In English & on the surface that verse
has always struck me in a different way.
I can't help but see it as a warning to stay
away from the misleadings of many things
such as horoscopes, palm readers, card readers,
& whatever leads folks down a wrong path
which brings suffering to the spiritual life.
Yea, I know, but still................

Tellurian, do you know anything at all of
the doctrines of grace & what the law
accomplishes?
John 3:17
For God did not send His Son into the
world to condemn the world, but that
the world through Him might be saved.

So the man who couldn't even save himself is supposed to save everyone else?
Why do you think that the Jewish god REQUIRED that his alleged son be a human sacrifice to the Jewish god?
Why couldn't the Jewish god just "save" everyone without REQUIRING a human sacrifice?
BTW, what did you think of the videos and film about the African Christians killing and mutilating their children because they BELIEVED the kids were witches?

I haven't seen them. Still I know in my heart
that they knew better. Much like people
that sacrifice their own children at
Planned Parenthood, eh?
Different lower case gods.

Thousands of Christian parents mutilated and killed their children, or had their church leaders do it for them "in the name of Jesus Christ". Why would they do that if, as you say, "they knew better"?

"Exodus 22:18 Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live."
It is a shame in today's liberal ways we can not aggressively enforce this.
It is an abomination before God that this rule is ignored.

A valid question is how accurate is that translation? I've read elsewhere that "poisoner" might be a better translation than "witch".

Is it?

I would think it a greatr abomination if it were misunderstood and enforced.

Watch at 1:00. These nut cases are NOT Christian. The man who's saving the kids is the Christian.

Watch the arrest video. The bishop is self appointed, a scam artist, and he claims that he has never killed anyone. He isn't a Christian bishop.

Again, just because someone says they are a Christian, doesn't mean they are. When the Bible talks about knowing people by their fruits, this is exactly what it means. When the fruits of their beliefs are child torture and murder, you can be absolutely sure that those beliefs are NOT Christian.
> Isn't the POWER OF BELIEF amazing?
Very powerful. Don't you wish everyone believed in this?
Romans 13
8Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for he who loves his fellowman has fulfilled the law. 9The commandments, "Do not commit adultery," "Do not murder," "Do not steal," "Do not covet," and whatever other commandment there may be, are summed up in this one rule: "Love your neighbor as yourself." 10Love does no harm to its neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.

If they were Christians, they wouldn't be doing that. The "Christianity" of the region is so mixed up with witchcraft and tribal superstitions that it's something else entirely. These people haven't given up their old beliefs, but added a few elements of Christianity, such as the name, to their old religion.

Of course, the command was for Jews, inside their own race and religion, and nation. It was never intended to be imported to anyone outside the holy nation. It was there to warn the people away from sin. Things changed when Christ died. A way was opened for outsiders to find salvation. The law demonstrated how we can't fulfill the law to save ourselves, but must rely on God's mercy.

Thousands of humanity loving parents mutilated and killed their children, or had their abortionists do it for them "in the name of equality". Why would they do that if, as you say, "they knew better"?

Only the witches (mediums) of Israel were allowed to live?
The "Witch" (medium) of Endor successfully channeled Samuel for Saul.
Some readers of scriptures wonder how the woman of Endor , who was supposed to be a witch or false medium, could bring the prophet of God to have an audience with Saul. No evil person could contact the holy prophet Samuel. The prophecy of Samuel through the medium was accurate.
The phenomona of communing with people far away or with those who have died is practiced in countries all over the world.
