I used to attend a pentecostal church in San Diego and one the guys there is against witchcraft. Infact when he saw me doing meditation he immediately told me to stop doing it and instead "meditate in the word of God."

The Bible states clearly that all who practice witchcraft even if it’s small will have their part in the lake of fire which is the Second death revelation 21:8. The Bible saids you cannot serve two masters you either serve God or the devil. The Bible states that in the last days witchcraft will be common and as we are living in 2021 I see it everywhere. You can still serve the devil if you want just be aware he knows his fall is near and he is trying to take as much people with him to hell as possible. You can choose to be destroyed with the devil or allow Christ into your heart he promises to set free those who are willing

In the Christian tradition that I grew up in (the Mennonite tradition), there were certain groups that would pray and draw straws to settle decisions. This was especially prevalent in church where they would have three men write three separate sermons, then draw lots right before the service to determine which sermon was designated by the Holy Spirit to be heard by the people in that particular point in time. When I heard about this as a teenager, I was very confused because it sounded like divination; But, just like everything else in the world, nothing is black and white. Christianity can have some witchcraft, witchcraft can have some Christianity.

Have a few Jewish friends that still practice magic. I myself practiced magic a lot more regularly as a Catholic but I guess that was more because my mom taught me Santeria without me realizing it.

It's very discouraging that many Christians have adopted a skewed vision of the divine. The teachings of Jesus are valid, but so are many other teachings and practices across many other spiritual traditions. I often think that Christians use their view of God is simply a manipulative and control tactic that has nothing to do with God. They are, after all, one of the youngest faiths.

Hi Angela! In the video you say that the bible talks about “only certain types of practices” yet I found a few clear passages that command the jewish people to not get involved in magic, why do you consider that only some where prohibited?

Not to do sorcery.
(Deuteronomy 18:10)


Not to perform as or acknowledge those who purport to channel spirits.
(Leviticus 19:31)

Not to perform as or consult fortunetellers.
(Leviticus 19:31)

Not to be superstitious.
(Leviticus 19:26)

To not self-induce a trance to foresee events or tolerate soothsayers.
(Deuteronomy 18:10)

Not to say incantations or cast spells.
(Deuteronomy 18:11)

Not to consult with mediums.
(Deuteronomy 18:11)

If my elder sister Angela lived in the middle ages, she would control the world with her knowledge, assertive personality, beauty and creative mind, she would be the sweetest magic practitioner anyone could ever think of, and no religious leader would dare to protest as doing that would cost him to end up under her feet for the rest of his life ;)) (Your little brother Juad).

I love information on ancient Israeli religion and magic. And would love more videos on the topic!

[WakandaFacts]

The God of all hosts does not perform magic that comes from the Devil. Their are some doors which should not be open. My prayer for you all that the lord may reveal his light to everyone. May the lord save us all shalom.

We are all sorcerers and our magic springs from within. If you understand it.

I am an ex-Chaos Magician and occultist, now a practicing Christian. Your video is very interesting and informative. Thank you so much for all your hard work Angela, you are great.

Funny thing about the Bible, magic was forbidden to .. the people, yet a king never have much difficulty in finding a .. witch.

Angela can you do videos in Hinduism and other dharmic religions? Their complexity with regards to magic, tantra, divinity, cosmology always baffles me. There is also Brahman which is dharmic version monotheistic God.

Hi Angela, when Moshe rod turned into a snake, Exodus 7:8 pharaohs magicians did the same thing (all magic, yes?) When Joseph was elevated to second in command to pharaoh, he asks the questions of his brothers, "am I not known for my spells?" or something along this line Genesis 44:5. Also, when the donkey starts to speak Numbers 22:28 to Balaam.... is it magic? I do not know, but I expect you do. Thank you for all of your information!

[ryansampaulesi]

Moses and King Soloman were obviously practicing magic so yes I believe that it was done but maybe discouraged by people after either to keep them in high regard or to keep the practice itself sacred and safe to the elite only or both. Love ya Angela and the video!❤️

What about when Saul used a witch to summon the dead and then later on died after the spirit told him he would?
