Exodus 7:10-13 shows that God's power is greater than that of men's. It doesn't specifically condemn it. I'll get in this conversation when I have a better keyboard.

God's power is not magic. Its greater than that. End of story. BTW that is not men's power

Okay... so here is the definition of magic...
Magic | ˈmajik |
Noun
The power of apparently influencing the course of events by using mysterious or supernatural forces:

So, if you will, you could call God's power magic, because magic has a wider range than that of just witchcraft. All magic really means is supernatural power.
So if in real life, someone conjures up power, they have done it from interacting with demons. I know of a very, not only logical, but smart creationist who has seen supernatural events in third world countries because of people playing with demons and whatnot. That, is evil.
But, if in real life, someone is given supernatural power, such as Paul or Peter in the Bible, that is not evil. It is God working through ordinary men to show His power.
Now in a story, it depends on the world you're in and the context. If there is a fictional world where power or, magic, is normal and not the result of evil witchcraft, then that's fine, it's not men trying to be God or playing with demons. However, if there are some who play with demons or witchcraft, it depends on how it is presented. Are their actions presented as evil?

Really, it's okay to have different opinions. I don't use the term magic to define God's power, because most people don't think of magic by the definition, but if we go by the definition God's power can be called magic.

Yeah it is. (To differing opinions. As long as those opinions are both biblical) I'm going to go on enjoying writing and watching stuff with magic, and you don't have to. We cool.

bruh did u even read what I said. Were all in the same car but you all ain't catching my drift. I'm done. All I'm trying to say is that God's power can't be measured or described by words. Its wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy more than that

It can't be measured, but you literally just described it using words. 😉

you did the same thing by calling it magic and saying that it can't be measured is not describing it

You can describe something without measuring it - and I didn't call it magic, per se.
For example, "the building was incredibly tall". Note how I didn't give you any measurement, per se, but I did give you an attribute.
And another thing:
"God's power is not able to be described using words" is a self-defeating argument, just like the statement "there is no absolute truth".
"There is no absolute truth" has to be absolute to be true, and if it isn't then you can't hold to that belief. Likewise "God's power isn't able to be described using words" gives it an attribute (can't be described using words) while claiming you can't give it any attributes (describing it).

Hate to be that kind of guy, but you did commit a logical fallacy just then. Instead of responding to my point, you committed an ad hominem attack - casting doubt on me so that you don't have to defend your position. (That and/or a red herring fallacy by bringing up something else that isn't related to the response.)

EDIT:
As a note, I am not attacking you personally. I merely enjoy theological/philosophical/logical discussion, as it helps clarify what both I and you believe. In pointing out logical fallacies, I want to help you better understand your argument.

Do you think that I am incapable of understanding what I argue about?

Know what don't even respond

@BrogamezT18: From my interpretation, he just said that you committed a logical fallacy. So in a way, no, it doesn't seem like you can properly argue your side. (Not trying to be offensive).

Revan: I make sure I understand what I am arguing about so by my standards and study, your statement is false

Right, so because you're automatically right, I'm automatically wrong? And that's a run-on sentence.

Exodus 22:18 "suffer not a witch to live.

but i will not argue.

Revan: Don't put words in my mouth

How else am I supposed to interpret your messages? And it's still a run-on sentence.
@Yiz: True, but don't forget about cultural context.

@BroGamezT18, I didn't make this forum to argue, please take it somewhere else if you really need to finish this. The forum is for Ninjago and not for arguing!

I am not arguing sir its a discussion with terms called arguing with due respect
