Why don't they admit that they are practising witchcraft instead of abusing the word?

Quote:They are not the first. There are narratives of people looking for miracles and signs as evidence of truth or a verification of faith.
The scribes and Pharisees once approached Jesus and said, “Teacher, we want to see a sign from You” (Matthew 12:38). How did Christ respond? By picking up a deadly snake or drinking poison? “But He answered and said to them, ‘An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and no sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah’ ” (v. 39).
The power of the gospel is not demonstrated in a believer’s life by performing a miracle (or strange new things for that matter) to show we have faith. It is seen in a changed life.
They are no different from the Bonnkes and the Owuors people flock to Uhuru Park to see and have high regard for. Deception has different strokes for different folk.
Oh, It is true Jesus performed miracles, but they were to relieve humans from suffering, not to appeal to curious or doubtful onlookers. As is the case with our christians.
