comment Are there any other books, divined by God, regarding Christianity?
This may bring my follow up question, how is it known that these books are "divine"?

comment Does an understanding of how the Bible was written, play a strong role in any Christian sect?
@Drew It did. Thanks. I was just waiting to see if there would be other responses.

comment Which Christian sects promote faith healing?
Thanks for the clarification. It sounds like you're expressing a bias however. "They may believe that God can and does grant healing and our faith plays a role in that, but the idea that's probably in your head from TV evangelists" Shouldn't we assume that the "idea" is real for the followers and not from TV evangelists?

comment If Christianity speaks out against the use of “magic” does this mean “magic” is literally real?
@MasonWheeler "It's not magic to you because you know how it works. But 2000 years ago, it would have been magic to everyone." Couldn't the same be said about the origin of the species?

@MasonWheeler I work in the technology field so no, it doesn't sound magical... However, thanks for being honest and saying you don't know if such "power" actually exists. Does this mean you doubt the claim of existence as according to the bible?

"to use supernatural means to acquire power". If that's how it's defined, is there any proof for the existence of magic according to your definition?

Help me understand, from your interpretation, "magic" is just the pursuit of power and nothing more?

comment Is there a christian perspective on the matter of “delusion”?
I think this brings up the question of whether someone who makes any religious claims is ever capable of being "delusional". Unfortunately since the DSM gives religious exemption, it puts professionals in a position where they are not allowed to ever call any religious claim as a sign of deluded, irrationality. I believe this poses serious consequences to any semblance of rational, theistic belief (if there is any) because we can not (or are not allowed to) separate them from the irrational theists.
