Why do some Christians get involved with the occult by consulting psychics who claim to be "Christian"?
I've heard that such psychics as: John Edward, Char Margolis, and Sylvian Browne claim to be Christian, some even claiming that their gift comes from the Holy Spirit working through them.
Don't all Christians realize that even the demons aren't above using God's name, or even Scripture, to trap the unweary--even believers? In fact, in Acts 16: 16-18, we find the Apostle Paul exorcising a demon from a girl who was following him around proclaiming him to be a messenger of God. The demons were making her say these things, even if what she was saying was true.
Why, then, are some so clueless, and why do some use such spiritistic avenues, that are so expressedly forbidden in God's word??? Furthermore, why do some subscribe to "New Ageism" and other belief systems that are rooted in the occult and are completely incompatible with the Gospel according to Scripture?
