Bible Question: what does Leviticus 19:31 means |
Bible Answer: Greetings, It should be straight forward. This is a warning to not mess around with the occult, witchcraft, sorcery, tarot card, and the like. The Bible paints a dim view on such things. Deuteronomy 18:9-14 goes into greater detail about this. Basically, such mysticism takes one's view and faith away from God. While they may have religious symbolism to them, they aren't Godly nor Christian. In fact, the passage in Deuteronomy says that such practices corrupt and defile a person. Despite the attempts of Hollywood to paint a pretty picture of sorcery, witchcraft, and similar practices, such things lead to nothing good. Jalek |
