I wonder how any religion can condemn magic if the magic user is using magic to help others. I know that there are people who use magic for bad purposes such as cheating money out of others, manipulating and harming others, ect. But how can anyone think it's bad to use magic to bless, heal and protect? How would I be bad if I use magic to heal others or communicate with plant spirits or bless and protect others?

It's morally wrong to "use magic" to do the things that you say because there is no evidence whatsoever that 'magic' has any of the positive effects that you claim, and suggesting that it does may mean that the gullible people you prey on don't seek genuine help from conventional medicine that has been proven to be effective.



Claiming that ANYTHING has an effect, when that effect has not been demonstrated, is lying and therefore wrong.

As a magician I can tell You We do not use Magic in religious services except as a form of entertainment. .Using magic I can not heal You or save You or accomplish any other magical miracles. AlI I ever can do is to provide My Audience with some form of amusement and entertainment. And everything I do or any other Magician does can be explained .Only We don't like to tell others how We accomplish Our tricks . But if any Christian Muslim or Jew does think I can use Magic to influence one of Their followers Then I've just accomplished My best act of the day Iv'e turned a Human into a Jackass.

Because I as a Muslim believe that only Allah can truly benefit a person. Magic and sorcery are power from Shaytaan and the evil jinns, and only bring harm in the end.

It is a case of going with the notions of medical science. Magic only creates illusions that are not proven to have real effects. It is different from the miracles of Jesus who actually healed the sick. Though those miracles are considered "magic", they are actually attributed to science which nobody yet understands. Jesus only performed them to convince the witnesses that His authority comes from God. He told us to do the same but with the power of our hard work. St John's Hospital is one of the Christian based facilities that uses modern technology.

Magic, of course, has always been associated with the occult.* Many people in both ancient and modern times believe that the magic practiced by witches is performed to bring harm to others. Witches are credited with the power to inflict severe pain and even death by means of magic. Traditionally, witches have been blamed for an almost limitless array of misfortunes, including illness, death, and crop failure.



Witches today strongly deny such charges. While acknowledging the existence of the occasional rogue witch who pursues evil, most maintain that their magic is used to bring benefits, not harm. Wiccans teach that the effects of magic will return threefold to the person practicing it and say that this is a major deterrent to the pronouncing of curses. Examples of this so-called benevolent magic include spells to protect yourself, to purify your home from negative energy left behind by former tenants, to make a person fall in love with you, to promote healing and health, to prevent the loss of your job, and to acquire money. With such sweeping powers being attributed to witchcraft, it is not surprising that it has become so popular.



The Bible, however, makes no distinction between magic that is good and magic that is evil. In the Law given to Moses, God made his position quite clear. He said: “You must not practice magic.” (Leviticus 19:26) We also read: “There should not be found in you . . . a practicer of magic or anyone who looks for omens or a sorcerer, or one who binds others with a spell or anyone who consults a spirit medium.”—Deuteronomy 18:10, 11.



Why did God say that? It is not because he intends to deny us what is beneficial. Jehovah gave these laws to his people because he loved them and did not want them to become enslaved by fear and superstition. Instead, he invites his servants to approach him for the things they need. He is the Giver of “every good gift and every perfect present.” (James 1:17) The apostle John assured fellow believers: “Whatever we ask we receive from [God], because we are observing his commandments and are doing the things that are pleasing in his eyes.”—1 John 3:22.

The only One who has power to bless, heal and protect is God, and by His Holy Spirit He works blessings, healing and protection through His people. The only real magic comes from the spirits of demons and there only mission is to deceive, destroy and dominate. If it looks like something good is happening from magic, it is simply a deception from the enemies of God Almighty.



Jesus loves you and wants to have a relationship with you. Turn from the evil of this world and choose life in Jesus Christ. If you want to help people, tell them the good news of Jesus' love and salvation for all. God bless.

Watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0VtNHYxbe18 and part 2. Witchcraft is evil. Why you ask? It is of the devil. Any "good" you think you are doing is under the guise of false promises. You think you are doing good but you are not. There is no need to be deceived. Get a kjversion bible and believe. Jesus loves you. Pray for people and help them as Lord says instead.

How could any Christian, Jew or Muslim condemn a magic user for using magic to help others?



Christians are offended if images of saints are printed on products that will be thrown away or trodden under foot. Image of George the Dragon Slayer is imprinted on coins that are lying on the street; and people walk on these coins. Images of saints are printed in newspapers; newspapers end up in trash cans. Similar thing happens with boots that have crosses on the soles; it's blasphemy.





Luck = Moloch = demon. Please, don't wish people luck. Demons move the ouija board. Burn every ouija board that you can find. This sin (tarot card reading, etc.) is 15th on the severity level (20 being the highest of forgivable sins); so, it's pretty bad. Meditation, astral projection, chanting mantras, etc. lead to demon possession.





There is an opinion that when people sin (like witchcraft) their field matches with that of demon's merkaba (merkaba is demon's prison); that's how possession occurs. Psychics are given thoughts and shown pictures by demons.



Another opinion: Zodiac is planetary prisons of demons. Those who believe the Zodiac exhibit traits of one of the demons that is trapped.



Supposedly, white magic helps people, while black magic harms, but, in reality, both cause harm. Casting spells is asking demons for help; demons never do good.

Thoughts and dreams have 3 sources:

1)God and angels,

2)demons,

3)yourself.

Most thoughts and dreams are from demons.

Demons never do good.



Pray the Jesus prayer slowly always:

"Lord, Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me a sinner."

To have normal sleep, pray to your guardian angel. Also, sleep clothed.

Concerning any thought or dream, consult your local Orthodox Christian priest.

Demons pretend to be ghosts and aliens. Don't go into a UFO to be healed by demons.

Dogs are not allowed in your home and your church because the Holy Spirit will leave.





If you're in trouble (demon "alien" abduction, about to be 666ed, sleep paralysis), then pray the Jesus prayer.

Occult stuff (tarot cards, amulets, skulls, masks, talismans, barcodes, etc.) attracts demons. Barcode is Druid black magic curse.

Get rid of all Occult stuff.

Ask Orthodox Christian priest to bless your house. To break any curse, pray slowly the Psalm "the Lord is my light and my salvation" 40 times a day for 40 straight days. That's 1600 times in total.



Demons live inside clones. Jesus created a set number of angels. One third of them rebelled. Jesus turned the rebels into demons. Demons were nice-looking as angels, but now are ugly-looking as demons. So, they have to disguise themselves. Antichrist is surrounded by demons, but people see angels of light. Demons fly in UFOs. Demons pretend to be the dead aka ghosts. Demons pretend to be elves, fairies, etc. Demons never do good. Pagan deities are demons. All demons are male. Apemen and elephantmen are cursed masons from the Tower of Babel (Book of Jasher, Chapter 9, Verse 35). All these masons were also male. So, there are no goddesses.



According to Russian Orthodox Christian Vyacheslav Krasheninnikov: Demons grow human skin and put it on so as to look like us. Demons will invite people to be healed inside their UFOs; those who go will be like zombies after. Gov't provides demons with diamonds and allows demons to abduct people. If you're being abducted, scream: "JESUS!!!" Demons use diamonds and souls to power their UFO craft. The bigger the diamond, the more it lasts. Demons have 4 UFO bases: 1)Moon 2)Inside fake mountain Kailash in Tibet 3)In lake Baikal in Russia 4)In Atlantis which is underneath the Mariana Trench in Pacific Ocean. There are no aliens. Nobody lives on other planets. Airplanes that go down are hit by demons because they need the airspace to fight Jesus.



666 is not forgivable; it leads to permanent hell. 666 is given with World Passport with no name on it (grey plastic card). Police 666 people on highways. Food stores and prisoners 666 people too. Reject vaccines. Don't go into UFO to be healed by demons. Hide with Orthodox Christians to escape 666.



Give to charity in the name of Archangel Michael; he rescues people from hell twice a year (or brings them up a level, that is, to a level with less punishment; eventually, people are freed). Feed the pigeons; when pigeons bow down, people are saved from hell.



Since antichrist (born to a 12th generation prostitute, flying, big-nailed, gloved, pale-faced, red-eyed, Satan-possessed since he's 12 years old, homosexual man from the tribe of Dan, who wears blue robe over left shoulder while red/pink robe is underneath just like Jesus, and is surrounded by demons but people see angels of light) is around, there is no need for disputes.



Vyatcheslav Krasheninnikov was the last prophet before Enoch and Elijah return to preach against the antichrist. According to Russian Orthodox Christian Vyatcheslav Krasheninnikov: Humans were created about 7525 years ago. Birds participate in time creation. It's a sin to kill birds. Dinosaurs live under our level. They will get out through sinkholes and lakes. To kill them, go for their nerves. Save the birds; but kill the dinosaurs. First dinosaur will come out of Volga River in Russia.

Forgive me.
