I got this from the above weblink:

The Bible has a magical procedure to find out if a woman has been defiled:

And when he hath made her to drink the water, then it shall come to pass, that, if she be defiled, and have done trespass against her husband, that the water that causeth the curse shall enter into her, and become bitter, and her belly shall swell, and her thigh shall rot. Numbers 5:27

This isn't "a magical procedure", it's an Old Testament method for determining innocence or guilt

So what's the deal with your postings? You've shifted from an obsession with unexpected nudity to seemingly ongoing attempts to blur Christianity and occultism.

Why do they call it a curse then?

Serious question, do you know the difference between what God does and what magic is?

Among other things, there is a difference between calling something a curse and casting a curse.

But in any event, keep in mind that curses are like the birds Noah released from the Ark, if they can't find a place to land they return to the one that loosed them, this means that casting a curse on someone that doesn't deserve it will have no effect on him and it will end up landing on the one that did the cursing in the first place.

Avoid curses, don't cast them on others and live in a manner that you don't deserve one that is cast on you.

The Bible has a magical procedure to find out if a woman has been defiled:

First, the form of that command has been done away with by Jesus' death on the cross, because it is the national law of Israel.
Second, the ceremony wasn't "magical" at all, because God used it to determine the guilt or innocence of the woman.
Third, the principle of that action by the priest is the seventh commandment, which protects marriage against any sexual actions outside of it.
