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?

It's okay, Steve, to tell us that you don't believe in witches, or the sinful immorality of a thing that is not a thing....that maybe somebody fudged a few lines in magic book with that one. It's not as if god would turn you into a pillar of salt for it.
Or would he?
