the 1940's by a prison inmate.. Err. That's new, very, very new. Last time I checked, Wicca was based off of acient witchcraft and pagan religions.

Therefore, I would have to say.. no.

But of course, this is from a neutral (Undecided Agnostic) viewpoint. Not a religious one.

 

[Religious Crisis]

Well %73 think that it is bad.

I am disgusted, and it will be apparent also. HOW DARE PEOPLE CALL OTHERS EVIL? I believe really what is sad is the christian belief that anyone who doesnt follow the propet jesus and this male god, are evil. You do not know for fact that this is the one true way. You merely believe it to the point of blindness. I see why the world is falling to pieces. I am done for this evening.

Most of today's witches prefer to be called "wiccans" instead of witches. The very name witch conjures mental images associated with evil and they want to change that. They go to great lengths to redefine themselves by using the term wicca. But, the word witch comes from the Old English word wicca (masculine) wicce (feminine) which means to practice sorcery. In fact our English word wicked is from the root word wicca and literally means witch-like. As early as 890 A.D. the word "wiccan" was used to identify witches "in the Laws of King Alfred." In short, changing the name from witch to wiccan is an attempt at historical revisionism. A witch or wiccan is, by the very name, a defining word for wickedness.
