I was going to quote people but my skills at grabbing peoples words are poor, I could get one but I lose the other, but it was mentioned a couple of times that all good things come from God, and someone else mentioned personal feelings, but from a scripture reference (and I use KJV) in both Matthew 7:16-20, and in The Book of Mormon 3 Nephi 14:16-20 That you shall know them by their fruit, that every good tree brings forth good fruit but that a corrupt tree brings forth bad fruit. That a bad tree cannot bring good fruit or a good tree bad fruit.
For me, it doesn't matter what you call it magic or miracle, if you are using it to hurt people, its wrong, if you are using it to help people, its right.
God loves us, and he wants us to be like him, we are each given gifts and how we use them is up to us.
on a side note, I do not like the modern re-translations. They don't feel like they have the same quality. some of the words used in the KJV lose their substance when you take them into the modern vernacular. its like saying truth instead of veracity. they are basically the same, but veracity has a deeper implication. every time the scriptures are translated, something changes.
