A Hellbound Wiccan
by David J. Stewart
I received the following e-mail in August of 2005 from one of my web visitors...
I find your website VERY offending! I cannot comprehend why someone would put such lies on the internet about wicca! Listen, I have the utmost respect for every religion I have friends that are Christian, Muslim, Wiccan, and atheist. People need to learn to love each other and just accept one another. If someone is ,as you say, leading a life to "hell" then let them! You're not going as you say. However, "hell" is not apart of the Wiccan belief. You say your website is not a hate site. I do not know one Wiccan, Islamic, or whatever religion person that would come to this site and not feel discriminated or hated. You say you love people, then let them do what makes them happy. Don't judge something you don't understand. Don't email me back, or anything. I don't need to be "saved" as you might think. I am a perfectly happy Wiccan follower and that's never changing!
Sara ______
I have received quite a few letters from Wiccans similar to the above letter. Therefore, I thought it beneficial to address this letter in a web article. I would like to now comment concerning the above letter...
First of all, Sara accuses me of putting lies on the internet, but she conveniently fails to mention which lies. If someone thinks I am lying, then they should present their argument, don't just call me a liar.
Secondly, if Sara does indeed have some "Christian" friends, then they are carnal and far from the Lord. The Bible clearly commands us NOT to yoke together with unbelievers (2nd Corinthians 6:14, "Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?"). More than likely, Sara's "friends" are NOT Christians at all. Most people who claim to be Christian are not going to heaven. Every Catholic claims to be "Christian," but they are going straight to hell according to the Bible because they are trusting in their works (Galatians 2:16, "Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified."). Catholics believe that they can be saved by joining the church, performing the seven sacraments, and living a good life. This is simply NOT true according to God's Word. So more than likely Sara's friends are Catholic or some other false religion, and not Christian.
Thirdly, Sara said, "People need to learn to love each other and just accept one another. If someone is ,as you say, leading a life to 'hell' then let them!" Is this what the Bible teaches? Should we just let people go to hell? Romans 10:13-15 teaches, "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!." Contrary to Sara's wishes, God wants us to preach the Gospel to the world. Mark 16:15 reads..."And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature." This is out great commission as believers, to preach the Gospel
Furthermore, the Apostle Paul was not a pacifist Christian. On the contrary, he spoke the TRUTH..."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?" (Galatians 3:1). The truth which Paul spoke was not well taken..."Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?" (Galatians 4:16). And I say to you Sara (and to all you Wiccans)...Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth? You see, Sara (and others like her) want Christians like me to shut up, to hide our Bibles, to be quite for God, to go away forever...but it won't happen! I will never accept the damnable heresy of Wicca.
If Wiccans feel offended because Christ-honoring Christians choose to expose the false religion of Wicca, then so be it. We don't expose false religion to disrespect or be unkind to anyone; we expose false religion because it sends lost sinners to burn in hell-fire for all eternity. I have to do what the Word of God teaches to be right, NOT what Sara thinks is right. The belief that anybody can believe anything they want, just so long as they don't criticize anyone else's beliefs is absurd. Freedom is all about free speech. I will criticize the sinful foolishness of Wicca, in hopes that others will awake to righteousness and turn to Jesus Christ in faith for the forgiveness of sins and salvation.
I don't want anyone to go to hell; therefore, I must warn people of the wrath of God to come against Christ-rejecting sinners (Psalm 7:11). Listen to the words of John the Baptist in Luke 3:7..."Then said he to the multitude that came forth to be baptized of him, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?" Sounds like a real loving Guy, huh? Sara would not have liked John at all. In fact, Sara would have disliked Jesus very much as well...Matthew 23:33, "Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?" Respect? Let me ask you a question: Is it disrespectful to warn a man that his house is about to be destroyed? No, of course not. Then how much more is it not disrespectful to warn a man about the eternal dangers facing his soul? Hell is real my friend, don't risk your soul on the empty words of Wicca or any other false prophet/religion. The Word of God has stood the test of time and has never been disproved, although multitudes of wicked men and women have tried.
Fourthly, Sara says that "hell" is not part of the Wicca belief. Not surprisingly, neither is the forgiveness of sins. Wicca doesn't address the issue of sins. How does a Wiccan get forgiven? They don't. Wicca teaches that nothing is sinful, just so long as no one gets hurt. Ok, but what about when someone does get hurt? How do Wiccans get their sins forgiven? The FACT that Wicca does not address this critical element of the human nature is a clear indicator that Wicca is a scam, a falsehood, a bridge to hell. Wiccans don't recognize themselves as "sinners."
Fifthly, my website truly is NOT a hate site. Love is what causes a person to rise above any fears of rejection, reprisal, persecution, or unpopularity to speak what needs to be spoken. Do you really think I enjoy receiving hate mail? Not at all, but the truth needs to be spoken. I am not interested in impressing people, making friends, selling anything, or being liked...I simply want to please God by getting the TRUTH out.
Sixth, Sara said, "You say you love people, then let them do what makes them happy." What? You're kidding right? Do you really think love is letting people go down a wrong path in life? According to Sara, I should let people go to hell...so they can be happy. Obviously, Sara is very confused about God and truth, just as are most people in today's world. I don't want people to be happy is they're on a train speeding towards a canyon with the bridge out. I must warn them. The problem is that Sara and other Wiccans don't believe the Word of God, so they don't see the danger. Just because Wiccans don't believe in hell doesn't mean that Christians should stop warning them of the torments of hell. Christ-rejecters go to hell..."He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him" (John 3:36).
Seventh, Sara said ,"Don't judge something you don't understand." But I DO understand! I understand that Wicca boasts of hundreds of pagan deities to worship from. I understand that Wicca denies the existence of Satan, and rather glorifies Lucifer...the god of illumination. 'Com on, everyone knows that Lucifer became the devil. You Wiccans really need to go back to Sunday School. Do you really expect us to believe that Lucifer is a good guy? I think not!
Eighth, Sara said, "I don't need to be "saved" as you might think. I am a perfectly happy Wiccan follower and that's never changing!" It's not just what I believe, it's what they Word of God teaches..."In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power" -2nd Thessalonians 1:8-9. I didn't Author that Scripture, God Almighty did. I you don't get "saved" you will go to hell. I say this with all sadness and seriousness. Please don't go to hell friend.
"And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house." -Acts 16:31
"For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God." -1st Corinthians 1:18
"For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth." -1st Timothy 2:3-4
"The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance." -2nd Peter 3:9
