I swear to god, this is why I have so many issies with Christians. Awright, look. Let me break it down for you. Christians hate "witchcraft" which is anything unnatural, because they are told to. The quote you are looking for is Exodus 22:18, Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live. However, nifty fact, that wasn't phrased that way till about the 14 to 15 hundreds, with the King James reformation. Same time as the heavy witch hunts. See, James had a fetish for witches, and changed "holy" writ to suit himself. Not the first time either. Exodus is originally written in Ancient Hebrew, and the word for witch there is best described as "Hexer." Back in those days, Jews worked "spells" alongside pagans. In the same ways. A focused prayer with intent, energy, and conscious follow through. One who blessed others, by all means leave them in peace. One who intentionally and maliciously harmed others, catch em and stone em. Hence Exodus.

However, this doesn't lead directly to you, now does it? But it does. You see, both Jews and later Christians performed feats of overt magic. Even Jesus taught his disciples forms of the craft, to help Humanity. However, the church didn't like the thought of the populace having more power than they, so they reinforced the outlaw and changed the Disciples "Magic" into "Miracles." Difference is anyone can do magic, but it's only a miracle if the CHURCH says it is. Magic bad, miracle good. See the brainwashing?

See, Magic is simply willpower and guiding the energy of Creation. Exactly as Jesus meant Christians to.

More to the point, any kinesis you see here isn't magic. The power isn't that of creation. Rather, it is the power of the mind, hence we call that ki. All a kinesis is is a way of altering your CONSCIOUS perception of the world around you. What we percieve is so mindboggingly skewed to fill our incredibly limited perceptions that to reach beyond that seems blasphemeous.

Also, if all that didn't convince you, maybe this will. Look up Matthew 25:15-30. The parable of the inheritences. You see, God meant for us to use this power. Otherwise, He wouldn't have given us the ability to use it. One person in a thousand, that's an anomoly. Every single person? That's intentional. Jesus even taught his disciples directly, further proof. All you are doing is honing something given to you, thereby giving God a very large return on His investment. I beg of you, don't bury your gifts as the third tenant did. Grow them, cultivate them. Reap the rewards of hard work so that you may return twofold what was given to you.
