Religion stifles Moral Evolution

[SteveII]

Oh no! With your observation that the NT still considers "magic arts" a sin --in a list that includes sexually immoral, murder, idolatry and lying, I have been enlightened! Wow. I now officially conceded that the NT commands Christians to kill witches along with...well, every other person on the planet. Good find. 

I will say you are a master of making peanut-gallery comments that have no logical connections--but probably seem compelling to those who need the echo chamber to help them feel secure in their house of cards.

So you do think that witchcraft exists, and is immoral..and a sin?  What is the penalty for sin, and what does the NT say will happen to those witches?  Is there any specific part of the NT that countermands it;s consistent appraisal of witches and how they are to be dealt with?

Or are you looking for an excuse to sin and ignore magic book when it inconveniences your modern, secular, moral sensibilities and less than biblically credulous idea of whether or not old hags fly the night on greased broomsticks?

Does the NT distinguish between sins? The entire message of the NT is predicated on everyone sinning and bound for the same judgement. How is isolating one have any additional meaning? 

Galatians 6:1-6
1 Brothers and sisters, if someone is caught in a sin, you who live by the Spirit should restore that person gently. But watch yourselves, or you also may be tempted. 2 Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ. 3 If anyone thinks they are something when they are not, they deceive themselves. 4 Each one should test their own actions. Then they can take pride in themselves alone, without comparing themselves to someone else, 5 for each one should carry their own load. 6 Nevertheless, the one who receives instruction in the word should share all good things with their instructor.

Romans 2:1-3
1 You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on someone else, for at whatever point you judge another, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things. 2 Now we know that God’s judgment against those who do such things is based on truth. 3 So when you, a mere human being, pass judgment on them and yet do the same things, do you think you will escape God’s judgment?
