Your view: Say no to witchcraft

Sunday, October 20, 2002

Deuteronomy 18:10-14

10 "Let no one be found among you who sacrifices his son or daughter in the fire, who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft,

11 "or casts spells, or who is a medium or spiritist or who consults the dead.

12 "Anyone who does these things is detestable to the Lord, and because of these detestable practices the Lord your God will drive out those nations before you.

13 "You must be blameless before the Lord your God.

14 "The nations you will dispossess listen to those who practice sorcery or divination. But as for you, the Lord your God has not permitted you to do so." The Bible (NIV)

"We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted at Hogwart's School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The term begins on Monday, Oct. 21st...." - Sikeston Public Library
