Blessings from our lord above to those who attempt to help me! My problem is my son-18 yr.old just told me that he is a witch and also his girlfriend of one month. He was raised in an christian enviroment and accepted Christ at approx. age 14. He says that these witches(wicca) only do good spells on themselves. I believe there is only one God and that any magic/power recieved from other sources is evil. I don't know what to do! I know that it promises if you teach a child the right path to take that he will come back to it and I know to pray. He says that he did this two weeks ago., and I asked him if he still believes in God,Christ and his salvation and he said yes, but I'm not so sure that he isn't just telling me what I want to hear. Please help me and let me know if there is anything I can do further. Thank you to those who answer my question and may the Lord bless you!

I'M TAKING A BIG CHANCE HERE BECAUSE OF COPYWRITE LAWS, BUT I THINK THE ENDS JUSTIFIES THE MEANS.....
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW: CULTS THRIVE ON IGNORANCE AND UNCERTAINITY. CHRISTIANS WHO DO NOT KNOW WHAT OR WHY THEY BELIEVE ARE ESPECIALLY VULNERABLE. CULTS EITHER DENY OR REGULATE CHRIST TO A PLACE THAT IS FAR LESS THAN HE MERITS.
ASK YOUR SON, IS ANYONE TEACHING YOU A GOSPEL OTHER THAN THE ONE YOU'VE ACCEPTED? {GAL.1:9}
ANY TEACHING THAT ENCOURAGES YOU TO SEEK A RIGHT RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD, APART FROM THE PERSON AND WORK OF JESUS CHRIST IS IN ERROR.
SHARE THESE SCRIPTURES WITH YOUR SON, 1 JHN.2:22, 1 COR. 3:11, COL. 1:15-17, JHN.1:14, AND ACTS 4:12.................
**********************************************
REMEMBER, JESUS PROMISED YOU THAT THEY CAN'T BE SNATCHED OUT OF HIS HAND; I BELIEVE THAT TO MEAN PERMANENTLY. EVEN THE APOSTLE PAUL, IN HIS OWN JUDGEMENTS DECIDED TO GO TO ROME WHEN HE WAS SUPPOSED TO GO TO JERUSALEM, AND WHAT DID HE GET FOR HIS TROUBLE? "PRISON" IF HE'D GONE TO JERUSALEM LIKE HE WAS SUPPOSED TO, HE WOULD HAVE AVOIDED ALL THAT MISERY.
YOU JUST HOLD ON TO YOUR FAITH MY SISTER IN CHRIST
