From our series: Halloween Should Christians Participate". You can find the complete series at Jashow.org. This clip answers the question: What is the biblical definition of divination?
Precise and to the point. Who wants to commune with spirits that are just going to lie to you and give you false information to mislead and misguide you?
Genesis 44:3 As soon as the morning was light, the men were sent away with their donkeys. 4 They had gone only a short distance from the city. Now Joseph said to his steward, “Up, follow after the men, and when you overtake them, say to them, ‘Why have you repaid evil for good? 5 Is it not from this that my lord drinks, and by this that he practices divination? You have done evil in doing this.’” This is speaking of Joseph the son of Israel. Joseph could interpret dreams... SO... I guess it is from whom you are speaking with determines if it is evil or not? Try the spirits 1 John 4:1 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God. For many false prophets have gone out into the world. 2 By this you will know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God,… be very careful... In fact stay away from this practice unless you "KNOW" it is of Yeshua. It is VERY dangerous!
You realize you're parroting common misconceptions, and your statement, "I understand the bible says...but" is a common attitude, right? However, God's people know the only reliable, trustworthy messages come from Him in His word. Our adversary masquerades as an angel of light, seeking whom he may destroy--and his agents, the power behind the cards (whom you entrust with your problems) are also very intelligent and very deceptive, and unfortunately, they've got you convinced otherwise.
Actually the original word for divination is pharmakia. The church still tries to deny this but it's true. It has nothing to do with witchcraft. By this logic, every christian who takes medicine is breaking a biblical rule. The bible we have today was a political control tool thanks to Constantine and all his minions. There's still some good stuff in there but most of it is hidden under the surface and the only reason it's still in There is because the people who compiled it didn't understand it. Much of the good stuff was omitted. I love your videos by the way! The bible is worth the read viewing it from an esoteric perspective. The theosophy society has some great content on esoteric Christianity. So do rosicrucians. I try to avoid AMORC but the order in Quakertown PA has some good stuff. AMORC is a little to new agey for me and I just don't like the way they run things. They appear to have more of an agenda and rum their order like a business and do a lot of promoting and recruiting which was totally against rosicrucian philosophy. FRC (the Quakertown order) is more word of mouth and you gotta do some digging to find them. I'm personally not involved with either. I don't really believe in joining groups but through my research of the whole thing, these are the conclusions I've come to. BTW, that Eminem diss was fire! Keep up the good work brother!
Doelow Da Pilotman it's evil if your seeking info not permitted/authorize by God... God revealing things to you is clean and protected.. even if it's a warning. He has dream angel that may assist in giving you some thing from a dream. The enemy can give you Dreams to, like the occult, sorcery and so on and so forth.. Satan copies God.. no he don't have or will ever be God. But he like to duplicate and pervert what is pure and righteous. Like marriage, music. We were made spiritual to be with God. Sin put blinders on life. Which causes human to question/doubt God. And so much more...
The Bible tell us In Luke 10:19 We have the power over the power of the enemy. That mean God has power and the enemy has power. The question is who power you are working under.
Not be rude or anything but those are probably just hallucinations or dreams, In the bible people that God gives visions to is very limited so you would argue that it's a evil spirit but I'm pretty sure they're not hanging out in a church preying on there next victim
Internal Intuition Isn't A Sin, These Insights Come To You Within Your Grasp. Divination May Refer To Utilizing Things Out Of Reach, Such As 'Random'/Chaos That Depend On The Shadows For This Hidden Light.
@haileelynify Are you saying that the cards themselves have power? Where have you obtained your research from so that I may become better educated. Please share.
sheila shaver You want more education to posses this knowledge (to use)? There are no true teachers for this craft. Only someone that may convince you. It only comes forth what you think and how you study them. You want true knowledge begin a study with the Bible. You will learn much more then what your expecting. I understand that what I’m reading of your comment may be related to something that I didn’t read so I may have misunderstood the comment in whole or in part but, either way I stand behind what I say and that is begin a study the world will be open to you along with its knowledge of understanding.
i don't want to start a huge fight, but tarot readings, or whatever are not dangerous. yes many could use them for bad, but i use them for good. they're not always for looking into the future, either. you can use them to solve problems or understand a certain situation. i look into pure, non evil ways of divination, because that is what i believe in. i understand the bible says these things, but please research better. this sounds like more an assumption than anything else.

Joseph, David, and Jesus saw into the future. They were all men of God.
Interesting
Wise man!

So Basically The Whole Bible Is A Devine Book Telling you whats goin to happen in the future yet...devination is evil??????
Doelow Da Pilotman Divination /= Prophecy, which was the point of the video
The Bible is the word of God and therefore sanctioned by God which means according to the explanation they just provided isn't "divination"...

Doelow Da Pilotman (Listen) He said these things are not always truthful and will harm us NOT help us!! 👀 That's not the bible! The bible is life!
Would an eight ball count as divination? Like the one that you shake that they sell in the toy section? This is a serious question.
I've received unasked for visions since I was a child (under 9) and was in the church (Christian ) since I was born. Are you saying I'm dammed?
The Bible tell us In Luke 10:19 We have the power over the power of the enemy. That mean God has power and the enemy has power. The question is who power you are working under.

Can anyone name a few holy people in the Bible who practiced Divination?
None according to the bible, if your definition of divination is visions of the future that are not from god
Maybe Solomon but he wouldn't have been holy since he turned away from God I guess
