My mother had given us a Bible when my son was born. I don't usually use it because it is one of those huge 'Family Bibles". In it I found several pages of 'things to say to a person who says...', when you are trying to bring someone to the truth..
In other words, a handy pocket reference guide on how to proselytise, which is very offensive and presumptious and just a plain asinine thing to do, and which gives Abrahamic religions a bad rap. And just whose "truth" is it?
I am happy to have found it and have found it very useful when confronted with this subject.
The subject of "is being Wiccan a sin? Yes, please do come save me.


Particularly those who believe their deeds are enough. They don't understand that faith is the ticket. Not deeds. Not need. Also when they believe that if they have a good heart it doesn't matter what they worship. A fatal error.

According to whom? Where did you get this information on what the ticket is?
Are you a prophet? Did you die, go find out what the ticket is, and come back to life to enlighten us? Or did you just hear it that book full of violence rape murder, tales of hotmscary places and such, that has been used an excuse for hatred bigotry and killing of witches/iother religions that dont believe "your way"???
So I can go kill people, commit a bunch of sins, but long as i believe in the hot scary place and the dude that nailed himself to a cross 'its all good"? Yes?


So is being Wiccan a sin? And why so darling?

I'm basing this on what God's word has to say on the subject..using this as the authority.

That makes about as much sense as using the Muslim Koran to tell a Christian he is doing wrong.... or the Jewish Talmud to assess the doings of a Muslim.... or the Hindu Vedas to tell a Jewish person they have done wrong. It is not their holy book and it holds no weight with them.... it is not their god... it is yours. If that works for you, fine... but don't try and tell another person they are wrong because YOUR god tells them so.... it's not THEIR god - it is YOURS. And even your god teaches love, understanding, compassion and tolerance.


The old testament scriptures have stood the test of time. We know this because they predict events thousands of years before they occur. Therefore we know it to be true!!

If you did a bit of research into the history of Wicca/Paganism, and the Sabbats and holidays within the Pagan/Wiccan teachings, you would quickly realize that most of the Christian holidays were "borrowed" from Wicca/Paganism wholesale. If you do some historical research, you will find that the Romans were very well known for doing this... but that requires an open mind on your part too. It is not so clear cut as you may think.... Paganism has been around for a lot longer than neo-Paganism, and having just recently done a research paper on the history of the neo-Pagan movement, I quickly found out that neo-Paganism is not the only Pagan/Wiccan show around.

hi... OP, there is Truth and there is counterfeit... pray to God for Truth, every other source has to measure up to Thisor it is counterfeit... imho, I would pray and then open a king James bible, the language of God is understood by His people... blessings
