Occult & Witchcraft
Deuteronomy 18:10-15 — There shall not be found among you
anyone who makes his son or his daughter pass through the
fire, or one who practices witchcraft, or a
soothsayer, or one who interprets omens, or a sorcerer, or one
who conjures spells, or a medium, or a spiritist, or one who
calls up the dead. For all who do these things are an
abomination to the Lord,
and because of these abominations the
Lord your God
drives them out from before you. You shall be blameless before
the Lord your God.
For these nations which you will dispossess listened to
soothsayers and diviners; but as for you, the
Lord your God has
not appointed such for you. “The
Lord your God will
raise up for you a Prophet like me from your midst, from your
brethren. Him you shall hear,
Isaiah 8:19 — And when they say to you, “Seek those who
are mediums and wizards, who whisper and mutter,” should not a
people seek their God? Should they seek the dead
on behalf of the living?
1 Samuel 15:23 — For rebellion is as the sin of
witchcraft, And stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry.
Because you have rejected the word of the
Lord, He also has
rejected you from being king.”
Leviticus 19:26 — ‘You shall not eat anything with
the blood, nor shall you practice divination or soothsaying.
Leviticus 19:31 — ‘Give no regard to mediums and familiar
spirits; do not seek after them, to be defiled by them: I am
the Lord your God.
1 Chronicles 10:13-14 — So Saul died for his
unfaithfulness which he had committed against the
Lord, because he
did not keep the word of the
Lord, and also
because he consulted a medium for guidance. But he did
not inquire of the Lord;
therefore He killed him, and turned the kingdom over to David
the son of Jesse.
