“When you come into the land which the LORD your God is giving you, you shall not learn to follow the abominations of those nations. There shall not be found among you anyone who makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire [an ancient occult practice], or one who practices witchcraft, or a soothsayer, or one who interprets omens, or a sorcerer, or one who conjures spells, or a medium, or a spiritist, or one who calls up the dead. For all who do these things are an abomination [detestable] to the LORD…”
-Deuteronomy 18:9-12a

because they like to get their advice from their pastor. why the heck are you even practicing palm reading or fortune telling? well i dont want to know why- i rather not know. so the logic goes since i dont know what to do with my life- let me ask a fortune teller, he or she might know how i should live my life. some money and a good story to tell is all i need. hey if you dont know how to live your life, theres plenty of people who would decide for you.

We have the example of Saul to thank for that.

1 Chronicles 10:13 Saul died because he was unfaithful to the LORD; he did not keep the word of the LORD and even consulted a medium for guidance,
14 and did not inquire of the LORD. So the LORD put him to death and turned the kingdom over to David son of Jesse.

Because the men who wrote the bible believed in the occult and decided that "God" would be jealous of its power. If you read the bible's condemnation of the occult, this becomes quite clear.

Very simply it is because only God is truth and knows the future,the lying spirit called Satan will use these things to decieve us.

They believe that you are getting your answers from the devil, and that they will come with a price.
