Dotty dear,
I have some trouble following your volatile logic. Please, bear with me. I'm going to try to form a synthesis of your last two messages.

I meant that your argument saying that the Bible is real because it references real world places is correct.
And one thing I want to know is what is wrong with magic? If your using magic for good then it should be ok right? In a way Jesus has a sort of magic in the sense that he holds amazing healing powers.

Are you sure that this is not a
non sequitur? You claim that
because the Bible mentions real places, it is not real but it is incorrect. If we extrapolate from this assertion and look at some of the authors that you probably revere, we get some quite
interesting results.
Mr.
Darwin (the heretic) wrote
The Voyage of the Beagle in the 1830's. The observations he made eventually caused the terrible debacle of
The Origin of Species, but that is irrelevant right now. What is
pivotal is that Mr. Darwin references
several real places in
his book.
Quote:
Chapter 1 - St. Jago -- Cape de Verd Islands
Chapter 2 - Rio de Janeiro
Chapter 3 - Maldonado
Chapter 4 - Rio Negro to Bahia Blanca
Chapter 5 - Bahia Blanca
Chapter 6 - Bahia Blanca to Buenos Ayres
Chapter 7 - Buenos Ayres and St. Fe
Chapter 8 - Banda Oriental and Patagonia
Chapter 9 - Santa Cruz, Patagonia, and the Falkland Islands
Chapter 10 - Tierra Del Fuego
Chapter 11 - Strait of Magellan -- Climate of the Southern Coasts
Chapter 12 - Central Chile
Chapter 13 - Chiloe and Chonos Islands
Chapter 14 - Chiloe and Concepcion: Great Earthquake
Chapter 15 - Passage of the Cordillera
Chapter 16 - Northern Chile and Peru
Chapter 17 - Galapagos Archipelago
Chapter 18 - Tahiti and New Zealand
Chapter 19 - Australia
Chapter 20 - Keeling Island: -- Coral Formations
Chapter 21 - Mauritius to England

As we can see, he mentions among others
Rio, Chile, Peru, Austria, New Zealand, Tahiti, and Godless England. Let us look at your argument one more time and apply it to Mr Darwin's
oeuvre.

You're thus claiming that
Mr. Darwin's works are incorrect if they mention real places. What does this mean for the
evolutionary theory? Let us examine
The Origin of Species! Are there any real places referenced in that book? Actually, the
first sentence contains a real place called
South America (Mexico).
Quote:
WHEN on board H.M.S. Beagle, as naturalist, I was much struck with certain facts in the distribution of the inhabitants of South America, and in the geological relations of the present to the past inhabitants of that continent.

You've just proven evolution wrong!
Incidentally, witchcraft
is bad because
Jesus has
explicitly classified it as
evil.
1 Samuel 15:23
For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, he hath also rejected thee from being king.
Yours in Christ,
Elmer
