Ventriloquism is witchcraft

Black magic books teach the dark art of ventriloquism, and this is what the Bible says we should do with all curious arts – magic – books. Acts 19:18-19: And many that believed came, and confessed, and shewed their deeds. Many of them also which used curious arts brought their books together, and burned them before all men: and they counted the price of them, and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver. The Greek word for ‘curious’ in Acts 19:19 is “periergos, per-ee’-er-gos; …magic”. Black magic is at the root of ventriloquism. (Yes, even so-called Christian ventriloquism!) Many people who practice ventriloquism will tell you they did not learn this dark art from any book; or even another person. They will tell you it just seemed they had a natural ability to do it. What they do not realize is they have spiritually received their ability under direction from evil spirits. The reason they have the ability to do it is because some members of their family, or their generations past, have practiced the abomination of black magic. Even for a Christian, when they them self are practicing ventriloquism they are re-connecting with generations past. What they believe to be their natural gift is really a generational re-connection and visitation from the dark spirits of witchcraft. Christian or not, a person’s own participation is the re-connection these evil spirits needed. In scripture any form of witchcraft or communication with familiar spirits is forbidden. Saul even died for asking counsel from one who had a familiar spirit (OR WHAT THE HEBREW CALLS A VENTRILOQUIST). I Samuel 28:7: Then said Saul unto his servants, Seek me a woman that hath a familiar spirit, that I may go to her, and inquire of her. And his servants said to him, Behold, there is a woman that hath a familiar spirit at Endor. I Chronicles 10:13: So Saul dies for his transgression which he committed against the Lord, even against the word of the Lord, which he kept not, and also for asking counsel of one that had a familiar spirit, to enquire of it; And enquired not of the Lord: therefore he slew him, and turned the kingdom unto David the son of Jesse. Also see Deuteronomy 18:10-11 and Isaiah 8:19. Note: The Hebrew word for ‘spirit’ in I Samuel 28:7 and I Chronicles 10:13 is “owb, obe; …a mumble …skin (from its hollow sound); hence, a necromancer (ventriloquist, as speaking from a jar)… bottle… familiar spirit”. Owb, obe is also the same Hebrew word for ‘spirit’ in Isaiah 29:4: And thou shalt be brought down, and shalt speak out of the ground, and thy speech shall be low out of the dust, and thy voice shall be, as of one that hath a familiar spirit, out of the ground, and thy speech shall whisper out of the dust. This particular scripture in Isaiah 29 most accurately describes the voice of ventriloquism!
I ask this question: Since God’s Own Word tells us as Christians not to have anything to do with witchcraft would this permit us to practice, watch, or be entertained by witchcraft? The answer is no! Deuteronomy 18:9-12: When thou art come into the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations. There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, and that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch. Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer. For all that do these things are an abomination unto the Lord: and because of these abominations the Lord thy God doth drive them out from before thee. Isaiah 8:19: And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? for the living to the dead. Isaiah 8:19 New Living Translation reads: So why are you trying to find out the future by consulting mediums and psychics? Do not listen to their whisperings and mutterings. Can the living find out the future from the dead? Why not ask your God? No matter how you label it, witchcraft is witchcraft. Being a Christian does not exempt us from the evil affects witchcraft brings into a person’s life. Why do you think God warns His own people not to have anything to do with witchcraft? Many Christians do not even know what witchcraft is, mainly because many do not know the truth of God’s Word. Many Christians are bringing the evil magic of witchcraft into their homes, and also into the church. They do not even know there is really no such thing as a Christian ventriloquist. Magic and witchcraft is a dark art – and included in this dark art is the practice of ventriloquism! The inspiration behind ventriloquism is an evil familiar spirit. It is an evil spirit that is familiar with your family history, and this evil spirit knows that someone in your family history has practiced the darkness of ventriloquism. The Hebrew word for ‘spirit’ in I Samuel 28:7 and I Chronicles 10:13 is “owb, obe; …a mumble …skin (from its hollow sound); hence, a necromancer (ventriloquist, as speaking from a jar)… bottle… familiar spirit”.
