telling me what to do with a witch doesn't answer my question. how do you determine if someone is a witch? what traits do they possess that make them witches?

What is it with you and the ridiculous "what traits do they possess" questions?

A witch defined by what she does, not by what traits she has. A witch isn't a person with green skin and a wart on her nose. A witch is a person who practices witchcraft.

What traits do bank robbers have? Do they wear black lone ranger masks and carry around bags with dollar signs printed on them?

You are cracking me up.

Aliester Crowley said that "magick", or witchcraft, was nothing more than exerting your own will.

He was a depraved Satanic kook, but he was exactly right in this case.

1 Samuel 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.

If you attempt to exert your own will instead of doing God's will, you are a witch.

so psychic abilities, such as telekinesis used to bend a spoon, isn't witchcraft? when did god tell you not to bend the spoon with your mind? by the way, I am extremely impressed by your ability to find bible verses for any situation.

We are told that any such signs and wonders in this day and age are of the Devil. When the Anti Christ comes, he we beguile the people with all power and signs and lying wonders. (2 Thes 2:9)

by the way, I am extremely impressed by your ability to find bible verses for any situation.

The Bible certainly is an amazing book. It is the instruction manual for life. You should read it. We have a Bible in a Year forum here that can help you get started.

so is all of the modern technology of the devil too?
And I would guess you've read the bible, but what's impressive is that you have all those verses memorized.

Re: Christian Definitions...

The fact that your mind is capable of composing a question like this one betrays such a deep and thorough ignorance that it is difficult to know where to begin to answer your question.

Modern technology is not a "sign and wonder" according to the Bible. Sings and wonders are phenomena that are obviously supernatural.

Can you define supernatural please? People once thought that a moving picture was supernatural, but we now know this to be false, as we have TVs, and television is certainly not supernatural.

I have no intention of wasting time. it is your choice whether or not you want to spend your time replying to me. I'm here to have some seemingly contradictory things cleared up in my mind. I'm sorry if I'm annoying you, that is not my purpose. In order to understand, I must ask questions. you accused me of ignorance didn't you? I can get rid of ignorance by asking questions. If Christianity and the bible are as true as they claim, you should have no problem clearing up my confusion (at your own time, of course).
back to the topic at hand, this is dictionary.com's defintion of "supernatural"
of, pertaining to, or being above or beyond what is natural; unexplainable by natural law or phenomena; abnormal.
according to this definition, if we can explain something, it is not supernatural. what if some day we discovered how and why psychic phenomenon are possible scientifically? would they no longer be supernatural? If I had a TV in the 15th century, I would have been burned. but now, almost every house has a TV. what if 500 years from now, we've explained all things currently considered supernatural? I hope you can see what my problem is.
