WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT WITCHCRAFT

Religion Based on Truth

Many are drawn to witchcraft today because it seems to be harmless, benign,nature religion.  In some communities it has become accepted.  It is not  feared.  Rather, it has often become trivialized.   In a climate where religious tolerance leads many to embrace even the bizarre, witchcraft has gained considerable respectability.

Indeed, the world of religions has become a marketplace from which people are free to choose one that fits their needs, much as one  would buy a pair of shoes.  (religion/serving God is not a mall)  In contrast, Jesus spoke of only two choices.  He said:  "Go in  through the narrow gate; because broad and spacious is the road leading off into destruction,and many are the  ones going in through it; whereas narrow is the gate  and cramped  the road leading off into life,and few are the ones finding it."  (Matthew 7:13, 14) Naturally, we are free to choose which path to take.  But since our eternal welfare is at stake,that choice is vitally important.  To  achieve spiritual enlightenment, we much pursue the way of truth-the way that is found only in God's Word,  the Bible. (This narrow road is the path I want to take)
