Religion See other Religion Articles Title: WICCA AND SATANISM Are they really totally unrelated as Wiccans claim? We have been receiving threats from Wicca of litigation and prophecies of our death. What is the problem? Answer: One thing alone-- Our contention that Satan is the lord and master and object of worship of Wicca. Wicca, an ancient offshoot of witchcraft and Druidism, claims they have nothing to do with Satan. So, here is the reason we say that Wicca's god is Satan, according to the King James Bible. Jesus speaks to the Pharisees, but He speaks to ALL men and women who reject His exclusive Lordship over them. John 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. The nature of Satan as a murderer is seen in witchcraft's and Wicca's practice of sacrificing animals and babies. Can Wiccans and Satanists dream up doctrines which look religious and give them self-confidence in rejecting Jesus? Jeremiah 17:9 The heart (of man) is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? Where did the first Satanic doctrine hatch? Eve had listened to Satan as he tempted her to sin against God. She rebelled and ate the fruit, just as Wiccans and Satanists have done today. Thus, God said there would be enmity between God's seed-people and Satan's seed-people from then on until the earth was destroyed in the future. Genesis 3:15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. The evil men who are the seed of Satan are defined by Jesus much later. Matthew 13:38 The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one; 39 The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels. 40 As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world. 41 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; 42 And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. 43 Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear. There is NO gray area. Either men are good seed, or they are tare, or weed, seed. The product of Satanic seed, whether Wiccans, Satanists, or New Agers, will burn in hell. They are the same family. There is no third way! Note next that a sorcerer (which is the King James Bible name for a witch-- still is for that matter) is a "child of the devil." "The devil" is Satan in the Bible, and witches are his children. Thus, any worship, whether to Mother Nature, Lucifer, Pan, Kali, The "Blessed Virgin," Mithra, Shiva, Old Nick or any other stand in, is in fact Satan worship, for Satan IS the devil. Acts 13:8 But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn away the deputy from the faith. 9 Then Saul, (who also is called Paul,) filled with the Holy Ghost, set his eyes on him. 10 And said, O full of all subtilty and all mischief, thou child of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord? Thus, Sorcerer (witch) equals Child of The Devil (Satan). Wiccans are not alone. ALL who reject Christ as absolute Lord of their life are Satan worshipers in their heart. 1 John 3:8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. 9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. 10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother. There are just two churches if you will-- The Church of Jesus Christ and the church of Satan. No third way exists. In the coming Great Tribulation the wrath of God is poured out on all who rebel against God. Note that they who have been punished severely by God six times still hang onto four sins. "Sorceries," which is Wicca, along with Satanism and witchcraft today, is one sin men WILL NOT give up. Revelation 9:20 And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk: 21 Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts. Those who reject the Lord Jesus Christ as their sole Master are rebels, and witchcraft is their religion. That they call themselves Druids, Wiccans, Pagans, Cabbalists, or Satanists is incidental and pointless. They are ALL witches by religion. 1 Samuel 15:23 For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, he hath also rejected thee from being king. The familiar spirit below is NOT the spirit of God. So, it is Satan. There is no other spirit, contrary to the imaginations of Satanists, Pagans, and Wiccans. 2 Chronicles 33:1 Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty and five years in Jerusalem: 2 But did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, like unto the abominations of the heathen, whom the LORD had cast out before the children of Israel. 3 For he built again the high places which Hezekiah his father had broken down, and he reared up altars for Baalim, and made groves, and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served them. 4 Also he built altars in the house of the LORD, whereof the LORD had said, In Jerusalem shall my name be for ever. 5 And he built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the LORD. 6 And he caused his children to pass through the fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom: also he observed times, and used enchantments, and used witchcraft, and dealt with a familiar spirit, and with wizards: he wrought much evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger. 7 And he set a carved image, the idol which he had made, in the house of God, of which God had said to David and to Solomon his son, In this house, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen before all the tribes of Israel, will I put my name for ever: Note the associations Wiccans and Satanists share in their cult of witchcraft. There are only two masters, two religions, two doctrinal systems. No amount of shuckin and jivin can alter this truth in God's Holy Word. Galatians 5:19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, 21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. 24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. 25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Five "I Will" statements are made by Lucifer, who is Satan. In the past, Satan was without sin, but sin was found in him, and his five acts of rebellion were in the form of self-will assertion. The number Five is associated with death in the Bible. Wicca, witchcraft, and Satanism teach that you are to follow YOUR will. The only distinction between Wicca and Satanism is that Wicca claims to restrain the hurting of others. Ironically, many Wiccans have started in the self-will God hatred only to progress on to Human and animal sacrifice. They hate this truth being raised before their eyes, and some Wiccans have actually deceived themselves into believing their lies. So did Hitler, one of history's most famous witches and human sacrifice gurus. Isaiah 14:9 Hell from beneath is moved for thee to meet thee at thy coming: it stirreth up the dead for thee, even all the chief ones of the earth; it hath raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations. 10 All they shall speak and say unto thee, Art thou also become weak as we? art thou become like unto us? 11 Thy pomp is brought down to the grave, and the noise of thy viols: the worm is spread under thee, and the worms cover thee. 12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! 13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: 14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. 15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit. Who was there supervising the fall from heaven of Satan? Jesus was in charge for He was the creator of Satan. Without Jesus was not anything made that was made. John 1 Luke 10:18 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. 19 Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. 20 Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven. Conclusion: We now see that ALL who rebel against God and His Son, Jesus Christ, are in the same religion. What THEY think they are is 100% beside the point. Whether Wiccans, Hindus, Satanists, Nazis, Pagan, "Christian" pagans, "Christian" witches, or just beer drinking generic rebels, they are ALL members of the religion of Satan worship and Devil worship. Their rebellion and self-exaltation is their choice by default. They are full members of Satan's church, and they will spend eternity with Satan covered with maggots and burning in flames. I wish they would repent and turn to Jesus Christ as their absolute Lord. It is beyond imagination what they will suffer for their present choices. This is the definition given by the King James Bible, which is the last and only authority on this subject. Acts 3:19 Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord. We are here to help you if you want to repent and be delivered from this bondage. Shalom. LINKS TO SATANIC AND NEW AGE SITES ON THE Web: We suggest only researchers use these links.

Matthew 13:38 The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one; 39 The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels. 40 As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world. 41 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; 42 And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. 43 Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father.

Note next that a sorcerer (which is the King James Bible name for a witch-- still is for that matter) is a "child of the devil." "The devil" is Satan in the Bible, and witches are his children. Thus, any worship, whether to Mother Nature, Lucifer, Pan, Kali, The "Blessed Virgin," Mithra, Shiva, Old Nick or any other stand in, is in fact Satan worship, for Satan IS the devil.
Just finished reading your thread on your forum - admit it, you are picking a fight here to get people to come there and fight with you, hence, increasing YOUR numbers.
i did too. it sickened me.
What sickens you. God said witches are from the devil. Im just the messanger. Do you not believe the word of God?
Villager - We have found a witch. May we burn her? To discover a witch was a fairly simple affair. Anyone with a wart or mole on their face, perhaps lived alone with only a pet for company and liked herb- gardening could be accused of the crime of being a witch. Once you had your accused witch there were various ways of testing their guilt. Early methods of testing to see if the accused was in fact a witch were simply forms of torture , that any sane person would succumb to and confess to being a witch. Some of the more familiar were; Dunking - The witch would be tied to a contraption known as a dunking stool, which would then be lowered into a fast flowing river, lake or large water container (usually blessed), to see if they would float. If able to float, then the accused was possessed with the 'Spirit of Satan' and ergo, a witch. Questions of whether clothing had filled with air and formed a convenient buoyancy aid were usually dismissed out of hand. If, however, the 'witch' drowned or died of hypothermia, they had obviously not been under Satan's protective watch, and were therefore innocent. Unfortunately for the person concerned, they were also dead, so it all ceased to be of relevance. Scales of Justice - An alternative trial was often to weigh the accused against a copy of the Holy Bible. If heavier than the book, the accused was being pulled down by the weight of the 'Spirit of Satan', and therefore a witch. If however, the good book proved the weightier, the person was not a witch and was free to go. Again questions of simple physics were discarded as irrelevant. Variations of this method were used, including weighing the witch against other holy relics, or indeed any object that was undoubtedly lighter than the accused. Pricking the Flesh - This involved finding a mark of Satan upon the accused, usually a mole, wart, scar, skin blemish, birthmark or even third nipple . Once found, an accuser would push a knife or needle into the irregularity. If the wound drew blood, the 'witch' was innocent of the charge. If, however, no blood flowed from the wound, allegiance with the Devil was assumed. This test worked fairly well for the innocent, until some accusers found that a false knife, sleight of hand or even knowing places on the body where a needle could be inserted without pain or blood loss when 'pricking the flesh' could produce a more desired effect. The discovery of a witch! Burning at the Stake - Self explanatory really. The accused was tied to a stake and set fire to. If the witch survived the smoke and flames (highly unlikely), they were said to be in league with the Devil and able to endure the flames of Hell and thus taken from the flames and hanged. If they burnt to death however, they were innocent of the crime of being a witch. Burning was also the preferred way of disposing of a discovered witch, as it meant that holy ground was not tainted with a witch corpse. >>>>She's dead, Jim, guess she wasn't a witch!
