First of all, psychics are not really considered biblically people who see into the future. psychics have what the bible calls a "familiar" spirit. It is a demonic spirit which tries to imitate the prophets of God. Psychic spirits gather information about people from other demonic spirits. It is like a grapevine of information about people. That's how they know certain information about people who come to the psychics. Overall, this is not a operation of God, but a working of the devil. Why? If the devil can trick people into believeing what a psychic says, he can set you up for certain events or met certain people which will cause you disaster down the road. Anything which involves the devil will cause your downfall down the road.

it really is what occurs even as human beings imagine in a linear trend. the concern is that area-time isn't linear. What technological information is showing now can be a destiny it really is made from infinite opportunities... all as actual because the subsequent, which "solidify" contained in the "now". Your theory of a psychic is one it really is able to work out a particular destiny, and that would or received't be the case. besides as your clarification of a psychic seeing a particular destiny, might want to no longer a psychic be someone gentle to options of others, and how they relate to opportunities? may a psychic predicting an earthquake, particularly than seeing a not hassle-free destiny, instead be gentle to the Earth? per chance the psychic is basically gentle to options particularly than beginning the e book to web page 147. Your options are more effective like Calvanism, in which each little thing is predetermined or predestined. I type of imagine somewhat diverse than that.

I've yet to meet a psychic who claims to see the future with exact certainity.
If one does, you're certainly not dealing with a legitimate one.

Who Are the Predestined?
Indeed, the Bible does speak of predestination. The term predestined is found four times in two of Paul's epistles. Here's what the inspired apostle said about this subject:
And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified (Romans 8:2830).
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love, having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, to the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He made us accepted in the Beloved. In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace which He made to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence, having made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure which He purposed in Himself, that in the dispensation of the fullness of the times He might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven and which are on earth-in Him. In Him also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His will... (Ephesians 1:311).
At first glance, one might think that the above passages are in full agreement with the Westminster Confession of Faith. But a careful study of all biblical passages on the divine plan of salvation reveals that the authors of the Confession have wrongly interpreted the above scriptures.
To correctly understand these passages, it is essential that we understand that eternal life in the Kingdom of God is the proper destiny of every member of the human race! This does not mean that every individual will arrive at the destiny God has set before the human race. Rather, it means that God's purpose for humankind was established before the foundation of the world was laid, and that all who cooperate with Him will reach their proper destination. Hence, He "chose us [all who, through exercise of their divinely bestowed free will, accept His universal offer] in Him before the foundation of the world," and "predestined us [the whole race, potentially] to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ." Predestination, then, pertains to the purpose God had in mind when He decided to make creatures bearing His own image and likeness. It concerns the destination God established for the human race before He put humans on this planet.
The term predestination means "to mark out beforehand," and refers to the plan and goal of salvation itself, not to specific individuals. It should be understood in the corporate sense, rather than in the sense that each individual was predestined to either eternal life or eternal condemnation.
In Romans 8:2830 (quoted above), the Greek term translated whom is plural and therefore refers to a corporate body rather than individual persons. The passage tells us that God knew beforehand that there would be a body of believers, but does not say that He limited the membership of that body to a specific number. It further tells us that the destiny God had in mind for all who would cooperate with His will was "to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He [the Son] might be the firstborn among many brethren."
Finally, the passage provides an overview of the entire process, from beginning to end: Members of the race bearing God's image are called through the preaching of the gospel, and those who respond to the gospel in repentance and faith are justified and, at the consummation of the age, glorified. (It is not Paul's intention to address the question of how God will deal with those who die without having heard the true gospel.
