An increasing number of people turn to the occult services. We differentiate between white and black magic, believing that white magic is the people. Is there a kind of magic?
The Bible does not share the magic of the black or white, but warns that magic, how would call it, is intended to lead people astray and make them dependent on magic, powers of the devil
There is nothing wrong with white magic, - declared confidently us healer, when talking about the occult. It raised the dead, and this, as she thought, helped people. Look closely and you'll notice propaganda white magic everywhere. Movies, cartoons, TV programs, books and toys confirm that good spirits ready to help. Contact with cosmic forces are seen as enrichment of the spiritual life. It is believed that they help to uncover the inborn capacity. To white magic can be attributed palm reading, fortune telling, charms and more. People with curiosity reach for the unknown.
Surprising
Too often begins in childhood or adolescence. Increased interest in supernatural phenomena later leads to constant contact with the beyond power. And this can be traced tactics that not surprise those who read the Bible. The thing is that in Eden, the devil has been inventive, which led to the fall of the first people. In the garden of Eden the devil offered him to violate God's ban and partake of the fruit of:"and you shall be as gods" (Genesis 3,5). Only instead of the promised people received slavish dependence of sin and suffers to this day. But after that, the devil has scored success and led the people away from God. White magic is one of the variations of his tricks.
The boundaries are blurred
The healer, which we have already mentioned, have distanced themselves from such manifestations of black magic as building damage and satanic mass. She did not want to know. So, some of the manifestations may be good and others are bad? People who have the occult, argue that the distinction between white and black magic is so blurred that we can speak of a single concept of magic.
Caution: danger!
The Bible does not share the magic of the black or white, but warns that magic, how would call it, is intended to lead people astray and make them dependent on magic, powers of the devil. God does not want people's callings. "Not be found among you who sacrifices his son or his daughter pass through the fire, a fortuneteller, a fortuneteller, witch, wizard, obayatel, calling spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer dead; for so are abomination unto the Lord : whosoever doeth this... thou shalt be perfect with the Lord thy God" (Deuteronomy 18:10-13). As we can see, between magic and God there is nothing in common. Using the services of white magic, one turns to the devil and renounces God. Even if magicians, sorcerers and healers use in their rituals Bible or Christian symbolism, it shouldn't be misleading, because Christ himself warns us, "take heed that you are not misled; for many will come in My name, saying, I am; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them" (Heb. Luke, 21,8). "Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves" (Heb. Matthew, 7,15).
We must also understand that the person who once sought the services of magic remains occult - addicted forever. There are many cases when"healed" so-called white mages people haunted by nightmares, hallucinations, voices, etc. but the Bible says that only Jesus Christ is the Son of God gives a person a full exemption from any dependence and all sin here on earth and in eternity. "The reason the Son of God appeared to destroy the works of the devil" (1 John 3,8).
