The Bible warns against practices that involve sorcery, divination, and occultism, which are considered abominable to God. In Exodus and Leviticus, God prohibits the Israelites from engaging with mediums and sorcerers, emphasizing the importance of separating themselves from such evil practices. The book of Revelation also condemns those who practice sorcery, listing them among those who will be excluded from eternal life. Similarly, Ephesians urges believers to expose and have no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, while Leviticus specifically prohibits seeking out spirits and interpreting omens, highlighting God's desire for His people to trust in Him alone.

The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity, and debauchery; idolatry and sorcery; hatred, discord, jealousy, and rage; rivalries, divisions, factions, and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like.
