All REAL magic is a sin. God created us the way he wanted. He is the only one who can do everything. By practicing any type of magic (witchcraft, ouiji board, black and white magic, etc.) we're saying that we want to be like god and maybe better.
Answer 2:
Practicing white magic is not a sin at all. Simply because one is essentially asking beneficent spirits (or "God" if you are a Judeo-Christian-Muslim) to project positive energy in some way and for a beneficial or altruistic purpose.
But isn't that what happens when someone prays for someone else?
Like for someone to be healed?
Exactly. Which is why it is not a sin.
It is all a matter of spiritual focus in the asking.
"White" magic is a form of witchcraft and is not of God. In Exodus 7 Aaron performed a miracle by turning rods into snakes. But when the magicians performed this act is it described as "enchantment" (Exodus 7:11). Enchantment is a form of witchcraft. The Bible clearly states that witchcraft is a sin (1 Samuel 15:23, Galatians 5:20). Futhermore, to call a form of magic "white" makes the suggestion that it is good or innocent. The truth is that magic is magic and it is not of God even if it is perceived to be for a "good purpose." Isaiah 5:20 warns us about calling evil things good. Besides, all good things come from God such as healing and love. If you truly trust him seek Him for those things, not magic.
Prohibited. Black magic does exist but is a sin(haram) to practise.
The fact that magic wouldn't work if God didn't enable it to, doesn't make it a good thing.For Jews, magic is a major sin and is strictly forbidden (Deuteronomy ch.18).
Depends on your belief system. Most people see magic and magicians as entertainment, which is what they are, what they are designed to be.
No, Tolkien was a Catholic. But he had no problem with fantasy magic in fictional stories, as that isn't real and the Catholic Church has no opposition to fictional stories. Catholic Church doctrine clearly states that occult magic is "a lie of the Devil" and practicing it is a very serious sin. When they say occult magic is a "lie" they mean very clearly that it is NOT real and any observed effects and results are faked by either the Devil or his demons. This is what Tolkien believed.
no it is not a sin Is it not aloud??
I suggest that it is (sin A)^2 + (cos A)^2 = 1
No. The good angels do not sin at all, they always do what is right.
You don't get "sinned" you sin (verb) or commit a sin (noun). To answer your question, I understand that practicing Hindu should have a vegetarian diet, so eating meat would be a breach of the faith - a sin.
On the contrary. Consulting her was a sin on Saul's part. He knew it was a sin, because he himself had stamped out such practices (1 Samuel 28:9), in keeping with the Torah's prohibition in Deuteronomy ch.18.
yes there is sometimes a good reason for people to sin
The keyword to know that doing good is right and not doing it is sin is "conscience."
