-—The practice of witchcraft has grown...-—
What constitutes practicing witchcraft?
Calling up demons? Doing magic? Where’s the proof?
Just because someone ‘identifies’ themselves to be a witch doesn’t make it true. Heck, plenty of RINOs identify themselves as conservatives too.
Just as in any other religion, practicing the the tenets of the faith in question and believing in them.
1Sam 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.
