Sorry, that should say: all forms of witchcraft are wicked.
(Deuteronomy 18:10-12) . . .There should not be found in you anyone who makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire, anyone who employs divination, anyone practicing magic, anyone who looks for omens, a sorcerer, 11 anyone binding others with a spell, anyone who consults a spirit medium or a fortune-teller, or anyone who inquires of the dead. 12 For whoever does these things is detestable to Jehovah. . .
While it is true that witches do have communion with the spirit realm, and I know, my grandfather was a sorcerer, and did contact demons, as well as other people I know personally. The demons know this is true.
That does not mean that some of them are good or some of them are bad. All spirits which witchcraft is involved in is evil in God's eyes. Something detestable to Jehovah.
This is a challenge to any witch. Ask your spirits who Jehovah is and whether he permits witchcraft.
I minored in religious studies in college and I am Wiccan. Meaning, technically, I am a witch. Take your quotes and put them where the sun don't shine.
And thus God's word will remain where it is, in respect to you.
I will tell you a story though, because I feel that you have a lot of good in you.
When I was at school during lunch, I was quite popular. And people would come and sit with me. And I sometimes got tired of them, so I would draw out the Bible I had with me (for I always read it, and had it with me), and I would quote from it to them, truths they did not understand.
I did this to scare them away. And many of them when they saw God's word ran with fear.
But there were always a few, I mean fowl-mouthed, evil, people, that were the worst you could think of that would stay, after hearing Jehovah's word, and would ask more. And they would surprise me. And as Jehovah revealed himself to them, more and more through his scripture, the more and more we would become friends.
It is quite the thing. To see God's spirit at work in someone. And it is always done through his word.
And I know it can even be done through the people who hate on you the most.

No. It just means one reads God's word and believes it.
Here, let me give you an example.
Jesus, the son of God, the one whom we all owe our life to, came to earth, humbly.
In the wilderness he was tempted by the spirit being, Satan the Devil.
What did Jesus do? He did not rely upon his superhuman knowledge, nor did he fall to Satan's snares.
Rather he quoted Scripture. That is: God's word:
(Matthew 4:3-11) . . .And the Tempter approached and said to him: “If you are a son of God, tell these stones to become loaves of bread.” 4 But he answered: “It is written: ‘Man must live, not on bread alone, but on every word that comes from Jehovah’s mouth.’” 5 Then the Devil took him along into the holy city, and he stationed him on the battlement of the temple 6 and said to him: “If you are a son of God, throw yourself down, for it is written: ‘He will give his angels a command concerning you,’ and, ‘They will carry you on their hands, so that you may not strike your foot against a stone.’” 7 Jesus said to him: “Again it is written: ‘You must not put Jehovah your God to the test.’” 8 Again the Devil took him along to an unusually high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. 9 And he said to him: “All these things I will give you if you fall down and do an act of worship to me.” 10 Then Jesus said to him: “Go away, Satan! For it is written: ‘It is Jehovah your God you must worship, and it is to him alone you must render sacred service.’” 11 Then the Devil left him, and look! angels came and began to minister to him.
If the son of God, Jesus Christ, could resist Satan by quoting Scripture, which is truth, and better than his own knowledge, how much more can we do? For God's word is better than everything!

I'm not trying to convince you out of your faith, in trying to make you understand calling others evil, puts you in a non reciprocal position and is counter intuitive. Honestly there's no point because as relda said you are showing nothing but hubris : /

The worst sin is saying you know the mind of God. Period. End of story.

Golly, I wish you could stop posting scripture like a Jesus robot, and actually talk from your mind. Not some 2000 year old book, what are trying to do? Bless this thread from the demon seeker every other post? It's hard to have a fruitful conversation with someone who posts like a scripture bot created on the internet. Please at least speak from your words

No, I would never judge anyone.
But if God's word calls something wicked or evil, then it is true.

‘You must not put Jehovah your God to the test.’”
That means you cannot question him. You cannot say you know what he would in any particular circumstance. You can;t quote the bible for that either as God may change his mind at any given second. It is hubris that causes you to guess.
You may live your life by the bible. But you can never, ever, say that God commands a certain thing.

You are judging people stop differing responsibility to your 'god' that's non sense and a cop out for the weak minded judgmental useful idiot. Think my friend think, don't differ responsibility you called her belief evil for no reason what so ever other than something YOU believe in. You are wrong you have blundered deal with it, don't blame your 'god'..

No, that is not so. For even God says to put him to the test:
(Malachi 3:10) . . .Bring the entire tithe into the storehouse, so that there may be food in my house; and test me out, please, in this regard,” Jehovah of armies says, “to see whether I will not open to you the floodgates of the heavens and pour out on you a blessing until there is nothing lacking.”
Anyone that relies on God's word can be comforted in that it is true.
