Scripture explicitly forbids witchcraft, sorcery, and divination (Deuteronomy 18:10-12, Galatians 5:19-21). These are considered antithetical to faith in God. The Bible itself is not a tool for manipulation or occult rituals. Its purpose is to guide believers toward truth, worship, and ethical living (2 Timothy 3:16-17).
Some pastors in BPC are practicing syncretism (e.g., seeing Bible perfection like the Quran, and using Scripture in charms or rituals). Muslims believe the Quran is the literal, uncreated word of God (Allah), revealed verbatim to Muhammad through the Angel Jibril (Gabriel). It is considered perfectly preserved, both in content and language (Classical Arabic), with no human alteration. This belief is rooted in the Quran itself (e.g., Surah 15:9) and Islamic tradition, which emphasizes memorization and meticulous transmission.
This kind of syncretism can lead to confusion and requires discernment. Furthermore, these pastors involved in manipulative, superstitious, or self-serving practices. They focus on asserting personal control. Their practices distort Bible's meaning.
Some of them are using the Bible to instill fear, manipulate followers constitutes abuse of spiritual authority. They don't fostering Christlike love (1 Corinthians 13) but promoting fear/secrecy among the members.
We need to consult trusted spiritual leaders or denominational authorities to evaluate doctrinal soundness. The congregation is being harmed, we need to escalate concerns to church elders or external oversight bodies.
These pastor’s actions are indeed occultic and abusive, so swift, loving correction is essential to protect the integrity of the faith and the congregation in BP circle.
