what part of metaphysical studies goes against the bible?

Question

Please lemme know if u can.

Answer 1

Anything involving spiritists, mediums, witches, communing with the dead, divination, sorcery, etc.

It's outlined in Exodus 22:18, Leviticus 19:31, Leviticus 20:6, Isaiah 8:11, 1 Samuel 15:23, Isaiah 19:3, 1 Samuel 28:5-20.

Answer 2

The Bible--at least the New Testament doesn't really get into "metaphysical studies," although there are passages against "magickal practices" such as "divination" and "sorcery." In part, these are statements that essentially reflect zenophobia antagonism toward the cultural beliefs and practices of other religions and societies. Ironically, however, there are documents out there in which Jesus was accused of being a mage (ie, a magician in the old sense of the word [a sorcerer]) because he performed miracles and healed people. As today, doing these things was considered a bad thing even if the intent and outcome were good. Rites that otherwise could be considered "magical" within cultural religious traditions were always considered sacred and special relational forms of conduct between God and man; rites and practices (mystical and magical) from "other" cultures or marginalized groups were considered "magickal" and, thus, threatening and evil.

Astrology and angelogy (communicating with angels) were practiced during antique and medieval times--among Christian clerics and academics as well as ordinary people. Alchemy, which was related to a form of mysticism called hermeticism, was popular among clerics. [And Christian clerics ironically developed much of what we think of today as black magic when they began "fancifully" writing about what supposed witches were up to). Christianity also was highly influenced by the pagan mystical philosophy of Neoplatonism and, earlier, of Gnosticism. Theologians and academics did however discourage what they deemed to be superstition (certain folk practices related to divination and protective talismanic magic unless it was highly Christianized were examples of superstition in their view).

There are certain metaphysical concept that are the basis of Christianity and these concept differ between different forms of Christianity and also differ between Christianity and other religions and overall metaphysical philosophies. It's not so simply answered when the question is so broad.

Answer 3

Metaphysical studies do not contradict the Bible! In fact, most "Metaphysicists" believe in a Creative Deity. Perhaps they may not follow the Christian Bible literally, but they do not generally refute it. Many (Qabalists, for instance) regard the Old Testament as a cipher in which meanings can be interpreted in various ways, particularly as it is written in Hebrew. Similarly, those interested in Metaphysics tend to recognize Jesus as an historical figure and often are interested in his life beyond what is written about him in the Bible. Metaphysicists are not usually nonbelievers but rather believers in everything, seekers of truth.
