The following biblical references
|
|||
|
|
to twelve magical practices are
|
|||
|
|
presented for the reader to review.
|
|||
|
|
No attempt has been made to judge
|
|||
|
|
their validity. The King James
|
|||
|
|
version of The Holy Bible was used
|
|||
|
|
for the scripture passages and
|
|||
|
|
Webster's Dictionary was used for
|
|||
|
|
the definitions given. In all cases
|
|||
|
|
the "paranormal" criteria means the
|
|||
|
|
following practices were practiced
|
|||
|
|
without the aid/intervention of The
|
|||
|
|
Holy Spirit, ie. through the aid of
|
|||
|
|
other spirits or by man alone.
