I should have added that the ultimate question to put forth to any one in any other religion is the same question Christ asked His disciples about what people were saying about Him....

"Who do people say that I am?"

So..... for the Wiccan.... what do they do with Jesus? Who do they say He is? Is He the Son of God, God incarnate, second person of the Trinity, God of very God, the one who will one day judge all the earth, the one before whom every knee will bow, the only way to salvation, the only way to the Father...? If the answer to any of these questions is "no" then your friend is lost, dead in her sins and transgressions, and the best friend you can possibly ever be to her is to tell her of the way the truth and the life... and not leave the relationship with any misunderstandings about that fact.... about the thought "well you believe what you want to believe, if it makes you happy to pray to God, to believe in Jesus, to sing songs of worship to Jehovah, Jesus the Son and the Holy Spirit then fine.... that religion is fine for you, I just don't believe those things, I have my own beliefs thank you very much".... then you have a very serious responsibility to be completely clear with her.... if Jehovah does not exist, if Jesus the Messiah is not the only way to God and if the Holy Spirit likewise does not exist, they all your/our believing, praying, singing songs etc will not bring into existence a triune being that does not in fact, in all reality, objectively exist. We have to get away from the rampant subjectivism and pluralism and find a way to tell people that 2 contradictory statements or propositions cannot possibly exist... and therefore 2 contradictory statements about Jesus cannot both be true.
So... what does she say about your Lord and Saviour, Jesus the Christ? Where she errs, it is your duty and privilege to correct her.....

blessings,
Ken
