Do you think God cares if someone has an interest in witchcraft, but has no intention of practicing it?

i'm gonna say no, because there's really nothing wrong with researching things. but he also knows the danger, and that's why we're warned to stay away from it. It's easy to research, and then bit by bit start experimenting until you find things that actually work and then you've slipped into the darkness. sorry to be so dramatic. lol

GOD acts on intentions. If your interest is pure, such as the desire to understand it so that you can have discussions with those who practice it and explain why you think it's unhealthy then GOD would approve. If you are secretly wanting to practice it HE would not.

GOD knows/judges your heart for why you do what you do.

God is more powerful than witchcraft. The reason people choose witchcraft is that God makes you earn his blessings while witchcraft does not make you struggle and work for it. But witchcraft is more dangerous than alcohol, it destroys your mind, your relationships, and your career.

God knows your heart and your intentions at the end of the day so if you are just curious it's okay to search things up and to be able to tell what is good and what is bad. It's bad if you practice it of course, since you'd be opening up to evil spirts. Again God knows your heart.

Very wise words. You know one of my greatest fears is that God knows every thought I’ve thought, am thinking, and will think. It’s best not to think about it. Thank you very much for your answer. Peace be with you.

A general interest? No. However, you should be knowledgeable with, devout in, and well-grounded in your faith so that you don't become compromised.

Yes. That's like saying "does a community care if they have a known thief in their midst? He's known, so claims to have no intention of practicing his art?

If god exists he doesn't even care for murder and other stuff. So practice "witchcraft" if you have fun with it. Doesn't work anyway.

[Grond21]

God cares about everything. So yes, he cares. But I get the feeling you are asking more than that

[Asker]

You’re right, I was really wondering if He cares whether

[Asker]

…I learn about it or not. I don’t want to practice it.

[Grond21]

I'm sure exorcists know about it. So objectively speaking, learning about it is not bad.

[Grond21]

What's driving your curiosity?

[normalice]

God is a figment of your imagination so it is entirely up to you to decide what he cares about.

[exitseven]

God is okay with it as long as you do not change anybody into a newt.

[jahaims]

It's an imaginary being so you can give it whatever qualities you want

[strateguy632]

cares yes. punish no.

Depends on which church you ask
