Do not be fooled, and do not let the scripture-twisting serpentine tongues of those who push the lie that Christianity and witchcraft can be syncretized together fool you. Witchcraft is a sin, as we will show, and along with all sin, will send you straight to hell, and true faith in Christ for your salvation is the only solution. It is not Biblical to add witchcraft to Christianity or to add Christ to witchcraft and call yourself a Christian. It doesn’t work that way.
