You know a few people who claim to be witches. Did any of them actually ever cast a real spell; Like turning a prince into a frog?

Frogs into princes are not real spells.
If you want to talk to some real witches, and ask them if they are real or not, go here.

Are you being deliberately obtuse?
I have no cause to believe someone on some internet board somewhere is a witch because they say so. They could tell me they just turned their brother into a frog. Then what have we proved?
My question to you is this. You are a Christian. You believe that witches exist. You believe you know some. Why? What proof have you seen that they possess or can wield actual magic?

I have asked you why you believed in witches, because I was mildly curious. You have given me the run-around by repeatedly pointing me to some obscure message board instead.

Jael, although we seem to be on the same side in the Harry Potter thread discussion, I'm a little concerned that you are pointing people to what you would seem to call a witches website. Aren't you essentially doing the same thing that you and I have been arguing that the Harry Potter media does (i.e, gets people interested in witchcraft)? Just wanted to point that out to you.

Why would you try to persuade someone to expose themselves to this kind of evil (which you assert is not a fiction but real) with one post when you posted earlier about the evils of going to view a fiction movie?
You're asking someone to participate, as it were, in real evil. What if someone goes over there and falls under a spell? How do we know you haven't fallen under a spell over there?

I regret that I wasn't clearer about the witches. It isn't just some web site where a few people who could say anything hang out. I just thought that would be a good place to find a few.
Several of these people are publically involved in Witchcraft, and I know people who have met them, and I personally know a few myself.

Now what did all that prove? It proved EXACTLY what I said (twice). She posted on an Alabama newspaper religion forum that became overrun by professing witches. She did not come from a "Witch Forum". She is not defending witches or withcraft - she is OPPOSING them.
She believes witches exist - the Bible says they do, perhaps you are a Bible infidel?
She invited those of you who doubted them to chat with them for yourselves - an offer which you all predictably fled from. Why flee something you don't believe exists? LOOK OUT! The Easter Bunny is chasing you! Run for your life!
You think witches don't exist? Come to the state prison in Waupun, Wisconsin. A professing witch is a chaplain there (their other chaplain is a Muslim).
You posted a lot of stuff to try and look impressive, but NONE of it indicated any wrongdoing by Jael.
I noticed you selectively posted things from the Harry Potter thread and left off every single post that showed Jael is a Christian who is anti witchcraft. Just one huge *coincidence*, right? ;-)
To correct your accidental (ahem!) oversight, I found some of the ones you missed. Now everybody will be able to see that you are engaged in a smear attempt and that YOU twisted, excluded, and took Jael's comments out of "context, context, context".

Jen, when people got saved who had formerly been involved in the occult, they did the following:
Acts 19:13 ¶Then certain of the vagabond Jews, exorcists, took upon them to call over them which had evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preacheth. 14 And there were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew, and chief of the priests, which did so. 15 And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye? 16 And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, and overcame them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded. 17 And this was known to all the Jews and Greeks also dwelling at Ephesus; and fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified. 18 And many that believed came, and confessed, and shewed their deeds. 19 Many of them also which used curious arts brought their books together, and burned them before all men: and they counted the price of them, and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver. 20 So mightily grew the word of God and prevailed.
God certainly knows the difference.
2 Corinthians 11:14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.

"My daughter and I have a date to see it next Tuesday. Can hardly wait. Have you ever read the Harry Potter books??
May I ask if you have read the Bible concerning witchcraft and evil? And violence? I know people that took their young children to see a movie (Harry Potter) that actually majored in violence and evil.
The movies also taught that people NOT involved in witchcraft were stupid. I can't understand a Christian parent exposing their innocent children to the anger and mayhem in Harry Potter.
Psalms 101:3 I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me.
Psalms 140:11 Let not an evil speaker be established in the earth: evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow him.
Psalms 141:4 Incline not my heart to any evil thing, to practise wicked works with men that work iniquity: and let me not eat of their dainties.
Deuteronomy 18:10 There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch, 11 Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer. 12 For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee.
I keep hearing people say "It's just fiction" as if that makes it ok to teach your children that the occult is a good thing. The hero is a witch. I know REAL witches. Let me tell you, there are no *good* witches. Not according to God.
Also, I personally reserached how children are effected by Harry Potter. One of the most interesting things I turned up was the Scholastic message board. Children were posting there, sharing with each other how Harry Potter had gotten them interested in spells and other aspects of the occult.
Please don't think that what children see doesn't effect them, and deeply. Visuals effect adults, we all know that. Even more so for children.
Philippians 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
