I am absolutely sick of this thread being revived usually by American teenagers who do not know the history of witchcraft as the term is commonly understood today.

Christian witchcraft is most definitely a practice, Christian Wicca is not.

There is not necessarily an intrinsic link between Christianity and the belief system pushed in churches. It is my opinion, and if you look at the history, historical fact, that Christianity as practiced by the church is not actual Christianity, but in fact 'Churchianity'.

To say a true Christian would never practice witchcraft is preposterous and just a downright stupid thing to say. Every time a priest blesses a eucharist he is performing Christian witchcraft.

If we look at the actual history of not just witchcraft, but magic as a whole as it developed in the British Isles you will find countless cases of Christians performing magic. There are countless rituals, spells, folklore about magic involving Christianity. Witchcraft is a non dogmatic practice, Christianity, like every other religion, embraced witchcraft.

Even in the modern day there are devout Christians practicing witchcraft who offer their services: even some clergy men!

So before anyone else comes on to this thread to spout nonsense like Christians practicing magic will go to hell, Christian wicca is a thing. Christianity and witchcraft are incompatible: please pick up a book once in a while, it might work wonders.

To me, it's an Oxymoron. I was raised a JW, though.

The whole "Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live" bit is a poor translation of a poor translation. More accurately, as I've said a hundred times, the actual translation states more that a poisoner, deceiver, or one who poisons with deceit (old languages have many meanings within their words, so it can be interpreted as pretty much all of these), should not be suffered to live. You can believe whatever version, modern or old, you care to. That's your choice.

As to whether Christian Witchcraft is a thing or not, it obviously is because some people practice it. Your opinion on it, or mine, doesn't change this fact.

There, debate settled. Thread locked.
