It amazes me that Christians so often attempt to justify or rationalize things that do not please God. When we reason with our natural, carnal mind, it often doesn't lead us to make spiritually sound decisions. Simply put, the carnal mind is hostile towards God and the things of God. If God says it, Christians should be quick to obey it.
Facts:
- Witchcraft and sorcery do not please God. Those who practice this sin are committing an abomination before God. They will not inherit the kingdom of God. (
Deut 18:9-14;
Gal 5:19-21)
- Witchcraft is clearly a sin (
1 Sam 15:23)
- Biblically, witchcraft and sorcery are evil and is are connected with darkness and deceit.
There is no redeeming value in witchcraft. Justifying Harry Potter by saying that watching "Bewitched," is carnal reasoning. When we delight in evil or those who practice what God refers to as an abomination, it becomes sin to us. God does not make a distinction between white and dark magic. He calls it abomination.
Also, it's interesting that biblically, witchcraft is often connected to those who caused their children to "pass through the fire."
God help us...
