We use to do this in our house, for these reasons.

Indeed as per the example of Simon the Sorcerer in Acts 8 because God is partially responsiable redemption through attonement is offered, if said sorcerer repents.
Quote:To me this seems akin to leaving a burner on with a small child in the kitchen and telling said child not to play near the stove.Great example, but what is the alternitive to a child possiably getting burned? Kill the child? not have children? stop cooking? or tell them not to play around the stove? maybe allow them to even get burned to save them from serious burns later on?
Or shut the burner off.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
