ANY dabbling with the occult, spirits and such is dangerous!\n\nThere are several scriptures in the Bible about this, if you want me to look them up for you send me an e-mail

Frequently people use spirituality as a means of controlling.  Controlling themselves and others.  You have spirituality that this religious, they contort the words of the Bible to gain power. There are other spiritual organizations that are not religious, but they use the power obtained to control people.\n\nI don't count myself as spiritual, I am a Christian, far from perfect, I attend worship, I study to learn more because ultimately, if you believe in a higher power and believe that the Bible is true, you gain self respect and this allows you to believe in Jesus, who stated though you called my name I did not know you.  He clearly stated that there will be those who abuse his name, but they are not His and will be condemned to hell.  But, belief and a willingness to put His words to practice and you cannot help but to Change once you accept His great gift of Eternal Life.  It's easy to get, but you must believe that it is the truth, if you do changes happen. If you don't you may play the spiritual or religios game, but in the end the evil in you takes over.

I agree with you! If the questions are listed correctly under religion & spirituality, then they have no room to complain. What else do they expect to find here?? If someone posts outside of the correct topic area then it is considered abuse, and it should be reported, just as we would report someone for posting advertising of immoral subjects somewhere. I just believe that some folks have never taken a stand spiritually and are not knowlegable about it and it scares them. So the recourse they use is, "Don't shove it down my throat".  Also as far as the other person that said you weren't being christianly by your post is wrong, being upset is not a sin.........Jesus overthrew the tables of the money changers in the synagoge...done properly it is okay.

There is no way to shield yourself when invoking evil spirits. Since God is more powerful than anything you could call up, why don't you try asking him for something and see what the answer will be?

This type of sin, confess and receive repentance most rezembles the Cathlic faith.  It was started and practiced as a physical way to do the same thing we are suppose to be doing in the spiritual as well. "That which is done in the physical relm, through prayer, is also done in the spiritual relm."  \n\nThis is done by cathlics and not many others.  It has been done for so long that many do it now as a ritual and not as a whole hearted confession and turning away from the sin.  I agree with what you're saying and it will not end until Jesus returns.  Even then... For the ones who miss the boat, still may not change!?

I'm not sure what a "clairsentient medium" is, but I'm assuming that it has something to do with calling up spirits, or trying to contact dead people.  If this is so, here is my response.  \n\nI'm also assuming that since you are asking this question, you realize that tarot cards, calling up spirits, etc and the Bible are not compatible.  Demonic spirits use these avenues to get into people's lives and do nothing but torture, ruin, and deceive them.  Since you are thinking about this, God must be convicting you.\n\nSo which to pick??  From an outside point of view, it looks like you have two choices:\n\nYou can choose to continue helping Satan deceive people and try to fill your spiritual longing with something that will only ultimately leave you empty.\n\nOr, you can choose an everlasting eternity with Christ!  Christ will never let you down, will always bring truth and peace, and saves you from eternal deception.  What should you do today?  The same thing that we all need to do: Have a chat with God.  Tell Him that you are sorry that you have not allowed His Holy Spirit to take controle of your life, and that you accept Jesus as the covering of your sins.  Ask God to fill you up with joy for Him!!  Read your Bible every day, and get in the practice of having some quiet time with God every day.  Start or continue attending a Biblical church so that you can be encouraged and held accountable by other Christians.  I have already been praying for you.

I personally can't see how this sort of commandment can be taken literally as it has no boundaries.\n\nUse whatever spiritual guidance you feel is appropriate as a guide only ... follow your heart - I don't believe in a heaven but if you do surely being true to yourself is the path rather than strict adherence to doctrine.\n\nAlso, and I know it is difficult, try not to hate -  it is a disease that spreads!\n\n\nPeace Out,

Name of any Blessed God, why would anyone want to do that? They might be bread but they certainly don't make a decent sandwich...besides, it would be moraly wrong to do that to another Faith. No self-respecting Pagan would do such a thing, I will have you know. We're far more forgiving of others beliefs than the main-streamers are. Blessings.

No it isn't wrong.  As a matter of fact, I have always said that if Jesus came back, we would think he was either insane or a magician.  We would probably lock him up in some mental ward, and claim he had one of all the new "disorders" we are coming up with these days.

not really sure... what I have learned form studying about the spiritual side is... spirits want to inhabit a living being..not an object... yet they can be around the object waiting for a person to use it ....How true that is I am not sure.\n The bible says...always  and only...spirits in people or a living being (pigs)

No, it's not morally reprehensible. It's just natural for people to learn from eachother. Egyptians worshipped a few Canaanite gods. The early first milennium ce Britain was a wonderful hodgepodge of religion, with Christianity, Roman gods, and Celtic ones- and certainly they influenced eachother. \n\nOf course, this spirit of sharing has led many neopagan authors to acts of intellectual theft, which is a whole other can of worms.

No. It is morally wrong to financially rape a grieving relative by over-charging for funeral services.\nCremation is sanitary, environmentally responsible, much, much cheaper, and if it's wrong morally, as you asked, what about all the saints who were burned at the stake by the Catholic church during the Inquisition because they disagreed with some of their doctrines? \nI think it's a great idea!

I wouldn't be surprised. I expect even holding hands is wrong. It seems everything is wrong in the christian religion. You cant do this,and you cant do that.

Yes it is a sin. I am a Christian, Baptist to be precise.

When you say someone is sinning or not following your gods way , are you not judging them ? And if so are you not (by your own religious laws) then condemned ? \nIf no one is being harm let them be and treat them as you wish yourself treated... that's your right as a human being regardless of whatever religion you subscribe to.

It seems practising some religions is like a club membership with rules rather than focusing on being a good person + spreading god's love through our actions. There are some persons who hypocritcally following the rules, say attending service but then forgetting the other important stuff that really counts more. Be true to ourselves, follow the path that is right for you...this may not be the same path as for others
