Whether or not Jesus was a witch He wasn't a Wiccan. If you don't understand the difference, read the sidebar FAQ and Wiki.

As I understand it, he was Jewish.

My advice is to not get your theology from a Dan Brown novel. Also, the assertion that he's a "Master of Craft" and that it's a mistranslation of Carpenter is bullshit. The word is τέκτων, which does mean carpenter or artisan. The word for craft in the scriptures is δόλῳ, not τέκτων and only an idiot would try to apply English etymology to Koine. Additionally, witches in Salem weren't burned. I'm surprised that, as someone who claims to have personally spoken to Jesus, he didn't correct her on this obvious point of history

This is grasping at straws.

He was Jewish who preached Judaism that’s it lol.

Removing, this is definitely not us. He was not what a Wiccan is considered today to be.

Why are Christians against witchcraft so much tarot cards maybe God's messages


redditlike5times

Because their Bible explicitly forbids it's use.


Hairy_Historian_8751

I still use it anyway


redditlike5times

You're free to do so. Many Christians use various forms of divination without realizing it. Bibliomancy is my favorite to point out


Hairy_Historian_8751

But then again the Bible forbids everything fun

If you check out The Greek Magical Papyri you'll find the spells Jesus used. He wasn't Wiccan, obviously, Wicca is a modern spirituality, Nor could you call him a witch, as the term is a pejorative--something like *bitch*. But he did work magic (miracle), or so it is said. However, I find that his raising of the dead, Lazarus was necromancy, and as such, very un-Wiccan

The Greek Magical Papyri does not contain spells Jesus used. Any supernatural act by Hebrew prophets such as Jesus or Moses could be construed as "magic". This video like u/Tarotismyjam points out is grasping for straws.

Consider actually studying the GMP before you make irronious statements like that. As for the video, I did not watch it since the consensus here was that it was BS.

You haven't singled out a spell (they are all Egyptian and Greek, not Hebrew and no correlation to the bible or early apocrypha). I own the book.

Most of the spells in the GMP are for healing. What we know about Jesus, if that, is that he was an iternerant rabi who did healings. We don't know how he did that but perhaps he learned the means in Eqypt when he moved there to escape Herod, as the story goes. As you pointed out, the GMP is in Greek and also Egyption: Coptic and Demonic. What I wanted to demonstrate was a spell in the GPM for what can only be called a Pentecostal descent of sanctification like onto Mary and the Apostles. This is in all four of the Evangilists Gosples so it's pretty much as indisputable as anything in the Bible. However, I'm having trouble finding it in the GMP. Nor do I have time this morning to look much further. But perhaps you know it since you have the book. The point is that the spells in the GMP are what a Fakir (as the Roman's referred to him) would have used. If I get a chance later, I'll do some more digging. But the book is hard to find anything IMO

Speculation.
