Magical vs Supernatural

How is it that the church offers acceptance for "the supernatural," but discredits magic?  Influence is influence, or isn’t it. IDK.

How is Reiki or Acupuncture, or Crystal Healing therapy considered demonic, but the belief of the "laying on of hands" is acceptable?

How is reading a horoscope or predicting the future considered not of God, but the belief in the gift of the prophetic is acceptable?

So God created Heavens and Earth, then he speaks to separate Night from Day? If we truly, TRULY believe that, then why are we so quick to discredit things that aren't aligned with our beliefs? Why do we act as if it is blasphemous or a sign of disbelief to ask questions?

The one scripture says, “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” -KJV  

As with most of the Bible, the scriptures are left to interpretation based on experience of the heart (emotional) and mind (intellectual), but the church has gotten rid of the heart connection and is only focused on the literal. We should also remember that unless we are reading the original ancient biblical text (Hebrew, Aramaic, or Greek), what we read today is just interpretation, so, if it was important enough for God to put it in the hearts of men to translate instruction from ancient text into modern language, then I am comfortable in providing my own translation of the translation (or interpretation). LOL - that’s for the religious folk who may read this and ask themselves, “who does she thinks she is?” But I ask myself, how can a person have a true God-experience with no affect on the heart? But, IDK.

Back to the scripture - in my opinion this scripture is stating that we must study self by working to improve in heart and mind (alignment) to understand the things of the God/Goddess completely. If you're only studying to know the words and scriptures verbatim to spew them out at the sinner next to you, then you're missing it completely.  When it’s the real-deal is all about heart connection and experience and there is no hiding behind that, because true heart transplantation doesn’t hold space for hidden things.

So, as I reflect, God/Goddess is omnipotent (all powerful), omniscient (all knowing), and omnipresent (everywhere), and we truly, TRULY believe this, then why are we so quick to try to hide behind the things that aren’t aligned with the transliteration of the Bible?  I find it amazing that the etymology of the root word “om” is mystical and yet we are quick to throw the words around referring to God, but discredit their root meanings, for example:

“om” is a mystical word meaning an utterance of assent (consent);
“omni” means all, every, the whole, of every kind.

Another question arises, if there is no Hebrew, Aramaic, or Greek etymology of a word, does that mean it was created in order to influence the reader?

Oh, and you acknowledge you, FYI, my thoughts are just that, my thoughts, I don’t write to claim to have the answers, more so, I write because I have many questions. I recognize and have learned that many of my answers aren’t coming in the transliteration of a Bible book or possibly the words have yet to be created to formulate the answer to my questions.  Peace.

Selah.
