God helps those, who help themselves, you refuse to hel yourself to knowledge.

Gunnysgt, yes, you know nothing. And refuse to inform yourself.
Not knowing something isn?t bad. No one can know anything. But as the saying goes, God helps those, who help themselves, you refuse to hel yourself to knowledge.

Gunnysgt, please stop using a computer, internet, cars, radio, tv, gunpowder weapons, pharmazeutics, don?t go to doctors,, don?t brush your teeth, don?t use soap, don?t use hot water. These are all things developed by those vile heathens, that were deceived by Satan. Using those tools, you are acknowledging the teachings of Satan.

Do we as Christians embrace the darkness vs. the light. Do we befriend the world so as to be accomadating. We must pray for the lost, those that have been beguiled by Satan, the father of lies. God's Word states Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. Why is this? For he walks about as a roaring lion, seeking to devour, destroy and kill.
Jesus said, He came to save that which is lost. Jesus said He was the truth, the way, the life. God's Word states their is no other name unto Salvation.
As I pick up the Cross of Christ daily, as He commands I cannot speak lies to those that are in peril of eternal damnation. I realize this message is unpleasant to many but this is part of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. God(The Father, The Son[Jesus Christ], The Holy Spirit), is a God of love, mercy and grace. He is also a God of wrath. This once again is an offensive message. It is the Gospel message of Jesus Christ.
Fellow Christians, who profess Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, as you know,the battle that takes place on this message board is the same one that takes place all over the world as I write, It is a spiritual battle not between flesh and blood.
EPHESIANS 6:12
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
This battle is very real for Christians that choose to pick up the Cross of Christ and take to the battle field each and everyday. Entering onto the battlefield is not without cost. One will be buffeted and maligned with every step into the camp of the enemy. I say there is reason to rejoice in this! What we experince pales so much in comparance to Jesus Christ, Our Lord and Savior. It pales in comparance to the saints of old in the Holy Bible. It pales in comparance to the saints that are presently suffering greatly in countries around the globe because they have professed that Jesus Christ, as their Lord and Savior.
We who proclaim Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, the Only Name Unto Salvation will be the recepient of negative comments for the prince of air, desires for All Christians to befriend the world and it's ways. The enemy of our soul whishes for Christians to be entangled with the things of this world so as to de-focus us from the Great Comission of spreading the Gospel message of Jesus Christ. The Gospel Message is one that offends for it is the very Word of God.
HEBREWS 4:12
12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
JOSHUA 24:14
14 Now therefore fear the LORD, and serve him in sincerity and in truth: and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the flood, and in Egypt; and serve ye the LORD.
JOSHUA 24:15
15 And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.
I believe if we are making ourselves as a living sacrafice to the Lord, that this decision is made daily for we choose to walk in the Spirit vs. the flesh.
Regardless of circumstance and/or situation rejoicing in all things. When Paul exhorts, That we are to fight the good fight of faith it indicates that there will be opposition, great at times.
ROMANS 12:1
1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
ROMANS 12:2
2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
PSALMS 119:1
1 Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the LORD.
PSALMS 119:2
2 Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, and that seek him with the whole heart.
As a Christian, I shall be accountable at the Judgement Seat of Christ for what I did with His entire Gospel Message. I shall pray for the lost that eyes might be opened. I shall tell the entire Gospel Message of Jesus Christ, for this I am accountable.

3 For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.

Pertains to topic? Ok.
I don't think wicca itself is evil.
In fact it is a very beautiful system of belief.
But I personally don't believe it is the way to Heaven. However, I respect its believers as much as I expect them to respect me. So long as they have done enough real research to lead them to the conclusion they have come to.
It's hard for me to respect the whole, modern, "wicca is cool 'cause it's on TV" gang. Which is erroneous because the 'wicca' depicted on TV is a far cry from what is truly practiced, and what is truly practiced is a far cry from what the original 'ancient religions' actually were.
Do your research and study into any system of belief before accepting it as whole truth.
My soul searching and research led me to Christianity, and I will defend my stance to anyone. But I respect others' decisions as well.

Rather than debate the point, let's assume that a wiccan really can accomplish what she sets out to do by magic.
