Witchcraft is not a beneficial religion

Witchcraft is not a beneficial religion. If we look at Deuteronomy 18:9-14, we see that God didn"t want the Israelites practicing what the previous nations of Palestine did. The passage in Deuteronomy reads, "When you come into the land which the Lord your God is giving you, you shall not learn to follow the abominations of those nations. There shall not be found among you anyone who makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire, or one who practices witchcraft, or a soothsayer or one who interprets omens, or a sorcerer, or one who conjures spells, or a medium, or a spiritist or one who calls up the dead. For all who do these things are an abomination to the Lord, and because of these abominations the Lord your God drives them out from before you. You shall be blameless before the Lord your God. For these nations which you will dispossess listened to soothsayers and diviners; but as for you, the Lord your God has not appointed such for you." Not only did God root out the previous inhabitants of Palestine before the Israelites, He made very clear instructions that Israel was not to practice such things. If we skip ahead into the future with Israel"s 1st human king, Saul (having rejected the Lord as their king"1 Samuel 8:7), we see the result of such practices. Saul had originally banished all people that had practiced witchcraft in the land, but in his most desperate hour, he turns to a witch to bring up the now deceased, previous prophet Samuel for instructions as to what he should do. Samuel tells him that Saul will die according to a previous prophecy that Samuel had made. The story is found in 1 Samuel 28 and the results of that action in 1 Samuel 31. In 1 Chronicles 10:13-4, we find the purpose that Saul had died""So Saul died for his unfaithfulness which he had committed against the Lord, because he did not keep the word of the Lord, and also because he consulted a medium for guidance. But he did not inquire of the Lord; therefore He killed him, and turned the kingdom over to David the son of Jesse." Based on the Lord"s first warning and the end result with Saul, I conclude that witchcraft is not a beneficial religion, especially since 1 Corinthians 10:11 says, "Now all these things happened to them as examples, and they were written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the ages have come." (This particular passage is speaking about the nation Israel during its time wandering in the wilderness for their sins against God, yet it applies to Bible as a whole. Another passage in 2 Timothy 3:14-7 states, "But you must continue in the things which you have learned and been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them, and that from childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.") God cannot lie (Titus 1:2), therefore I conclude that if God cannot lie, then the Scriptures (written through inspiration of God) cannot lie also. Therefore I conclude that what the Bible says about witchcraft and the consequences of consulting it cannot be false.
