May I ask why Christians find this evil?

Question

In this question: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;... some of you concured that mediums and sensitives are evil and they are tied into witchcraft. So are they born evil? I was born able to see (sensitive, NOT psychic), I didn't ask for it. I still beleive in God, but am I'm evil by default by your beleifs because I can see and sense things that you cannot? How do you figure that?

MsRay, I never said I felt it was a curse. I know no other way of being. It would be like losing my physical sense of hearing or taste to lose my other senses. I am sorry you cannot understand.

Answer 1

No, you are not evil due to this. We are all evil but saved by the blood of the lamb. Praise Jesus!

I am a Christian and have the same thing. I think that it depends on who you give the glory to when things happen. I have had dreams that have come true and this is how I handle them. In the past I have had dreams where someone was hurt and the dream came to pass. I learned to pray when I have these dreams that it will not come to pass. I am unsure why I have these dreams but I figure if God is in it then prayer will help. If he is not in it and it is not from him then pray he takes these dreams away.

Seems maybe Satan in our dreams could want to tell us what harm he wants to do huh? So we must use this gift and though I believe it is from God we must not allow the devil to interfer. He will try to take what is of God and use it for himself to twist and turn and cause mischief.

Anyways, the senses you have are there due to God, It is a gift but just keep in mind that you are to use it all to God's glory. He gets the credit and a big thanks when they turn out well.

I find if they do not prophecy of him and glorify him then I tend to pray them away.

The scripture where most christians get the idea of it being evil is due to the soothsayers listed for one. They went to them INSTEAD of God and of course the soothsayers claimed the magic for themselves and used it just so they could awe the masses and mislead them away from God. Also when Saul went and woke the prophet Samuel from the dead and disturbed his peace through the soothsayer He was struck down dead in battle the next day due to it. For one thing he disturbed the dead man's sleep and for another he did not ask God instead.
Listed below is the site where you can read of Saul awakening Samuel.

Remember though that all gifts that are of God will glorify God. If you belong to Jesus then these gifts should be used in his Name with all glory belonging to him.
Pray about this.

Actually there are people Christian or not that are ultra sensitive to the spirit world. I am, whenever I encounter a car accident anywhere I can tell whether or not some one has died. It's not a great feeling. I know when there are angels around and I can interpret some dreams. I know when people are goign to call me and I have even forseen one of my car accidents in a dream. The instant it happened I knew my dream had come true, and then it became a nightmare. I am a Christian and I know there is a spirit world and there are good and evil spirits, and I have no problem with mediums helping ot find bodies and solve murder cases. Heck I even believe that my best friend who died tried to comfort me in my dreams while I was married to an abusive husband.

For christians that say this is evil, and fromt he devil, what about the prophets? They can forsee the future, and there are modern day prophets, how do you know that they don't have these same feelings and premonitions, I ahve always had these feelings since I was little.

Answer 3

Any conection with the occult, "seeing", divining spirits, otherwise contacting spirtits, is a connection with evil. any form of witchcraft is connected with evil. Evil is any act against The Word and Will of God.

At some point in your life you were in contact with evil. whether by your own action or by atack of evil forces. Those forces are using you. what you have is not a gift, it is a curse. If you willingly now use the abilities you have, because of the connection to evil, then you are willingly evil.
You may still be able to Repent of this and come to God as He prescribes.... If you have not willingly accepted and taught that the abilities you seem to have are from God.

Answer 4

Don't inform any person that they're going to lose religion due to the fact that they are saying no for your query. Thats crap guy! Honesty, if unwilling to allow it occur, and asking God to come back into your lifestyles already (which means God is in you, so evil can not be compelled on you) no, a dismal witch can not placed a spell on you. lol. however I definite do not see darkish witches going for walks round day-to-day. And is that this a dismal witch in comparison to a gentle witch?? Cuz a witch is a witch within the truly phrase.

Answer 5

We are ALL born evil according to the Bible. We have to make a choice to follow Jesus. You're not just evil because of what you do, it's a natural state for all of us. The Bible states that witchcraft is of the devil and psychics and all that. That is why we find it to be evil. As for your gift, God gives gifts to everyone, but we choose how to use them. Maybe He has given you a prophetic gift or discernment. If you use it to glorify Him, it's all good, there is nothing evil about it. But if you use it to glorify yourself and make money, that's bad.

Romans 11:29
for God's gifts and his call are irrevocable.

Deuteronomy 18:10
Let no one be found among you who sacrifices his son or daughter in [ Or who makes his son or daughter pass through ] the fire, who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft,

I hope this makes sense.

Answer 6

Christianity has always been against free thinking women. From the Salem Witch Trials, the Spanish Inquisition, even in Genesis itself women are constantly told that they are to be quiet and subservient. An outspoken woman has no place in Christianity. They are taught to fear things they do not understand, or anything that is not explicitly labeled as good in the Bible. The Bible has been changed several times through out history as well to minimize the rolls of thinking women, and maximize the persecution.

Answer 7

If a Christian finds something "evil" and has nothing in the Bible to back up their belief, then they are wrong. However, if a Christian believes something is wrong because of what the Bible says, then it's really not their belief, it's God's belief. I wasn't able to follow the URL to your question, so I'm not exactly sure what was said, but the Bible does speak against people "having familiar spirits." (mediums etc.)

Answer 8

I am sensative to the spirits as well.
Most christians think are afraisd of what they do not understand, and when some one holds that much fear, the human charactoristic is to condem it.



Some of them we will never be able to open their eyes, but Not ALl christains thinl we're evil. One even asked me if my gift brought me closer to God, and it doesn't. But it was nice to see that they were trying to understand me in the very least.

Answer 9

I do not believe that because you can see and sense things that others cannot that you are evil, you have a gift, if you used your gift for evil things then you would be evil.

Think of the differences between Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader, both are gifted, yet, one was with the dark side and one was not.

Answer 10

It's not evil...it's against the word of God...Your not evil but that ability of yours may be.

I guess it's just like a lady, born beautiful and sexy. To be beautiful and sexy is not evil, how you display it and use it may not be in line with the word of God. If you are modest about your appearance, married and faithful to one man, or not married but maintain celibacy until marriage...there is nothing about it.

No you weren't born evil...you may have something special that no one else has, keep it to yourself and become modest with that gift...but to become a fortune teller or to delve deeper into the psychic stuff, witchcraft, astronomy, etc...that's evil.
