But reading about something is not necessarily seeking it.

Double speak...
If you know something is an abomination to God, and you know that He said that it is worthy of hells fire..and you take money you have earned,drive to a store,walk into the store..and put down that money ....the walk back to your car..drive home....open the book and read it to your children it was no accident,it is rebellion against God
You made a conscience decision.
God has placed your children in your care..scripture is clear that you are to be their primary teacher..and what do you decide to teach them?
You can seek to justify it ..but it isn't me that has condemned witchcraft it is God..
Dad this is your responsibility
