Witchcraft and magic are tools that our adversary uses to show forth his power.
We must do all things in the name of Jesus Christ. It is only by his power and authority that we perform miracles, if we are to call ourselves Christian.

It's been my opinion that the god christians worship is the same god that wiccans and pagans worship. This may seem like a strange claim to make of polytheists, but I was recently discussing the subject with a pagan friend. This was her response (copied from an e-mail):FFH said:Wicca - A polytheistic Neo-Pagan nature religion inspired by pre-Christian western European beliefs, whose central deity is a mother goddess and which includes the use of herbal magic and benign witchcraft.
In my opinion, that "something greater" is the same god I worship.NMR said:Most polytheists I know (myself included) would agree that all the Gods and Goddesses are part of who we call the Lord and the Lady who are themselves part of something greater.
Exactly.jeffrey said:So, how can something be evil that only shows love and compassion for God's earth? Since, as I was told once, all power comes from God, if a Wiccan heals someone, how could that not be from God? And most Wiccans I know don't believe in "The Devil"
Halcyon said:Exactly.
Jesus was once accused of using the power of Beezebub to cast out demons, but he informed his accusers of the obvious - that evil would not destroy other evil, only good can.
Therefore it should be obvious to anyone that the love, compassion and good will that Wicca instills in people can come only from the good.
I don't disagree, but why do you feel it's necessary?michel said:I agree, but I would add that I believe that the true healer always tells the person he is healing that the power of healing is God's; to heal as though I was the source from whence the healing power came, I would call being dishonest.
