Divination (a definition):  using supernatural ways to get knowledge of the future or the unknown.Hello everyone! Today we're talking about divination. It's a strange topic but it fits in with our interest in the supernatural. Lindy and I are testing our interest in the supernatural by exploring what the bible says on the matter. Divination is linked to the supernatural world that exists outside of religion. In this way, supernatural practises such as divination are taboo in the religious world. When reading scriptures that condemn divination in the bible, it seems that the problem comes down to the idea that there are many sources of knowledge in the supernatural world. People have looked for knowledge from the supernatural realm for thousands of years.  When reading the old testament, it is clear to see that God takes the time to show the nation of Israel how to live in a a good, life-affirming way. God takes care of his people and wants the best for them. In taking care of the people, God tells them not to look to fortune tellers and other gods for answers. God gives them prophets, as a way to guide and give knowledge to the people. God does this so that they don't feel like they have to look somewhere else for answers.This is a challenge for me because I like the idea of being free to explore the supernatural in a way that encourages spiritual growth. Reading the bible and understanding why God would want his people to stay away from diviners, challenges me to ask myself if looking towards God for supernatural guidance is enough. I always say God is enough. But in reality, I find myself wanting to have God's word and other things too. But God is the creator of the whole world. Beginning and end. Of course he knows everything. It's a good one. We hope you enjoy it and as always- thankyou for joining the conversation.Find us at:Email: [email protected]: @whatweeventalkinbout Hosted on Acast.
