I was told the physic mediums basically do the devils work and was given 2 quotes out of the bible from the book of colossians. But Ive gone to a physic....and of course i dont feel this way at all. I hope the god I believe in is not as judgemental as our society has become. They say they are said to be false profits and are lead by the dark angles...physic mediums do the devils work. I want to beable to defend my reasoning and have not been able to find any information regarding my point of view except those who like to preach that this is dangerious territory and that god will condem me.

People who allow their religions to lead them around by the nose always think everything that challenges their world-view is of the devil or whatever their "enemy" is called.
Why would you worship a god who would "condemn" you for curiosity?

Jesus expelled demons from people, as did his disciples. (Mark 1:34; Acts 16:18) These spirits are not dead ancestors, for the dead are "conscious of nothing at all." (Ecclesiastes 9:5) Rather, they are the rebellious angels who were misled by Satan. Contacting them or submitting to their influence is not to be taken lightly, for they, just like their leader, Satan the Devil, would like to devour us. (1 Peter 5:8) Their goal is to turn us away from the only hope for mankind—the Kingdom of God.
The Bible reveals one of the methods used by Satan and his demons: "Satan himself keeps transforming himself into an angel of light." (2 Corinthians 11:14) Satan would like to lull us into believing that he can offer us a better way of life. Hence, some temporary benefits may seem to come through the intervention of wicked spirits. But they can offer no lasting solutions. (2 Peter 2:4) They cannot possibly bestow eternal life on anyone, and they are soon to be destroyed. (Romans 16:20) Our Creator is the only source of eternal life and true happiness and the best possible protection against wicked spirit forces.—James 4:7.
God condemns seeking help through spiritistic practices. (Deuteronomy 18:10-12; 2 Kings 21:6) That is flirting with the enemy, forming an alliance with God's betrayers! Consulting a horoscope, inquiring of a tribal medicine man, or dabbling in any superstitious practice would mean allowing the wicked spirits to control the decisions you make in your life. It is tantamount to joining in their rebellion against God.

I do not believe they dabble with evil spirits nor do I subscribe to the idea that they are doing the devils work. There were prophets in the bible, God talked to them and they passed on the information. They are revered yet people that have those same experiences today are considered delusional satanist.

Spirits that empower psychics are called spirits of divination. They have limited powers to tell the future. They are however evil spirits and when you visit psychics you are encouraging the devil to take up residence in your life, it will be a downward spiral and you will be in constant need of a psychic.
Read the book of Acts chapter 16, it basically tells of the apostle Paul being hounded by a soothsayer(psychic) and eventually he cast the spirit out of her and she could no longer tell the future. You are playing with forces you do not understand. The Bible tell us that we are not battling against flesh and blood but against spiritual wickedness in high places. Please don't become entrapped by this.

No, you will not go to hell if you see a psychic or medium. You may (besides eternal flames as described in the Bible, hell is also eternal separation from God) if you follow their counsel, which IS demonically inspired. I don't wish to sound mean, but what happens to you after you die is not determined by how you feel (e.g., When you have to go to the hospital for surgery and you're in so much pain you feel like you're going to die, and obviously you don't, your feeling wasn't very accurate.), but Who you trust, God or the devil.

God cannot condemn you. He is you.
The world was judged at the cross, and all were deemed unworthy so that all could be imputed with grace.
There is no way to sin, and no way to change what has been done. Our choice or actions are not involved in the decision made between 2 unmoveable forces - God and Jesus.

Going to a psychic is fine. Just be sure to watch out for fakes. We all have psychic ability, though some are better than others.
All psychics that I know, pray and practice white light cleansing methods before they give you a reading.

We are not to engage in such things. However, whether or not you go to hell has nothing to do with it. It has to do with whether or not your name is written in the Lamb's Book of Life... period!
You get your name put there when you accept Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior. Once that is taken care of, you will have no need for psychics.

mediums do not converse with the devil. being a medium is a gift. we all have it, we all have the ability to tap into it. the vale has been lifted and we have just forgotten how. there are people that have access to that ability. they have tapped into it. this is a gift, and i highly doubt that a gift like that is going to come from the source of all evil.
