Galatians 5:19<\/b>\u00a0<\/a><\/span>\u00a0Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality,\u00a0idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions,<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/span>2 Peter 2:1<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/span>Revelation 22:15<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0Outside are the dogs and sorcerers and the sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
The law shows that such communication is\u00a0possible, and the penalty shows that it is\u00a0dangerous.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is clearly against the will of God that in this life men should hold any communication with the spirit world, save that of direct fellowship with Himself, through His Son, by the Holy Spirit.\u201d \u201cThus with blunt directness and complete finality, the law of God against all traffic with the world of evil spirits was put into effect.\u201d (Morgan)<\/p>\n
Witchcraft not only gives that honor to the devil which is due to God alone, but bids defiance to the divine providence, wages war with God\u2019s government, puts his work into the devil\u2019s hand, expecting him to do good and evil.\u00a0(Benson)<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/b>In every form of witchcraft there is an appeal to a power not acting in subordination to the divine law. From all such notions and tendencies true worship is designed to deliver us. The practice of witchcraft was therefore an act of rebellion against Yahweh, and, as such, was a capital crime. The passages bearing on the subject in the Prophets, as well as those in the law, carry a lesson for all ages. (Barnes)<\/p>\n
Whatever pretensions might be made to it; however, such being deceivers of the people, and leading them into unwarrantable practices, and off of a dependence on God and his providence, and from seeking to him, and asking counsel of him, they are by this law condemned to death. (Gill)<\/p>\n
Witchcraft was professedly a league with powers in rebellion against God. How far it was delusion, how far imposture, how far a real conspiracy with the powers of evil, cannot now be known. Let the most rationalistic view be taken, and still there was in the practice an absolute renunciation of religion, and of the authority of Jehovah. (Uknown)<\/p>\n
Sorcery was resorted to for all kinds of purposes, to heal diseases, to ward off disasters, to bring misfortune upon a neighbour, to inspire a woman with love, &c.; it was often supposed to operate by the power obtained through incantations or other spells over spirits. (Cambridge)<\/p>\n
I have to say I don\u2019t really give the occult world and those that practice it much thought. I did look up books promoting various occult practices. There are 100\u2019s of them easily obtained online. People looking for meaning in their life, communicating with the dead, how to cause harm to another, how to find peace, wanting to impress others, etc\u2026. will not find it apart from God. There is no hope to be found in the occult spirit world. Seeking to communicate with Satan and his demon spirits will have a very dark effect on the soul of the person seeking. Inviting them into your life will destroy hope, peace, rest, love, and joy, which can only be found in and through Jesus Christ. Ouija boards are the same commitment to seeking demonic spirits.\u00a0 <\/span>There is even an ouija Christian board for sale online stating \u201cthe entity behind the board<\/b>, recently released another video encouraging\u00a0Christians<\/b>\u00a0to purchase the\u00a0board<\/b>\u00a0so that they can hear messages from God\u201d.\u00a0 <\/span>Do Not believe these lies.\u00a0 <\/span>This is of satan and his demon world..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
