Correct me if i'm wrong. I think there is no biblical injunction
in the Old TEstament that one's hand or feet is to be chopped off
as penalty for stealing.
As to the possiblity of repelling this 'no-divination' principle in
the New TEstament; actually it is not repelled. Doing these things
are trafficking with demons and not God.
Ga 5:19 Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are:
adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness,
20 idolatry, sorcery,
hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish
ambitions, dissensions, heresies,
21 envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I
tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past,
that those who
practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of
God.
Notice the word 'sorcery' in verse 20. . It refers to those people
who dabble with the occult. what does the New Testament say about
those who practice such things?
verse 21: ...'that those who practice such things will not inherit
the kingdom of God.'
