Witchcraft is evil!

‘Do not practice fortune-telling or witchcraft.” (Levit. 19:26)

Witchcraft is made to appear acceptable within entertainment

Witchcraft is becoming more and more accepted. Much of the Halloween celebration, for instance, glorifies witchcraft. Witches are regularly depicted as lovable and very good in movies and television shows such as in the current made for television Hallmark movie series, “The Good Witch”, and in the old TV series “Bewitched” as well as “Sabrina the Teenage witch.”  Witchcraft is presented as very thrilling and exciting to millions of children in the wildly popular Harry Potter book series. The Harry Potter books encourage children to accept a view of witchcraft that is benign, even good and thus will lead them to adopt some form of paganism or Wicca. The first book of the series, entitled "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone", finds the orphan, Harry Potter, embarking into a new realm when he is taken to "Hogwart's School  of Witchcraft and Wizardry." At this occult school, Harry Potter learns how to obtain and use witchcraft equipment. Witchcraft is evil no matter what entertaining form it’s presented in! “Abstain from all appearance of evil.” (1 Thess. 5:22 KJV)

Witchcraft is detestable to the Lord

“…do not let your people practice fortune-telling, or use sorcery, or interpret omens, or engage in witchcraft, or cast spells, or function as mediums or psychics, or call forth the spirits of the dead. Anyone who does these things is detestable to the Lord.” (Deut. 18:11)

People who practice witchcraft will not inherit the Kingdom of God

“Now the actions of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity, promiscuity, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, rivalry, jealously, outbursts of anger, quarrels, conflicts, factions, envy, murder, drunkenness, wild partying, and things like that. I am telling you now, as I have told you in the past, that people who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.” (Gal. 5:19-21)

God will put an end to witchcraft and to those who practice it

“I will tear down your walls and demolish your defenses. I will put an end to all witchcraft, and there will be no more fortune-tellers.” (Micah 5:11-12)
