Answer 1

Happy Chanukkah to you as well!

answer is because it breaks commandment #1

Answer 2

To judge others is to disrespect God, no matter how one looks at it. God would not judge or condemn that which he has created, and since he created Man and Man created sorcery, does that not in a way make sorcery a creation of God and not just some occult fantasy? True, there are some darker magicks in the world if you believe them to be real, but God created the entire world and all that is in it, both good and bad - the bad is simply a test of our ability to distinguish between the two. Judgement of others is as much a sin as the occult, if not moreso, as that judgement comes from a closed mind and heart that would rather refuse to learn than accept what is. Besides, without darkness, how would we appreciate light?

Answer 3

It was spoken against in the OT because most who practiced it did not give God the credit for the power. Also there were as many fakes then as now leading people astray for money. The early Christian church was against it because it was a rival religion. Also it is condemned because it is dangerous in that while the practice is not evil in itself, the power can mislead a person to grandiose thoughts and to the dark side. When one gives over ones will to God and sees God as the source of all, that is safer. The lure to use the powers of the universe for ones own selfish reason is very great, and I think that this is the main reason that sorcery is condemned. I am sure that Jesus was tempted in this way as well, but he did not give in to it, and in all things He acknowledged that the power was the power of God and it was through God that he was doing the things that He did.

Answer 4

Very interesting! As a wizard myself, I've never "lurked in secret waiting for the object of my sorcery." Instead I get up and go to work everyday just like most people.

Wanna know the funny thing? I work as a Protestant church organist. And I've never been smited by a lightning bolt at the organ. Or at the piano. Or in the choir loft. Or even on the altar.

Answer 5

God does not judge them, mankind does. God does not Condemn anything, Mankind does.

People whom are judgeing others saying they will go to hell , are the one s whom them self I Promise will See Hell.

Think of this:

A Lord of a large land, has hundreds of people living on his land. One day, he leaves the land to go on a trip. He doesn't tell anyone, and he doesn't leave Anybody in charge, because everyone is His son or daughter.

During his absence, some people get worried, and begin to fear that if others do not do as They think they should, Then , when there Father returns, He will be angery.

So , these people who are worrying , become leaders, and try and lead the folk of the land to follow the rules that the leaders state. And for those who do Not listen nor follow them, the leaders throw them off the land into the wild.

Then , one day, there Father, the Lord of the land, Returns. And noticeing that some of His children are missing, he asks around and finds out what happened.

Within a moment, he is face to face with the leaders, and asks them why they sent forth some of His children.

Responding to Him, the leaders reply that they were doing it For Him.

Yet with this, the Father answers with Great anger saying" You did Nothing for Me ! You have sent forth MY children , Whom I LOVE! They are Now Lost in the Darkness . And you sent them forth in MY NAME !!! "

Then , the Father got more angery," For this, YOU shall receive the Same Punishment that you gave my children. "

With that , the leaders and all whom followed them, were sent forth from the Lord s Land. Into the Darkness.

Woe to Those whom lose the children of God, For They SHALL see Hell.

Answer 6

Sorcery. Witchcraft. Divination. Scrying. Conjuring.

All of these are instruments and devices that takes the focus away from God who is the source of all truth and knowledge. The source of these things is the devil who has great power to deceive and lure and tempt.

It is written in the scriptures that Satan has power over armies and nations, able to conjure storms, cause disease and famine and plagues. He can mimic the miracles of God, as seen with Moses's confrontation with the pharoah's magicians.

He will set up priestcrafts and false religions to deceive and corrupt and lure the minds and souls of man away from the truths of God.

That is why he condemns them.

Answer 7

God has a very valid reason, sorcery, witchcraft, any divination,
brings up the dark, Satan and His Demons.I do not have a clue what you are saying about God sending delusions.That also is
the work of Satan.

Answer 8

God does not condemn sorcery simply because it does not exist.
People however frown upon the antics of charlatans.

Answer 9

I am tired of answering all the ignorant misinformed Christians. Why do you curse us? Are so insecure that you must resort harassing others? Have we ever done anything to you? Have you ever actually used you brain or do you just spout whatever gibberish you minister screams from the pulpit? Blessed be.

Answer 10

sorcery is the object of satanic forces, luring the young and stupid into the realms of eternal hell. And all those who practice it won't even know that until they are literally backstroking through the lakes of sulphur.
