I: "You shall not steal." (Exodus 20:15). Fernando, you
are not a Christian!
A: Since when telling people the truth is stealing? If it was stealing it would be illegal, and it isn’t. So lets not made up definitions. Facts and ideas are not personal properties. Is like saying all science teachers are thieves for showing science discoveries from other people. When you sell a trick, you are giving it away at the desired price, if you want to keep it to yourself to fool people, is up to you; so as it is up to me to educate them. It is my own right to express it or keep it, even more, when you willingly gave that away at a price point.
But since you are using scriptures, let's read the rest:
(Ephesians 5:11-12): And have no fellowship with the
unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them.
For it is shameful even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret.
(Ephesians 4:25): Therefore, putting away lying, “Let each
one of you speak truth with his neighbor,” for we are
members of one another.
(Matthew 23:27-28): Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees,
hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs which
indeed appear beautiful outwardly, but inside are full
of dead men’s bones and all uncleanness. Even so you
also outwardly appear righteous to men, but inside you
are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.
Keep this in mind:
(1 Corinthians 13:4-7): Love suffers long and is kind; love
does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up;
does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not
provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but
rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things,
hopes all things, endures all things.
He who does not love does not know God, for God is love
(1 John 4:8). God is love but He is also righteous (Ezra 9:15),
(Psalm 116:5), (Romans 7:12), etc. As for some claim to be
a contradiction, in reality, is a complementation; by the fact
that when you love, doesn't mean you can't be righteous.
I do what I can to give the proper credits since I have
no fellowship with magicians at all (even though is not my obligation to do so).
