can a christian see psychics?
i understand i cannot get psychic readings and i do not do that anymore, but is it alright to go and see a famous psychic doin a show, and not get a reading, their is a famous psychic and she is doin a gig where thousands of people are going to see her,,, does anyone know any passages in the bible that prohitbits this or any info?? cause i am not getting a direct reading.. its just to watch her talk and maybe read for other people.. man i dont need stupid angry idiots telling me the bible is a book writen by man, and how im gullible for believing and never gonna have fun if i believe!! cause ive had mounts of fun but i think its time i grew up and become a better person, and the bible is the truth and nothing else.. if you dont believe fair enoguh i dont tell you to believe or insult you that you are TOO dumb to not able to see truth, so dont insult my religion and the people that believe... i am very intelligent and i know whats false and whats doesnt fit, i dotn just believe i questioned before i believed... so you people are stupid to not even aknowledge that!! i use to sin, but now i am christian i should stop, because when i was young i was naive and stupid, now i am growing up i have a few more brain cells and i have no excuse for sinning... to smliehay, i dont believe having sex whilst on the period is okay, i find it disgusting anyway... and being gay is wrong, cause being gay is a choice, and simply attention seeking or the way of the weak... look how celebrities were not gay but now turn gay... being gay is a choice!!!! STOP DENYING!!! and it says you shall not wear wool and linen mixed together. WHY!! i dont know.. 4saken its funny how all the people that claim there is no God and how people need help when they believe in the God.. and dark forces,,,, all have to have dark satanic names.... decieved by anychance... you are decieved and you are the nut,, that thinks we are nothing but animals.. there are many believers that can be proven to no tbe nuts,,, and infact actually more inteligent than you.. so go away and carry on being decieved thinking there is no God.. thank you for alot of great answers, except the non believers that come in here mocking the believers and somehow thinking they are superior to us... i found the best answer i think, not nessasery the most information, but , i read one comment saying since i have doubts i should already know its wrong. and i think im was just trying to convince myself it was alright to go.... kinda gutted but im gonna sell my ticket.. Gods more important to me

- Deuteronomy 18: 9-12.
- You are Dancing with the Devil, you are going STRAIGHT TO HELL!!!
- Uh, if you are not well versed in the bible enough to know what it says, why do you live your life by what it contains?
- Psychics are con-artists that prey on the gullible. Of course christians can see them!
- Dood just stop it. Just freakin' go to the psychic or as many physchics as you want to. You obviously enjoy it and I'm sure god understands that you enjoy it and it's not a false god, multi-theism thing. Don't worry so much and don't let people govern your life so much. I you have a relationship with Jesus that cool, but I don't think the bible mentions rules about psychics. Good luck. thanks
- No, christians cannot see them. They're invisible to christians
- "When men tell you to consult mediums and spiritists, who whisper and mutter, should not a people inquire of their God? Why consult the dead on behalf of the living?" (Isaiah 8:19)
- dude keep living your life through a book written by man, and you will die never having fun, unless the 3 hrs of church 4 times a week and no sex and no cussing during the big game is fun then good luck
- Check Leviticus. You cannot "consults a medium." Then again... Leviticus also say that you are forbidden to cut your hair, shave, wear clothes of more than one kind of fabric, have crops of more than one kind in a field, have sex with a woman on her period, or be gay. You also cannot worship god is you are blind, can't walk, or have a flat nose. It is your choice.
- Leviticus 19:31 "Do not turn to mediums or seek out spiritists, for you will be defiled by them. I am the LORD your God." Leviticus 20:6 "I will set my face against the person who turns to mediums and spiritists to prostitute himself by following them, and I will cut him off from his people." Deuteronomy 18:9-14 "When you enter the land the LORD your God is giving you, do not learn to imitate the detestable ways of the nations there. Let no one be found among you who sacrifices his son or daughter in the fire, who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft, or casts spells, or who is a medium or spiritist or who consults the dead. Anyone who does these things is detestable to the LORD, and because of these detestable practices the LORD your God will drive out those nations before you. You must be blameless before the LORD your God. The nations you will dispossess listen to those who practice sorcery or divination. But as for you, the LORD your God has not permitted you to do so." just to name a few...
- I can't answer as a christian, but as a fellow human being, I would warn you to be careful as the mind can be tricked. Hypnosis is a very powerful mind tool, and I know psychics are excellent in this practice. Religious leaders know this as well. Be watchful for "healers" as well. They are experts of the mind, and make you think a great many things to make you believe you are well, or hurt yourself!
- Obviously no. The fact that you have doubts should tell you that. Why are you playing with things God hates. If you love God, you will not go to such a thing!
- Only a complete nut thinks psychics are real... lol You go to them for entertainment value, I see no reason why being a christian would stop you from going. If you believe psychics are real, then you need to go to a psychiatrist or get medication instead.
- Yes a Christian "can", because many have. But a Christian "should" not because you are inviting dark forces a foothold in your spiritual life, which could lead to more evil in your life, and less heavenly help to protect against the Adversary and his demons. There is Scripture to this in Deuteronomy, Psalms, Revelation, Daniel, and in some of the Pauline Epistles. Even King Saul went to the Witch of Endor, but it was too late for him and God used the Witch through the spirit of Samuel, to convey this, that his reign was over, and he was going to die miserably, see the negativity of this act? God hates going for outside help, even if just for fun.
- Deuteronomy 18:9-12 Detestable Practices 9 When you enter the land the LORD your God is giving you, do not learn to imitate the detestable ways of the nations there. 10 Let no one be found among you who sacrifices his son or daughter in [a] the fire, who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft, 11 or casts spells, or who is a medium or spiritist or who consults the dead. 12 Anyone who does these things is detestable to the LORD, and because of these detestable practices the LORD your God will drive out those nations before you.
- I am a psychic, not a fortune teller. Thee is a passage in the Bible that say : God has given many gifts, to some God has give the gift of song, to some the gift of dance and to some the gift of prophecy. I can't quote it directly, this is paraphrased. If some of those who have answered this question claim to know the Bible then they can tell you where this quote is. Infact, I would challeng them to, since they know the Bible so well. It's somewhere in the later part of the old Testament, I think!.
- I think your approach should be that "you are entering dangerous territory." There is a Biblical account in which Saul ( the king) resorts to a "witch" to foretell what will happen to him (when God's prophet has already foretold the loss of his kingdom.) (He preceded David.) From the present perspective, he is putting God second. Or he is balancing his bets. God makes a fool out of him.
