How is it lacking?

"An it harm none, do what ye will"
---the Wiccan Rede

"Love does no harm to a neighbor. Therefore, love is the fulfillment of the law."
(Romans 13:10)

How is the Wiccan Rede any less moral?

How do you know how far someone would or wouldn't go to help another?
Some not at all. Some unto death.
That's broad, sweeping and useless. How many human hearts can you see into?

Your challenge is that Wiccans, etc have the same moral code as the Bible God. I've shown they don't.
You've claimed that they don't, and not very convincingly.

Anyone can know between good and evil by reading God's commandments and law. People who don't want to know, then complain about people who do know.
People who don't want to know other people can read a few passages out of a book and assume that they know everything about everyone.

In any case, those doing good are justified, not anyone doing evil.
Then the Pagans in the organizations I listed are justified.

You mistake knowing who the destructive enemy is, vs being afraid of them.


1Pe 4:15
But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men's matters.

Is this one still in the mix......?

Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.
(Exodus 22:18)


Scripture says the gvt is for honoring them that do good, and executing them that do evil.
They're not scary, just reprobates interfering in the lives of better people better than themselves.
Witch rule is lacking, because it does not judge anyone as an evil-doer for not doing good.
Witch rule doesn't advocate executing anyone for not doing good.

Challenge already answered. Not interested in the rest of your stuff. Start a new thread.

Still mistaking knowing the enemy, vs being afraid of them.

Witches are only enemies of free people, so long as they activate with totalitarian ideologues.

Other than that, I've met Wiccans, and only a very few of them are more than just tattooed dabblers. Had a good talk with one recently about the old Eleusinian mysteries. Other than that, she had no problem against Jesus Christ, nor sought to argue against His words. She was not a Bible fault-finder.

The law of Moses is no longer commanded in the NT body of Christ.

Duh.

Unlike witches, Jesus Christ doesn't justify anyone for not doing evil to another, but not doing good either.

Anyone is an enemy of free people if they "activate with totalitarian ideologues".

"During almost fifteen centuries has the legal establishment of Christianity been on trial. What have been its fruits? More or less in all places, pride and indolence in the Clergy, ignorance and servility in the laity, in both, superstition, bigotry and persecution.

......

Rulers who wished to subvert the public liberty, may have found an established Clergy convenient auxiliaries.
"
---James Madison, "Memorial and Remonstrance Against Religious Assessments", 1785
