***and that's not divination, divination is trying to find real data ususally from the future, ***

Divination is also seeking after knowlege using spiritual means other an appeal to God.

div·i·na·tion "The art or act of foretelling future events or revealing occult knowledge by means of augury"

"...or revealing occult knowledge..."




***You're saying the books lead people away from Christianity, that is condemning, and false.****

Is that really the best you can come up with???


(Next I suppose you will argue that no book can lead a person away from Christ!)

The mirror doesn't tell the future, doesn't reveal occult knowledge, and isn't augery. All it does is show a person with the thing they want the most, it doesn't show them how to get it, it doesn't show them why they want it, it doesn't show them other people's great desires (two people looking in the mirror at the same time will each see their own thing and not the others), it just shows a person WITH the thing they desire the most nothing else.

Of course even if it was divinitation the mirror is presented as clearly a BAD thing because of its addictive properties that people shouldn't mess with, even the greatest wizard of the era wants to have nothing to do with the mirror because it's nasty and dangerous. So one way or the other you're wrong, the mirror isn't divination, and if it was divination then it is presenting divination as bad.

I would never say that, because I have personally witnessed how the books of lies presented by the condemning Christians damning that which they don't understand push people away from Christ. Your people are the ones leading people away from Christ, I've seen it happened, hell I LIVED IT. It was people LIKE YOU that drove me away from Christ. So yes I know books can drive people away, but not the books your condemning, the books your using to condemn are the ones that do it.
