![CAN WE ACHIEVE PERFECT HEALTH?
[2 of 6] No, but American gurus like Kenneth Copeland say we can. He is a huge influence in the Word of Faith movement. Here's his quote & notice he's even using Hindu terms like meditation as he also whips out New Age lingo, teaching that we have a God force we can tap into to create anything we desire (like perfect health): "You began to meditate on those scriptures until you built an inner image of yourself healed. As that image grew more crisp and clear, you began to expect—or hope for—that image to become reality... You'll be expecting the very presence of God to rise up in you so powerfully that instead of believing for healing every six weeks, you'll walk in divine health every day!” | image tagged in health,healing,hindu,guru,god,bible | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/45t1z6.jpg)
![DOES “WICCA” JUST MEAN “WITCHCRAFT?” Yes! "Wicca is a modern-day, nature-based pagan religion.” Can I translate that for you? It's old-fashioned witchcraft. "Though rituals and practices vary among people who identify as Wiccan, most observations include the festival celebrations of solstices and equinoxes, [the positioning of the moon and stars,] the honoring of a male god and a female goddess, and the incorporation of herbalism and other natural objects into rituals. Wiccans practice their religion according to an ethical code, and many believe in reincarnation.” Those ethics tell them to do whatever they want as long as it doesn't hurt anyone. But if that's true, why are witches (right now) attempting to place hexes on us for producing a study on the Bible's warning against witchcraft? I thought you said you won't hurt people. That's called hypocrisy and, according
to some in the South, a person doing that is a "Hypo-Crite." | image tagged in witchcraft,wicca,bible,pagan,god,worship | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/4ksbgt.jpg)
![WHY SHOULD CHRISTIANS STUDY THE OCCULT, WITCHCRAFT, AND SATANISM?
[1 of 2] So many times in the Bible, God tells us to stay away from the occult practices that are glamorized by Hollywood and ignored by most in the Church, including those who go online to comment that we Christians don't need to learn about such evil. But that advocates burying our heads in the sand, which helps no one and only facilitates the continued demonic consequences for unsuspecting men, women, and children. Warnings against occult practices like witchcraft are all over the Bible because they are ABHORRENT to God. The reality of where it leads, to evils like demon connections and human sacrifice, should be disturbing and serious enough for Christians, that it prompts us to deal with it in a biblical way. As vile as the information is, at least we will have been biblically trained on how to deal with this evil. | image tagged in satanism,occult,witchcraft,god,bible,christian | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/4ejway.jpg)
![ARE CHRISTIANS TO BLAME FOR THE CRUSADES AND THE SALEM WITCH TRIALS? [2 of 3] The people convicting witches and carrying out death sentences made two mistakes. First, the witches were tried in court during this Christian Age ruled by our New Testament, a New Covenant of grace. Those meting out the punishment for the convicted witches were applying the Old Testament standard that has not been applicable for this past two thousand years of the Christian Church Age. Persecutors of witches during that time of unchristian sentencing in the courts were jumping back to Old Testament directives like those in Exodus 22 and Leviticus 20:"Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live,” and "A man or woman that hath a familiar spirit [demon,] or that is a wizard, shall surely be put to death: they shall stone them with stones: their blood shall be upon them.”; So, the people in that day cited Bible verses like those as the reason to give the death penalty to some of the convicted witches. But, if that were the true way to handle it, then why does Acts 19 show Paul not doing the same when he was ministering to Ephesus with new Christians that had been witches and other occultists? Those people burned their expensive witchcraft books and confessed their sinful deeds. Instead of stoning them as required in the Old Testament, Paul welcomed them when they confessed and repented of their sins. Why? Because today and throughout the New Covenant under the New Testament, we don't kill witches. Like Jesus would, we witness to them. That does not mean we
condone occult behavior but we do want to witness to them. | image tagged in witch trials,witch,salem,god,bible,christian | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/4qj6e1.jpg)
![WHY IS WICCA WITCHCRAFT MASSIVELY INCREASING?
[2 or 3] While secular society is heavily promoting every aspect of witchcraft and other occult practices, the Church remains silent, allowing it to rise quickly. God called this out 2000 years ago with Paul's excellent instructions for young Pastor Timothy in 2 Timothy 4:1-5:"In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead, and in view of his appearing and his kingdom, I give you this charge: Preach the word..." Is Paul telling Timothy to pick and choose whatever he’d like from God's Word? No! And besides chopping out prophecy, Churches today have also stopped talking about sin, hell, and repentance. Pretty soon the only topics left have to do with the biblical table of weights and measures. Is that what Paul is suggesting young Timothy should preach about? No! Paul said to preach the Word, which means all of it and not just what people might like! Paul continues:"Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage..." According to that, it looks like two thirds of the time should be correcting and rebuking. The people should be squirming in their seats as they are corrected and rebuked by God's Word in the Bible. If you're at a Church where you never feel corrected or rebuked, someone is not teaching the Bible. Think about that. In quoting from the Bible, if all you ever get is encouraged, someone is skipping two thirds of the Scripture and that's not a faithful preacher, teacher, Sunday school helper, or whoever it is. | image tagged in wicca,witchcraft,occult,christian,bible,god | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/4qnez5.jpg)
