Alternative Therapies and the Occult
Biblical View Point


The clearest way to show people how God feels about alternative medical practices is to show them from the Word of God. We must answer their questions by examining what the Bible say about pseudo-medical interventions that are nothing more than a veneer used to cover the use of the occult practices in healing . Lets take a look at what the Bible says:


1. Scripture declares that the only spirit that Christians are to have contact with is the Spirit of God.

2. The Bible indicates there are a host of spiritual forces, (fallen angels or demons) that work to keep this world under Satanic influence (eg. Eph. 6:11-12, 1 Cor. 10:19-20; 1 John 5:19) In the Old Testament there are many examples of false prophets performing the miraculous (Ex. 12 Then Pharaoh also called the wise men and the sorcerers: now the magicians of Egypt, they also did in like manner with their enchantments.)


3. Such practices were an abomination to God and practitioners were to be put to death ( Deut. 13:5-13).


4. Energy or what is described as bio-energy is not a pseudo-natural energy, electromagnetic energy, a mystical form of energy encased in the body and it is not energy (dunamis), the power of God. All energetic phenomena without scientific explanation are supernatural, occultic energies. The Hindus call in prana; Hawaiians, mana; Chinese, Chi; and Christian Science Mesmer. ( 2. Thess. 2:7-9 “Even of him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,”).
