If he actually believes this, then he is a "lunatic."
If he only makes other people believe this, then he is a "fraud."
If he charges people for doing this, he is a "thief."
Thanks for asking! Glad I could help.

Sounds like some sort of oracle. Oracles act as mediums - though they were usually some priest or priestess with messages from the gods. That is about as detailed as I can get. The word is not used often anymore, in today's Society - apart from science fiction books. The reason I believe it is an oracle instead of just a medium is because you stated that he uses his body as a medium and predicts the future. Hope this helps. Good Day.

Scot D, how can you say that he is a fraud without even knowing him? I know atheists don't believe in any from of higher power, but you have no proof that there isn't. To just dismiss things so easily is a little arrogant don't you think? I always try to keep an open mind and go with this philosophy. Nothing is impossible but some things are highly improbable.

"Medium" "Spiritist" or Witch with a familiar spirit" ( See First Samuel 28 verse 7 and following) People who do this- (consult with evil spirits, for the dead know nothing) are condemned by the Almighty. There is a slight difference among the three terms, but they overlap substantially

I can't give any details really. I believe what your talking about is channeling. A spirit that speaks through a live human being.

How about Con Artist? Flim Flam man? Hoaxer? Phoney?
All of the above are apt discriptions of someone who steals another person's money on the pretense of "telling the future."
Go ahead, tell me mine. First, however, we agree that you sign over everythiing you own to me, if you're wrong.
No takers? Why not?

I believe you are referring to channeling. Your father is channeling the spirit.
