Hoo-yeah, Black just got a philistine magician. So broken.
Quote from: Iamalittleking on December 19, 2012, 07:14:07 PMso are we saying that the wise men that came to see Jesus are magicians to. Just because some one is smart and is falsely used to interpret dreams does not mean you are a magician. Unless i have misunderstanding of how redemption defines a magician i do not see how they could be one.Nope. Magicians can be shortened to Magi. The Wise men who visited Jesus are also called, "The Magi." Wise men >> Magi >> Magician. Magicians where just smart people who had degrees in possibly every field you could imagine ("magi" is also found in "imagine", but that has nothing to do with this). The Wise men from the east studied the book of Isaiah over and over again and found clues in the book of Isaiah so they followed the Star of David (there's the astronomy) to find Jesus.

Magicians can be shortened to Magi.By this logic, King Asa is a magician since Asa can be short for Ásatrú. It would seem to me that Pharaoh (or any other ruler) that wasn't getting answers from his diviners would seek the counsel of the smart people in the realm. This would include inventors and mathematicians. The fact that a^2+b^2=c^2 in a right triangle has nothing to do with pagan beliefs. Likewise, making logical deductions based on limited information (because the ruler said to) does not indicate pagan rituals, but rather a logical desire to not lose one's head by refusing to answer the ruler's questions.That's not what I was saying. I was just saying their smart people. The dictionary also goes on to say they use supernatural powers. And assuming the writers of the Dictionary (the dictionary website), powers from God are supernatural. And technically speaking, Godly powers are super natural because its a contraction, "Super" basically meaning, "Miraculous" almost; and natural meaning what we can do within our physical capability's. Super natural just means, "Superior from our capability's." and the Magi are just that, as well as the Egyptian wise men, just from two totally different sides of the spectrum.

The fact that a^2+b^2=c^2 in a right triangle...
