Did you know that Christians actually believe in witches?

Question

I did not realize that Christians still really believed in witches. I have been talking with some Christians recently and to some Mormons that came to my door the other day. They told me they believe in demons, witches, devils and angels. I was flabbergasted. For some reason I assumed after they burned thousands of innocent people alive at the stake they realized not to take the bible literally. I know that there are still some who do like the Westboro baptists that protest soldiers funerals, but I thought it was just the fringe crazies who still thought like that. I was told that people can be 'possessed' by demons and devils and that witches can CAST SPELLS!!!!!. I asked one Christian about a murderer here in Maryland who has been diagnosed as a sociopath. He murdered his neighbor during a paranoid delusion. The Christian told me (and really believed) that a devil came up from under ground and was controlling him. So Christians aren't really embarrassed by the Salem witch trials or the Spanish Inquisition because they still think people are witches. Did anyone elso know that in the 21st century we still have people that believe this stuff?

Answer 1

I'm not surprised, they are mentioned in the Bible afterall. For every verse in the Bible you can find a Christian who believes it to be 100% true and another who believes that it was 'obviously' not meant to be taken literally.

Answer 2

I'm Christian and don't believe in witches. There are the deluded who like to play at pretending to be witches, but there is no such thing. Atheist are real, however.



Did you know that atheism has two sides as well? There are those who have researched their position and came to believe there is no God. Then there are those who "think" they are atheist, having never investigated their position on the spiritual. I liken this latter type to witches. Play acting.



Give me an honest atheist any day over someone playing at being a witch.

Answer 3

Did you know that atheist actually believe in lightning Struck Pond scum ?

I did not realize that atheist actually believed that the Universe and this Planet just came from the nothingness (They are using a new spin on this saying quantum mechanics) and they actually believe that they evolved from a single cell organism by fabricating a pseudo scince and then brainwashing themselves into believing it.



I assumed after Millions have been slaughtered by atheist rulers (More were slaughtered under atheism then in all religious wars fought in alll history combined)



Thing about it is ? atheist are not embarassed about it, they make lousy excuses to justify this.



It is amazing that anyone in the 21st century would actually believe this Crap.

Answer 4

Witches are a fact, at least people who call themselves witches are a fact, but I think you are thinking they mean they believe in witches that can do real magic. I don't think many people believe in those kinds of witches these days.



It makes sense that people of faith would believe in such things as evil spirits, devils, and angels because the Bible mentions them. What is really illogical, is when an atheist says they believe in ghosts. Why would someone who doesn't believe in the afterlife, believe in ghosts?

Answer 5

Whom do you think Jesus cast out and you do not believe there still demons among us.



Their trick is to enter a argument and bring forth Sin then leave.



Not Only Demons but those that have not been Born Again instead of their soul going downward they are left to haunt houses as servants of Satan to also bring forth Sin. Children especially. There easy to clear from your home. Take the oil and anoint the windows and doors in Name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost by saying, "I seal this wall from any Foul Spirit to enter."

Then go for some Holy Water which you can get from any clear stream and start from back room and sprinkle in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost and drive them out. Your hair just my stand on end as you fill them fight you. Oh don't forget to anoint yourself.



As for witches and others that play with Satan, I believe many of the missing children have been use by them in gaining power from Satan by you know what to them. Man, I wish it was not so.

Answer 6

Not all Christians believe in magical witches. Some do, some don't. Puritans believed in them, but not all Christians share their beliefs.

Respect other people's opinions. Ridiculing or otherwise persecuting or mistreating others due to their religion, or for any reason, is NOT acceptable.

Answer 7

Of course there are witches, but they are definately not evil. They believe that whatever "eneregies" you send out come back to you times three. So to cast evil spells would be anathema or something.

Answer 8

Many things Christians believe want many any sense at all. If we have a questioned; that question never been answered or get the wrong one, which would lead to another question, which kept continues; Never be straight forward. Why there's is truth Christal clear; but never want to accept it the shameful thing that even for a genius (whom can not be genius anyway) .

Answer 9

Yes, Christians acknowledges the existence of Neo-Pagan Wiccans.
