![IS MEDITATION OKAY? [2 of 4] The Hindu technique of mediation is something Jesus warned us about. He told us not to pray like the pagans, who babble on and on. The Greek root is almost a direct translation from "barbar," referring to the barbarians who lived in foreign lands. The Greeks called them barbarians because when the Greeks heard them speak, it just sounded like, "brah, brah, brah, brah, brah, brah, brah…”; So, Jesus is telling us not to be like the pagans, who sound like barbarians when they pray to their idols. And that is precisely what mantras during meditation are; just repetitious babbling. Jesus said not to do it because it’s not the same as biblical prayer. When we Christians pray, obviously it is not focusing our mind on repetition of meaningless words or phrases. We pray directly to God, speaking to Him using our mind and intelligible words to have a conversation; telling Him how much we love Him and asking for help. | image tagged in meditation,hindu,prayer,bible,god,pagan | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/42d7ol.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)
