The Bible is clear in its teachings against paganistic rituals, familiar spirits, and blood sacrifices that are not in alignment with God's commands. Here are some relevant biblical verses:
1. Leviticus 19:31 (NIV): "Do not turn to mediums or seek out spiritists, for you will be defiled by them. I am the Lord your God."
2. Leviticus 20:6 (NIV): "I will set my face against anyone who turns to mediums and spiritists to prostitute themselves by following them, and I will cut them off from their people."
3. Deuteronomy 18:10-12 (NIV): "Let no one be found among you who sacrifices their son or daughter in the fire, who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft, or casts spells, or who is a medium or spiritist or who consults the dead. Anyone who does these things is detestable to the Lord..."
4. 1 Chronicles 10:13-14 (NIV): This passage recounts the downfall of King Saul, who consulted a medium instead of seeking the Lord's guidance, leading to his tragic end.
5. Acts 16:16-18 (NIV): This passage describes the Apostle Paul rebuking a slave girl who had a spirit of divination, demonstrating the power of God over such practices.
These verses highlight the dangers and disobedience associated with paganistic rituals, familiar spirits, and blood sacrifices that are not in accordance with God's will. The Bible consistently warns against seeking guidance or power from sources other than God and emphasizes the importance of following His commands and seeking Him alone for wisdom and protection.
