First mention of witches in the Bible:
EXODUS 22:18 KJV
Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.
There are a number of things the Bible treats as capital crimes that are necessarily even illegal in our society:
Murder (abortion), blasphemy (free speech), cursing or striking a parent, witchcraft, and kidnapping come to mind.
Of course the Bible also does not endorse taking the law into our own hands. And we are currently under the economy/dispensation of God’s superabounding grace by which even these sins can be forgiven.
But it is understandable and reasonable that early Christian settlers in America would form communities in which witchcraft was treated as a capital crime.
However, the term “witchhunt” comes from the willingness of some such Christian communities to accept unfounded accusations and punish people with little or no evidence of a crime.
It is quite ironic that a witch is leading the brigade of witchhunters in this particular case.
Yes. But remember, it is Satan who is seeking to destroy all Christians and Jews. 1/2 of our nation don't believe he is real, but he is. He never relents, but he is a looser and condemned already.
