Leviticus 19:31 “‘Do not turn to mediums or seek out spiritists, for you will be defiled by them. I am the Lord your God. [Spirituality & Religion]

@Harriet03 I know what Jesus would say as they were lighting the stake,


Let him who is without sin strike the first match!

@TheWildEcho Or "daddys will"!

@Harriet03 Because those spirits are demons, so don't be deceived by them. If you are in Christ you are safe. He will protect you from eternal death.

@Carazaa Grow up!!

@Harriet03 I worked at a school many years ago and they sent me about 30 students from a hospital for suicide attempts one year. They were all Wicca, and they all had the same teacher who they said was Wicca. I did not know any of these kids nor the teacher before they were sent to me. Wicca is Satanic!

@Carazaa Would you burn them?

@Harriet03 I am here to help people, for no other reason!

We are to [i]love [/i]people not hate people. No true Christian is hateful. There are many cults who say they are Christian but they are NOT!

Jesus says "These are those who love me, those who keep my commandments."

We are to love people, the rapist, the murderer, the republicans, the democrats, the thief, the child abuser, the homosexual, the heterosexual, the haters, the witches, and the cults leaders, ALL people!! 🤗

@MarmeeMarch The state can prosecute, but Jesus says [b]"forgive 70x7 times"[/b], and [b]"Love your enemies, and pray for those who despitefully use you"[/b] and[b] "turn the other cheek."[/b]

🤦‍♀️

@Harriet03 Don't tell me I didn't warn you! There is a reason why people who love Jesus are successful!

@MarmeeMarch No

@MarmeeMarch It did ... and before Europeans found out about the Americas and elsewhere, and tried to convert those continent's own residents. Although to be fair they didn't take burning at the stake with them, at least not to North America, as far as I know. I think some of the Spanish conquerors used it in S. America, against some of the local religions' priests.

Didn't stop that Salem "Witches" hysteria though.

Anyway it was far more than the Church and religion that found and condemned "witches" for several hundred years around Europe. Though with at least tacit Church support, it was a sort of "conspiracy fantasy" of the time, based on belief in and fear of anything thought "supernatural" or not "normal".

At one point witch-killing was so rife in France that the Pope stopped it.

In England, most so-called witches were hanged*, not burnt alive. That was reserved for heretics and murderers. Though at least less barbaric, it was still a horrible execution of the innocent, weak and defenceless by the strong but fearful and ignorant.

Very often the witchcraft fear was down to inability to differentiate correlation, or co-incidence, from cause... A lesson still not learnt.

'

*"Hanged" is the correct legal term, not "hung"; and in those days by gibbet not gallows.
