BUT i think it's up to each and everyone of us to discover this for ourselves. I am Christian and have faith in God, but don't doubt that he's given us a special gift of our own. I just don't agree with someone having to turn to someone else for an answer that they probably already know deep down inside. So have I now become your enemy for telling you the TRUTH?

MagiChristmas User ID: 554973 United States 08/04/2009 09:31 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Improper Channels: Astrology, Fortune-Telling, and the Occult "Magic" anciently implied something akin to sorcery, and modern definitions retain this sense as well as a host of other meanings that have accrued around the term over many years and from many cultures. On one point there is general agreement: "Magic" suggests the supernatural. Pretending to use the occult when so-called magic tricks are displayed is simply part of the entertainment. When it implies governing the forces of nature through supernatural means, however, magic takes on a markedly different character. Latter-day Saints reject magic as a serious manipulation of nature and are advised to avoid any practice that claims supernatural power apart from the priesthood and spiritual gifts of the Church (see Devils; Satanism). They are also counseled against using any fortune-telling devices. Both so-called white and black magic can be Satanic. True miracles are done by the power of Jesus Christ. Devils may be cast out, but only in humility and by fasting, faith, and prayer, and the power of the true priesthood, with no fanfare or public acclaim (cf. Matt. 17:21; D&C 84:66-73). Regarding the discernment of true spirits from evil ones, the Prophet Joseph Smith taught that without the priesthood and "a knowledge of the laws by which spirits are governed," it is impossible to discover the difference between the miracles of Moses and the magicians of the pharaoh or between those of the apostles and Simon the sorcerer (TPJS, pp. 202-206). A test of a godly spirit is to discern whether there is "any intelligence communicated" or "the purposes of God developed" (TPJS, p. 204). Ultimately, it is irrelevant to the determination of its sources to note that a so-called miracle is for the good of mankind. The Savior recognized that miracles may come from an evil source: "Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name, and in thy name have cast out devils, and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity" (Matt. 7:22-23). The Lord gave instruction to Israel that the righteous were to call upon him for revelation and to avoid magical devices and incantations that were prevalent among the other ancient nations (Isa. 8:19-20; Ex. 22:18). One danger of preoccupation with forms of magic based on the power of Satan is that it draws people away from the true source of inspiration and makes the worker of magic a servant of the adversary. The Church holds that no person need unduly fear magic or those who claim magical powers, for magic can have no power over anyone unless the person believes that it can.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 648271 United States 08/05/2009 02:13 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Truth is the "Christian" inquisitiors and witch-hunters artificially removed a great deal of the psi-genes from the population by way of their bloody slaughter conducted in the name of "god" in Europe and early America (not to mention all the Shamanic cultures they have destroyed) resulting in a psychically disempowered populace who don't have an effective capacity to engage the Atlantean Sorcerors/"Black" Druids who are at the highest levels of the "pyramid".

Irdoomed User ID: 742831 Australia 08/05/2009 07:28 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Sorry, I didn't read the whole article. I'm sure it's a good article, but my interpretation is that most psychics use at best a form of psychology that revolves around reading someone's body language and vague suggestions that could result in multiple answers to lure their customer into handing over a sum of money. Bible quotes to prove your point = Fail Quoting: Anonymous Coward 341282If you were doing a thesis on philsophy from a Christiah perspective, then Bible quotes would be a requirement. Likewise if you wanted to do an essay or report on comparative religions for a psychology degree, then Bible quotes would be either expected or recommended. What better way to study group psychology than by using a subculture that is both friendly and honest about their motivations? On top of that there's a good chance you'll get coffee and a few biscuits thrown into the deal! Holy cow, woowoo patrol must be facing a severe woowoo shortage! |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 545571 United States 08/05/2009 07:41 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I dont think that anyone would be given a gift like that if it wasnt supposed to be used. God didnt write the bible men did. They put those passages in there to instill fear into men/women. I am a tarot reader and I am also on the path to be a spiritual person. I feel that I receive messages from the universe all the time and so does everyone else they are just not paying attention. Churches claim these things that its evil or whatever it is they claim just to scare us. Honestly they need to take a look in the mirror. They are telling you stay away from this so you depend on them(churches)meanwhile I dont know if you are paying attention to the religions of the world and thier issues. I know there are good churches with good ppl in them but just because someone does any form of the occult does not mean they are bad or evil. Thats actually the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. Are churches afraid to let you think for yourself. Do you really need a pastor to tell you whats right and wrong. And besides most of my customers claim they are church goers and how they arent supposed to do this type of thing but they do anyway. This is just my opinion on this subject and we are all entitled to our own opinion and if it is a "sin" to try and be a more spiritual person vs a church person I will take my chances. |

justonewishplease User ID: 742841 United States 08/05/2009 08:10 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I have no problems with Christians, but I do have a problem with Christians who point fingers at other groups and declare them evil. Check your own history. Be brave, go back and really see how your religion started. You probably practice more pagan rituals that I do. I treat mine as a natural gift from a Higher Power. I don't pretend to know everything about this Higher Power, because can only rely on what I feel, and perhaps I may read things that I feel as truth and agree, but I'm okay with that. I even refer often to this higher power as "God" b/c its so much easier to put a name to it but in the same sense, I'm not stuck on that name.... if that makes sense. I have respect for all religions, but no respect for any religion "person" or representative who points their fingers and declares others evil or wrong. Get over yourself.... |

Ultimate Reality is, after all, subjective in nature... all else is conjecture based upon second-hand experience. I am moving mountains, I am also destroying the world's most powerful sorcerers and such by the Word of the Living God. Maybe that is why the occult elite are afraid of the Bible, They fear what a person like me can do to them and can learn the secrets that were inspired by God Himself on how to destroy all inferior forms of what is known as magick. Black Druids are as dog doo doo under my shoe, the same with "The Mothers of Darkness" witches and all the wicked Nephilim Kingdoms of "The Beast". Their destiny is to be destroyed by me. Their Queen recognized this, yet it does not stop them from coming against me and fulfilling their destiny. I think that it is funny. |

That is true, however the Church is being over run by Generational Satanist who are infiltrating every part of Church leadership just as it was prophesied in Matthew 13:35-42. When Satan has taken over the leadership in a Church, then that kind of manipulation can be seen quite often. It is time to "Come out of her my people..." |

People know what they are paying for and dont you think that person time is worth something? Thank you ! I agree, all "industries" have crooks, from churches to psychic lines. This goes back to the person seeking help being discerning enough to know the difference. I have two choices. I can work as a psychic which I was very much led to do by circumstances that I will call very synchronistic ... or I can go flip burgers. Either way I'm going to be using my energy b/c both require energy in different ways. Psychic work is very draining and one gets burned out easily b/c happy people usually aren't seeking help. Makes me wonder if the same applies to churches and those paying tithes possibly hoping they are may be "buying" some good fortune? Even when consciously they will say they are simply doing what God tells them too. I have often heard them say, even my own sister, that she feels if she dosen't pay tithes she will be punished. See what I mean? Does that make sense at all? Anyway, I choose to work as a psychic. I make about as much as someone does at McD's all year. I could make more but I don't aim to burn myself out or stretch it beyond the point I know I can give my best. I promise you churches are able to deceive and steal far easier.. if they choose. Not all are guilty, but to tell the truth, even though I have to choose whether to work as a psychic or flip burgers .. if money were not a necessary evil, I would do it for free and yes, I would still do it when I felt called to. And again, before people put down psychics by comparing against the bible, do you people never ever really try to figure out where the bible "stories" are derived from? I have no problem if you want to blindly follow, but damn, you can't seem to help but want to point your fingers at others and damn them to hell.. Okay I'm done with my beeching about this. It's like talking to brick walls anyway :-) Everyone wants to be right... if you want to get as close to right as you can, at least learn to listen to your inner voice and guidance. First. Then you are at least on the right track, whether you choose to be Christian, Muslim or atheist, Druid, whatever.. |
