How Balaam Became a Witch
Studying some Bible characters will help us to avoid their mistakes and the traps into which they fell. Cain, Esau, Samson and Saul and others all made foolish and tragic mistakes.

Jewelry and Other Occult Traps

Under the Mosaic law, the vows and promises of dependents such as children, unmarried daughters and wives were void, except when ratified by the express of tacit consent of the father or husband.
