Aren't you saying that faith is actually channelling a magic force instead of conviction/ belief/ trust in God? That is very much like Chi or Kundalini, so it does have relevance.
What I said does not invalidate anything from Scriptures
That's not what I said. I was agreeing that they are evidently dead, but your explanation at the cause of this isn't the most likely one I'd pick out. But as you bring it up, it does contradict scripture because God said for his people to be set-apart from that kind of pagan mentality, and to not fall for the magic arts trickery of his spiritual adversaries. Exodus 22:18, Leviticus 19:31, Deuteronomy 18:10-12, Galatians 5:19-21, Revelation 21:8, Acts 19:19.
People who practice magic arts view this commandment as an attempt to weaken people, keep them as slaves. Where as the Bible is clear that it is a protection against forces that desire your destruction, and by engaging in such things you consent to the will of whatever is lending you such powers or the illusion of power.
You see, I said that faith, firm conviction, is concentration of force, and has nothing to do with demonic serpent and these pagan religions.
I don't see how "concentration of force" is different to "channelling a magic force"?
I said earlier that the word faith was misunderstood by those churches, and "channeling magical force" is a pagan term and logic, pagans also do not understand right, both are confused, and practice lies and sorcery. I have nothing to do with it, faith is firm belief and is what I said, if you don't understand, its your problem.
