Magic and What the Bible Says About It

It has come to my attention there are way too many people who have not read or skipped over certain parts of the Bible and use it on ly when they see fit to use it.  Many people think Harry Potter is cool or ok to read or watch or to pretend they are Harry Potter, it is just a game. Well God does nlot think so, so why should we? Let's look up a few scriptures and then do some mediation on them and so for yourselves what you should do next.

1.

(Deuteronomy

18:10-13) ¹⁰ There should not be found in you anyone who makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire, anyone who employs divination, a practicer of magic or anyone who looks for omens or a sorcerer, ¹¹ or one who binds others with a spell or anyone who consults a spirit medium or a professional foreteller of events or anyone who inquires of the dead. ¹² For everybody doing these things is something detestable to Jehovah, and on account of these detestable things Jehovah your God is driving them away from before you. ¹³ You should prove yourself faultless with Jehovah your God.

 So as we read what does Harry do, Practicer of magic, Binds with spells, Looks for omens ( his scar on his head), consults spirit meduims. So what will happen to Harry in the end? So you want that to happen to you?

2.

(Leviticus

19:31) ³¹ “‘Do not turn yourselves to the spirit mediums, and do not consult professional foretellers of events, so as to become unclean by them. I am Jehovah YOUR God. . .

So if you do turn yourselves to these things what are you? Unclean that is right. Do we want to think of ourselves as unclean in God's eyes? I sure would not. I would not allow Jesus to walk into my house if I was doing these things, could you say the same thing?

3.

(Leviticus

20:6) ⁶ “‘As for the soul who turns himself to the spirit mediums and the professional foretellers of events so as to have immoral intercourse with them, I shall certainly set my face against that soul and cut him off from among his people.

Think about this one: he will be cut off from among his people. So if you were doing these things and in time of need call to God, would he answer you? I think not. So why do it?

4.

(Leviticus

20:27) ²⁷ “‘And as for a man or woman in whom there proves to be a mediumistic spirit or spirit of prediction, they should be put to death without fail. They should pelt them to death with stones. Their own blood is upon them. . .

So if God is going to kill those doing these why would we want to get involved at all with these sort of things? I sure do not want to die.

Notice how he list these things in the same book more than once? I think he really wants you to pay attention to his words and get it though that thick head of yours the truth and what he tells us to do. he not only says it in 2 chapters of leviticus he also repeats again in Deuterronomy so it is safe to say yes magic is a sin and should not be practiced no matter how you use it for good or evil. And these are just a few scriptures I found there are a few more but these get right to the point and easy to understand. God's words straight from his book the Bible. Look them up in any Bible you like and you will find them there just slightly worded different.  Let's see how many more scritpures we can find to this subject. Let me know what you all find.

May 15, 2011

Today is the start of a new week and a new begininng. I will try and be more patient.  I will try and love more. I will try and do God's will. I will try and do more spiritually. I will love my neighbors and be less agrressive toward them when the music is loud, or the trucks squeal their tires. I will try and help out more around the house and be the wife I know I should be.
These are just a few goals I have for the rest of the year. I will be posting my thoughts and views here weekly and posting spiritual things as well. Such things as Bible scriptures, things I have learned from service meeting or my Bible study, things I learnd out in the field service.
So hope everyone likes and enjoys. Feel free to comment all you like.
