Biblical Witchcraft/Sorcery that was commanded by "God" - understanding biblical contradictions

I don't think anybody would fault you for having too open a mind.. if even one's mind can be 'too' open

Would I care to share my thoughts on something that if you had read the bible you would of seen for yourself in later books such as Acts, Galatians?
Not really no. Read it and make up your own mind.

When you're making up a story it's really hard to not have contradictions in it. Especially something written in that time fram at that location. Even modern stories make constant mistakes, check out Movie Mistakes or CinemaSins . As a Jedi you have to understand that it is just a myth mixed with the culture of the time and seasoned with some universal truths.

According to Don Koenig who seems to be what you consider an authority on what is truly christian, the Bible is "the only reliable authority for men to live by". So that either means that reliability and inconsistency go hand in hand or that it is perfectly consistent throughout.

While I'm at it, I'd like to point out that if you are an open-minded person, you will quickly find that books usually are rather short and that it is without exception always a wiser choice to rely on what reality dictates instead. Those of us who are not trying to live by a holy text never struggle with any of the problems all of them have. Of course, we have other worries, living in a world that is so bad at keeping us alive and well, to say nothing of all those who wish us ill in the meantime... Whether magic is good or evil in the eyes of the ceiling cat, however, is really, really not one of those worries.

These are not, when taken entirely in context, contradictions. People who assume contradictions of this nature (and not simply the sort that arise from differences in post-factual eyewitness accounts) need to look closely at where they believe the misunderstanding lies. More often than not these seeming contradictions are actually exceptions that prove the rule rather than simple oversights.

Not that anybody ever listens the other fifteen thousand times I have this conversation in a month.

Great book the Enoch 7e after Adam. One of my favorite. Wherever what I learn from Bible it's God hate magic. Not because it give something but more because it occult something. Making people stupid and supertitious. It wrote that the people fail because they don't knew. What he want it's order, love and that you get smarter. Not à fool, been manipulate by lesser spirits that wished to be like a god. May the Force enlight our path

Ps: The never say do magic.. He said to that and that. Like toMoïse he just throw the staff without the abracabra and he eat the others one. Open the river and the flow took pharao. Walk with reality and been raped by God like Enoch, Elia, Jesus, even Bouddha I think.
