IS ALL MAGIC BAD? The first five books of the Bible speak against witchcraft (magic) including the Tower of Babel in Genesis, as well as Deuteronomy and Leviticus where God says to stay away from the “abomination” of witchcraft. So, the warnings to stay away from witchcraft of any kind are from the beginning of the Bible all through to even the last page where God is saying what sounds like, "I'm telling you people that you better pay attention to this: 'Do NOT get involved with witchcraft!’ " God could have listed any one of a huge number of possible sins but what made the list there at the beginning, throughout, and then was even reiterated at the end? It is the abomination of witchcraft. God is displeased with it because the practice leads people straight to hell. Those who get involved with the occult don't get saved through Jesus Christ so they will not make it through the gates to heaven. This is a serious issue and a satanic trap God is warning about. Practicing witchcraft is no way to live in this life and not how we get to the next. I like what one guy said: "God is a God of miracles. Satan is a performer of magic.” All the devil has is magic tricks—witchcraft. Satan does have considerable power but it's nothing compared to God. Relative to God, the amount of Satan’s power is no more than a dust particle on the hair of a flea. And the devil’s power is even counterfeit, being made up of the lies, trickery, and occult practice, including witchcraft. It's enough power to dupe us into thinking it's something special, like what God can do. But it's not at all godly and instead leads us astray, ultimately ending up in hell.
