Biblical examples include petitioning satan/Demons/Familiar Spirits via potions and cermonial rituals for the supernatural ablity to heal, make someone sick, entertain (As Simon did in acts 8) or to maniuplate and control a persons situation.
And you have personally witnessed such "sorcery" and can provide evidence for its efficacy?

We use to do this in our house, for these reasons.
Sorry must have missed this one somehow.

Indeed as per the example of Simon the Sorcerer in Acts 8 because God is partially responsiable redemption through attonement is offered, if said sorcerer repents.
Quote:To me this seems akin to leaving a burner on with a small child in the kitchen and telling said child not to play near the stove.Great example, but what is the alternitive to a child possiably getting burned? Kill the child? not have children? stop cooking? or tell them not to play around the stove? maybe allow them to even get burned to save them from serious burns later on?
