Is using ESP a sin?

Question

At will and without the help of God.

Answer 1

How can you prove that what you have predicted to be true didn't come from God?

Answer 2

Why would it be a SIN??? Don't even go there!! If you have ESP then use it wisely and safely and read up about the subject, do some research!!!

Extra-sensory perception (ESP)is defined in parapsychology as the ability to aquire information by paranormal means. ESP is not dependent on the known physical senses, nor on deduction from previous experience. It was used by J. B. Rhine to denote abilities such as telepathy, precognition and clairvoyance.ESP is also sometimes casually referred to as a sixth sense. The term implies sources of information currently unexplained by science. The active agent through which the mind is able to receive ESP impressions has been named psi. As with all paranormal phenomena, the existence is ESP is disputed, and skeptics say there is no scientific evidence for it.

Answer 3

No ESP is not a sin if it where than all the Christin's who have it wouldn't be allowed into their Church's now would they.

If anyone says differently I think that they need a new out look on their own religion. I mean seriously how many of the physics on TV are Christan and how many people that go to them are Christan in one way or another including MORMONS!!!!

Answer 4

If one seeks to give foreknowledge of the future, they are not only trying to emulate the powers of GOD, but they are in the grips of Satan. Nothing can be done without GOD, therefore if any revelation is given, it is thru GOD and not thru any other source, the woman in the bible posessed the spirit of divination, and paul cast it out of her as he seen it had complete control of her, feeling grieved. Very dangerous, it would not be advised to seek such revelatory powers

Answer 5

If you really understand that gift, you would realize that it is from God.
ESP is nothing but your 5 senses hieghtened. Those talents that we have are allowed by God.

Also, SIN is going outside God's will. This confirms that it is a choice. Using your talents means nothing. what you should really think about is, " Am I using this talent to glorify God?" If not, then yes, it's a sin.

Answer 6

I have had psychic experiences. No, I think that if you have psychic experiences you have a gift -- possibly from God. You might think that you are sinning-- then that would make it a sin for you ( a sin of conscience), but in itself it is not. What you do with it might be a sin, but if you are merely experiencing it, what could you do about it anyway?

Answer 7

It would depend on how you use it. If you have an esp gift...God might expect you to use for the good of others....but God has also warned us to stay away from seers...and Satan loves to deceive thru them....like talking to the dead, etc.

So I would be very cautious....and it isn't a gift I would like to have.....and be careful....because Satan can use it to deceive you into thinking you have a gift...that he is using thru you.....

Answer 8

No by means is it a sin. Here are the scriptures supporting this.

(Acts 2:17) And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:

(Acts 2:18) And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:

Answer 9

without God it might still be a gift from the holyghost who gives gift without repentance.
but then again ESP is a gift from God and there is a prophet in the book of mormon who describes it, pertaining to his belief.

if a person worships satan and gets its power from that fallen angel, then it is idolatry and unless a person repents there will no other course of action but to be cast out of Gods kingdom, even when it comes to His universe and His Heaven.

Answer 10

yes without God

Answer 11

There is only two......Good or Evil. If it isn't Good, what is it? Prophesy in scripture says that if it dosent come completely true, then it isn't real. God Bless !!
