Isaiah 47: 12 "Keep on, then, with your magic spells and with your many sorceries, which you have labored at since childhood. Perhaps you will succeed, perhaps you will cause terror. 13 All the counsel you have received has only worn you out! Let your astrologers come forward, those stargazers who make predictions month by month, let them save you from what is coming upon you. 14 Surely they are like stubble; the fire will burn them up. They cannot even save themselves from the power of the flame. Here are no coals to warm anyone; here is no fire to sit by. 15 That is all they can do for you-- these you have labored with and trafficked with since childhood. Each of them goes on in his error; there is not one that can save you.
Ezekiel 13:20 "'Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I am against your magic charms with which you ensnare people like birds and I will tear them from your arms; I will set free the people that you ensnare like birds. 21 I will tear off your veils and save my people from your hands, and they will no longer fall prey to your power. Then you will know that I am the Lord. 22 Because you disheartened the righteous with your lies, when I had brought them no grief, and because you encouraged the wicked not to turn from their evil ways and so save their lives, 23 therefore you will no longer see false visions or practice divination. I will save my people from your hands. And then you will know that I am the Lord.'"
Revelations 21:8
But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars--their place will be in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death."

Well, people believe in the bible because they put their faith in God's word because he's the creator of everything and he sent his son who was perfect and never sinned to be crucified on a cruel and rugged cross, to be spat on, and mocked/ made fun of for EVERY BODIES sins. He did this for you and me because he knows that we have sin in our hearts and if it weren't for the perfect sacrifice "Jesus Christ" we would all burn in *ell.
It's not hypocritical to say that we believe in the Bible and not in Magic because what God does in the Bible isn't magic or witch craft it's miracles. Miracles come from God not some possion or spell that a human makes up.
People who believe in the bible know that magic exists but God says to turn your heads to things like that because they are of the devil. Magic is what the devil put on Earth to make people think that they are just as good as God or to say they can do things that God cant. The truth is that ANYTHING is possible if it has God in it! Christians don't need to believe in (have faith in) magic because we put our faith in the one who is most worthy and deserving, Jesus Christ!!!!!

Well, you can call It "magic" if you like, but the idea usually associated with the word "magic" and the concept of miracles are different. Magic usually is used for personal gain, and is associated with personal power, because it is controlled by the individual. Miracles are the result of asking a higher power, namely God, for something, and God granting the request. You can't control God, so asking God to help you perform a miracle is not using magic.

Magic is real and so is sorcery how ever it is a sin. Contacting the dead is far beyond the capabilities of the human being, demons work in such power

yes it is, the bible is full of accounts of magic. and even at least one account of a prophet going to a seer.
but then again logical thinking has never been the strong point of the Christian religion. they go more on emotion than any actual thought process.

God is not a wizard, He is God, he does more then magic.
The bible is not full of spells, and tricks. Its real, and very powerful, more powerful then the wizard Satan.
His power is only as great as people who worship him let him become.
His power will die with his planet earth.
This is his kingdom. People who are not born again, are his people.
God will stand forever, and so will the Bible.

How can it be hypocritical? Magic isn't real.
The miracles done in the Bible were real, with eye witnesses.

No it is not.
GOD has the Real Thing.
Magic is a Pervsion of the Real Thing.
There is no Truth in satan (can't come up with his own stuff, he's an angel, not a Human Being), satan watches GOD, copies and Perverts it.

Miracles is from God as
Magic is from Satan
the Pharaohs priests turning the staff into a snake was magic ( from the devil )
Moses turning the staff into a snake was a miracle ( from God )
In His Holy and Precious Name, Jesus Christ
