There were no witches tried and executed in Salem. They were the victims of superstititous Puritans and others groups. Many of the so-called witches who were in jail were there because of a land grab by the locals. We will talk about this in depth next week.

The sins of the Puritans are found in today’s church. For example, people like Ken Ham accuses anyone who does not believe in the extraordinarily poor science of the YE crowd of being in danger of “denying the doctrine of the atonement” which is code language for potential heresy.

As for the land grab, look at pastors today who live excessive lifestyles and cheat their congregations out of their time in order to write books, travel to conferences, and hang with their cohorts who plug each other on the circuit.

I agree with you. We are all guilty of sin but it isn’t the sin of witchcraft. For many in the Calvinista crowd, it is the sin of superstition and greed, just like the Puritans. Thanks for weighing in.

I said that in all humbleness of heart and believe all “us” were in that propensity to do so…merely theological perspective not an inference at all. That is why I said “us”

Here’s the problem Casey. Dee and I have totally surrendered our lives to Jesus Christ who is our Savior and Lord. We are TOTALLY sold out to Him, and that’s the reason we are so passionate about TWW and proclaiming God’s truth in this forum.

Neither of us is living in rebellion, so we are not guilty of the “sin of witchcraft”. The Holy Spirit lives inside of Dee and me, and He guides and directs us.

Info’s ad hominem definitely deserved its own blog post.

If rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft then perhaps all of us were witches(or warlocks) at one time.

Oh yeah,”wenches”, a vague memory from the distant past. What’s with all the name-calling, and what does this indicate about our critics?

“Despite your harsh comments info, thanks for refraining from calling us ‘witches’ here at TWW. ‘Ladies’ is a very much appreciated!”

I thought the term was “wenches.” As in “o glorious wenches.”

Lydia,

I haven’t read it, but I did go to Amazon and read some of the reviews.

Lydia,

Loved your friend’s comment about the Puritans: “There is a reason they died out”.

This will ALWAYS be the case.
