What do you think of mediums?

Answer 1

They are very skilled and hopefully we'll have one assigned to each police department to help solve crimes and find missing people soon. THe talent involves use/paths in your right brain lobe. You have to learn to be totally empathic toward others to achieve their level of skill.

Answer 2

I think this is quite a good question, as from personal experience i know that there is something after death.
I think a lot of people rabbit on about what religion says and all that stuff but lots of people have different religions so who is to say who is right and who is wrong about things.
As for mediums yes i do believe that there are a lot of fakes out there just like anything else.
But i also know that there are real ones i have great faith in David Wells I have never contacted or met the man, but i know that he is a good man not evil and that what he says i believe to be true.
And i am sure that there are a lot more out there.

Answer 3

Speaking from the view point of someone who does communicate with the dead i think most mediums are rubbish, and people shouldnt give there money away but as a medium the only thing they are supposed to give you is evidence of life after death which is a good thing because if people thought there was no life after death or judgement day the world might be a much worse place than it already is.

Answer 4

The attitude of the Bible toward divination is on the whole distinctly hostile and is fairly represented by Deu_18:10 f, where the prophet of Yahweh is contrasted with diviners of all kinds as the only authorized medium of supernatural revelation. Yet note the following:
(1) Balaam (Nu 22 through 24) was a heathen diviner whose words of blessing and of cursing were believed to have magical force, and when his services are enlisted in the cause of Yahwism, so that, instead of cursing he blessed Israel, there is not a syllable of disapproval in the narrative.
(2) In Isa_3:2 diviners are ranked with judges, warriors and prophets as pillars of the state. They are associated with prophets and seers in Jer_27:9; Jer_29:8; Eze_22:28 (compare Eze_13:6-9; Eze_12:24). It is true that the prophets and diviners mentioned in these passages use utter falsehoods, saying peace where there is none; all the same the men called prophets and diviners are classed together as similar functionaries.
Pure Yahwism in its very basal principle is and must ever have been antagonistic to divination of every kind, though inspirational divination has resemblances to prophetism and even affinities with it. Why then does the Bible appear to speak with two voices, generally prohibiting but at times countenancing various forms of divination? In the actual religion of the Old Testament we have a syncretism in which, though Yahwism forms the substructure, there are constituents from the religions of the native aborigines and the nations around. The underlying thought in all forms of divination is that by employing certain means men are able to obtain knowledge otherwise beyond their reach. The religion of Israel made Yahweh the source of that knowledge and the prophet the medium through which it came to men. We have an analogous example of syncretism resulting in the union of opposite elements in ancient Zarathustraism (Zoroastrianism) which, though in its central principle inconsistent with divination by omens, yet took on from the native Turanian cults of Persia certain forms of divination, especially that by lot (see Lenormant, La Divination, 22ff). Nor should it be forgotten that the Bible is a library and not a book, and where so many writers, living at widely separated times, have been at work it is natural to look for diversity of teaching, though no one can deny that in fundamental matters Bible authors are wonderfully consistent.

Answer 5

Don't get involved. The Bible warns against it. Get help from the Bible. There is tremendous hope in Christ. Trust Jesus with your life. Check out the medium thing from God's point of view:

Answer 6

I think most of them insult the integrity of the dead. My grandfather would be able to communicate more than a letter or a fragment of a thought.

If they are talking to the dead, why do they have to ask so many questions? I would think the dead could answer them.

I'm almost certain there are some people who can communicate with the dead. I think they are VERY few and far between. And none of them are on television.

Answer 7

Its all rubbish,my sister went to see one and the medium said that our mother had a problem with her legs, my mother has been dead for 25 years.

True mediums are led by demonic spirits who transform into angels of light thus deceiving them. It is not of God.
