Interesting, I've never heard that hypnotism went against Christianity. From my viewpoint, it's really just putting your mind into a different, less conscious state and playing with it a little. I can't quite understand how it's evil or anything. It's odd and a fascinating look at the human mind. I guess I see it from a psychological point of perspective. But thank you for asking this question and adding to my knowledge base.

Hypnotism is against the Christian belief system.

Its because of the fact after Jesus got here/died we've a clean covenant. The old testomony rules/covenant utilized to the Jews/Israelites yet then to no longer Christians. in actuality Jesus lived completely, and met each and every of the standards of the regulation- he not at all sinned. So in doing that and demise for us he ended those rules for us. We nonetheless pay interest to the final concepts yet to no longer the letter of the regulation for the main section. a minimum of that's what i've got faith, others would have diverse interpretation or be conscious of greater approximately it than I do needless to say:) i think of there are unquestionably some Christian denominations who do have faith in following the old testomony rules like no shellfish, etc nevertheless. i basically can no longer think of of the names sorry?

Without knowing your beliefs this is a difficult question to answer. As the variety of links I've listed show, may Evangelicals (and those who use "Christian" as a synonomym for "personal salvation" associate hypnosis with the occult and reject it absolutely.
But other Christians go back to ancient Hebraic teachings which allow medical use of otherwise prohibited things. Would you reject a medicine because it is alcohol-based? (Even in Prohibition medicines were allowed, and so was sacramental wine.)
The best person to answer this question for you is your clergyman.

A hypnotist is like a teacher who is telling you to do things. Basically, most people accept what others say, or they reject them. It's a level of trust in someone, whether or not they are trustworthy is a different matter. Like Jesus said, "Give to Caesar what is Caesar's and to God what belongs to God."

It's possible for anyone to be hypnotized if they BELIEVE in it and allow themselves to be hypnotized. I, though, have never been hypnotized and probably never will be because I simply do not believe in it and do not let it happen. I have too much control and psychic ability for that to happen.

I'm still going to answer: That is just a bad idea to let ANYONE have that kind of power over you, Christian or Pagan or WHATEVER.

god gave the ability to the hypnotist just like he gave doctors the ability to cure diseases, teachers the ability to teach, ministers the ability to preach, etc.
