, 02:45, March 22, 2008→Disappointing So-Called Conservative Views: judging, comprehending God, and magic.
::That said, I must add that "magic" is a large word used to describe a great many things. In the case of most fantasy works, "magic" refers to technology that is not fully understood by the user. For example, to a cave man, a television is "magic". What you are talking about is probably "witchcraft" or "necromancy" other "dark art". These types of powers are "supernatural" or "divine". Supernatural powers which are derived from something other than God are what I understand the Bible to prohibit. There is no prohibition against prayers, miracles or technology.

::: We are also told to judge with a righteous judgement; there's no total ban on judging.
::: Not everything that happens is according to God's will (in a sense). He doesn't want any of us to perish, suffer, etc. But He allows these things because we've rejected him. As such, things that could be described as accidents do occur. I can comprehend God, and clearly you believe that yo can too, else you would not be making comments such as God having a plan for us all. That doesn't mean that we can or do understand ''everything'' about Him; there would be an awful lot that we don't and can't understand, but we ''can'' understand some things.
::: I quite agree, however, with your last paragraph.
