"Magic is always a turn to the devil"
~~ Rev. Gabriele Amorth, the pope's exorcist
The power of apparently influencing the course of events by using mysterious or supernatural forces.
That God would come to earth born as a human, of a virgin, to be the Messiah to a people-group who hated him and eventually crucify him, only to die and be raised from the dead....
Sounds just a bit mysterious and supernatural to me.
Perhaps someone ought to exorcise the pope's exorcist.
By the way, Mr. Pope's Exorcist, it was Magi who came to visit the babe in the manger and give him money to flee Herod. Magi. They do magic. That's where we get the english word for magic, from the greek magi. It's in the Bible, and they aren't all bad people!!
