Why do Christians believe in magic?

1st off, u ask this question like the pharisees questioned Jesus, intending Him to say something tht they could rebuke him on. you clearly want someone to go towards on or the other so you can call them out on it. 2nd, no one knows of the pharaohs magicians. Ever see 300? Xerxes had "magicians" also. but they did no more than throw black powder and absorb the oohs and aahs. SO lets get right down to it. The OT is nothing to go by considering no one writing the bible was arround the witness any of it. it was all inspired by God and can be interpretted anyway you like. Now as for simon the sorceror. Chrisitians dont believe in him per se. As a matter of fact, Chritians and Catholics in particular find him to be the SOURCE of all heresey. Some even believe him to be a Demon incarnate. so to say we believe in Magic is far from the Truth. Id love to hear all the rest of your "Magicians" since you say tht only scratches the surface. do email me and we can continue this.
