Bible reading Commandment

Commandment Two: Remember that the Bible isn’t magic.

The words of the Bible are not like talismans or incantations.
You cannot flop the book open and expect to see answers to your particular problem. That is what the I-Ching is supposed to do, not the Bible.
The Bible never claims to be magic. It never claims to be supernatural or mystical. The Bible does not bring havoc on people who throw it away or bring luck to people who keep it by the bedside. It is not a lucky charm or a potion. The Bible is not a book of charms and magic formulas.
There have been many superstitions taught about the Bible and none of them are true. The Bible is a collection of books, not a magic book of power or any such thing.
