Is some involvement acceptable? Is any involvement contrary to God's standards and commands?

I view it skeptically, as I doubt very many magicians are actually into sorcery. and no, no amount of involvement is acceptable, as it is
a) idolatry (treating or regarding anyone/anything greater or equal to God). When you perform sorcerous acts, you attain a spiritual epxerience (demonic) forbidden by God, but encouraged by the devil.
b) a hazard to any relationship with God

Magic is a trick. I enjoy it and enjoy trying to figure out the trick.
Magic tricks can be used to make some good illustrations in Sunday School settings incidentally. I can use a change bag to change multicolored silks to one large tie die one, or a dollar to 4 quarters. That is a trick. Only God can change a mans heart. That is not magic it is a miracle
Belief in magic as something other than a trick is a self decpetion of the heart.

First everybody who believes that each physique 3 faiths worship an analogous god have not accomplished any functional study of the Quran and the Bible. 2nd, basically by way of fact human beings declare to worship a god, does no longer mean they do. maximum religions in case you seem at them heavily have at their heart a concentration on how some human beings can justify their ruling of others. and human beings who have not have been given been twisted by utilising non secular leaders to characteristic those motives. Nowhere in Christianity nor Judaism does it warrant the variety of habit you describe. yet as quickly as you initiate forcing human beings to have self assurance a undeniable way (an concept condemned by utilising the Bible yet applied by utilising Constantine), you will get people who declare to have self assurance that way yet do no longer behave that way. The scriptures usually used to help their habit are unquestionably verses that have been created to give up human beings from claiming to have self assurance a fashion and behaving in a distinctive way, to no longer motivate such habit nor for punishing people who do no longer declare to have self assurance. The Torah working example in hassle-free terms inspired violence to enforce the regulations of the Torah upon those claiming to persist with the Elohim or upon the human beings residing interior the promise land who have been sacrificing their little ones to their gods. Christianity condemns violence of any style nevertheless it supplies the govt.the main appropriate to do with the purpose to enforce peace, to no longer persecute non-believers.

I used to be Wiccan myself. A Dianic Witch to be precise. So I like Wiccans. I know that Allah is the true God, but that doesn't mean I'll scream in somebody's face to convert. A person has to see for herself/himself to believe. Not to be told.
Well, for magic it is wrong according to my beliefs. However, I myself don't condemn it. Allah does and it's His job to judge people. Not me.

You do realize that praying is a form of magick don't you? What I mean is say in church, you gather around someone who wants to be cured of something that is wrong with them or they need help with something. You and several others gather around this person. You pray that this person is healed. You put your energy into helping to heal this person. That my friends is a form of magick. rather you like it or not...
also there is a difference in magic and magick.

Scriptures are clear that "magic" has to do with power that is not of YHVH. Therefore it is the other guy, and we are told to avoid it completely!

I'm not a Christian, but if Jesus really did perform those miracles, that was magic.
