#PrayForConversion

[riza-the-fool-for-christ]

You may think that Orthodoxy and witchcraft can be mixed like a child's art project, but God is not a toy. He is not a whimsical figure in a fantasy world that you can "blend" with whatever you find aesthetically pleasing. He is the Living God, the Creator of Heaven and Earth, the One who has authority over all things, seen and unseen.

You may laugh and say, "Ok lol idc," but that laughter is not strength—it is the laughter of someone who does not know the weight of their own soul. You are playing with something far more dangerous than you realize.

Orthodoxy is not an accessory. It is not a culture, a philosophy, or a mystical aesthetic to be worn like a costume. It is the One, True, Holy, Apostolic, and Undivided Church of Jesus Christ. If you call yourself Orthodox, then you must understand that Christ’s Church does not bend to your whims. Orthodoxy calls for obedience—not to men, but to God Himself.

Witchcraft and Christianity Cannot Coexist

The Scriptures leave no room for compromise:

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

"Do not turn to mediums or seek out spiritists, for you will be defiled by them. I am the Lord your God." (Leviticus 19:31)

"For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry." (1 Samuel 15:23)

"And the soul that turneth after such as have familiar spirits, and after wizards, to go a-whoring after them, I will even set My face against that soul, and will cut him off from among his people." (Leviticus 20:6)

Saints throughout history have warned against witchcraft, paganism, and playing with demonic forces:

St. Cyprian of Antioch, once a powerful sorcerer, repented and became a Christian after realizing that all magic is deception from demons. He was later martyred for the faith. He warns: "All pagan sacrifices, all sorcery, and all idol-worship is inspired by demons, who seek to destroy the soul of man."

St. John Chrysostom speaks against blending Christianity and magic: "Let us no longer corrupt the truth with our own inventions, nor mix falsehood with divine things. To attempt to join light with darkness is the work of the devil himself."

St. Basil the Great writes: "Those who practice witchcraft have already denied Christ, for they place their trust in the powers of darkness rather than in the One True God."

The saints did not take witchcraft lightly. Neither should you.

What You Are Playing With is Not "Whimsy"

You say you believe in "joyful whimsy beyond comprehension," but there is nothing joyful about opening the door to demonic deception.

The devil does not come to you with horns and fire. He comes wrapped in beauty, mystery, and "empowerment." He whispers that you can have power apart from God, that you can take a little from here, a little from there, and create your own spirituality. But Christ said:

"No man can serve two masters." (Matthew 6:24)

You cannot mix Christ and demons. You cannot mix the Holy Spirit and the spirit of error.

"What fellowship has light with darkness? What agreement has Christ with Belial?" (2 Corinthians 6:14-15)

You think that by adding "a little Orthodoxy" to your life, you are touching something divine. But Orthodoxy is not a spice to sprinkle onto your own beliefs. It is the absolute truth, the only path to salvation.

You Still Have Time to Repent

You may mock these words now. You may think, "Ok lol idc," and go on with your life. But the saints speak, and the truth will not change.

The saints who pray for us do not want to see your soul lost. They do not want you to fall into deception. They call to you now, even in your mockery, to turn back before it is too late.

St. Ignatius of Antioch writes: "Do not be deceived, my brethren. Those who practice magic shall not inherit the Kingdom of God. The choice is before you: life or death, light or darkness. Choose wisely."

St. Justin Martyr reminds us: "The demons have deceived many with false gods, false worship, and false wisdom. But those who come to Christ must abandon all these things and follow Him alone."

And Christ Himself has said: "Repent, for the Kingdom of God is at hand." (Matthew 4:17)

I will pray for you. I will pray that one day, when the weight of eternity presses upon your soul, you will remember these words and turn back to Christ alone.

You may laugh now. But the soul does not laugh when it stands before the judgment seat of God.

Repent, and live.

"how can you both be Orthodox Christian and practice witchcraft" I believe in joyful whimsy beyond your own comprehension now leave me alone while I mix those two up in the biggest silliest ways like a kindergarten art project

It’s unlikely any of us are called to a sudden dramatic conversion like St Paul – but all of us are called to constant conversion day-by-day to surrender our lives more and more to Christ.

St Paul, Pray for us!
