Magic, Sorcery, and the Bible’s Clear Warning

What does Scripture clearly teach about magic, sorcery, divination, and occult practices? In this episode of Contending for the Word Q&A, Doreen Virtue answers a listener's question by examining key biblical passages including Deuteronomy 18, Acts 16, Acts 19, and Revelation 21–22. Scripture consistently warns against practices such as divination, necromancy, sorcery, charms, and seeking hidden spiritual power outside of God. This episode explains: • Why God forbids occult practices • How modern New Age spirituality reflects ancient paganism • What the New Testament teaches about spiritual deception • Why repentance involves turning away from occult practices • How true freedom and peace are found only in Jesus Christ The Bible does not point us toward secret wisdom, mystical power, or hidden knowledge. It points us to Christ and the sufficiency of God's Word. For more episodes and biblical resources from Contending for the Word Q&A, visit: https://servantsofgrace.org/contending-for-the-word-qa/
