There are 22 chapters about Witches in the christian bible. And in part 2 of the bitter truth, I am going to go through all of them. The reason I am going through the chapters on Witches is because the christians almost caused Witches to be wiped out. They needed a scapgoat to help spread their faith. And we Witches were the perfect ones to pick on. We were the only religion that did not see the point in fighting, and bloodshed. They knew we were peacful, and would not cause a big war. And they were right. We did not fight back when they called us evil. Turned our Gods, and Goddesses evil. We turned the other way, and let it be. But when makeing us look bad was not good enough, when they need to make an example for those who would not follow them, they turned to us, and hunted us. Killed us, and thus the burning times had started. But they knew that if they were to do this, and get away with it, it would have to come from "god", not them. Here are the words of "god" that made our lives pure hell from that moument on. Exo: 22-18, "Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live." LEV: 19-31,"Regard not them that have familiar spirits, neither seek after wizards, to be defiled by them: I am the LORD your God." LEV: 20-6," And the soul that turneth after such as have familiar spirits, and after wizards, to go a whoring after them, I will even set my face against that soul, and will cut him off from among his people." LEV: 20-27,"A man also or woman that hath a familiar spirit, or that is a wizard, shall surely be put to death: they shall stone them with stones: their blood shall be upon them" DEU: 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." DEU: 18-11,"Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer." 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." 1SAM: 28-3,"Now Samuel was dead, and all Israel had lamented him, and buried him in Ramah, even in his own city. And Saul had put away those that had familiar spirits, and the wizards, out of the land." 1SAM: 28-9, "And the woman said unto him, Behold, thou knowest what Saul hath done, how he hath cut off those that have familiar spirits, and the wizards, out of the land: wherefore then layest thou a snare for my life, to cause me to die?" 2Kings: 9-22,"And it came to pass, when Joram saw Jehu, that he said, Is it peace, Jehu? And he answered, What peace, so long as the whoredoms of thy mother Jezebel and her witchcrafts are so many?" 2Kings: 21-6,"And he made his son pass through the fire, and observed times, and used enchantments, and dealt with familiar spirits and wizards: he wrought much wickedness in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger." 1Kings: 23-24,"Moreover the workers with familiar spirits, and the wizards, and the images, and the idols, and all the abominations that were spied in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem, did Josiah put away, that he might perform the words of the law which were written in the book that Hilkiah the priest found in the house of the LORD." 2CHR: 33-6," And he caused his children to pass through the fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom: also he observed times, and used enchantments, and used witchcraft, and dealt with a familiar spirit, and with wizards: he wrought much evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger." ISA: 8-19,:And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? for the living to the dead?" ISA: 19-4,"And the spirit of Egypt shall fail in the midst thereof; and I will destroy the counsel thereof: and they shall seek to the idols, and to the charmers, and to them that have familiar spirits, and to the wizards" MIC: 5-12,"And I will cut off witchcrafts out of thine hand; and thou shalt have no more soothsayers:" NAH: 3-4,"Because of the multitude of the whoredoms of the wellfavoured harlot, the mistress of witchcrafts, that selleth nations through her whoredoms, and families through her witchcrafts." ATCS: 8-9," But there was a certain man, called Simon, which beforetime in the same city used sorcery, and bewitched the people of Samaria, giving out that himself was some great one" ACTS: 8-11,"And to him they had regard, because that of long time he had bewitched them with sorceries." ACTS: 13-8."But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn away the deputy from the faith." GAL: 3-1,"O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you?" GAL: 5-20,"Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies," GAL: 5-21," Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God"
