Deuteronomy 18:14\nFor these nations which you will dispossess listened to soothsayers and diviners; but as for you, the LORD your God has not appointed such for you.\nDeuteronomy 18:10\nThere shall not be found among you anyone who makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire, or one who practices witchcraft, or a soothsayer, or one who interprets omens, or a sorcerer,

"...can it be backed up with scripture?"\n\nCertainly not; it's not Scriptural.  It's a pseudo-religious phrasing of an old conservative attitude.

I would argue the opposite.  In Acts Chapter 2, Peter quotes the prophet Joel:\n\nIn the last days it will be, God declares,that I will pour out 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.  Even upon my slaves, both men and women, in those days I will pour out my Spirit; and they shall prophesy. \n\nIt would also be accurate to translate prophesy as preach.  So, according to this passage, God will pour out his spirit on men and women and they will preach.

Romans 3:4: "God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar"\n\nIf it doesn't mesh with what's in the Bible, it's wrong. Period.

The bible is a book of stories passed down thro generations. Don't take it seriously

I'm sure you'll be told you're reading the wrong version of the bible. everytime someone finds something bad in one of them, there's either a contradictory statement for rebuttal or it's just the wrong version.

well, don't read the bible word for word. the person who wrote it probably exaggerated a bit.

Any book that denies or trys to change or add to the written Word of God is a danger to read.  Stick with the orininal Bible It worked in peoples lives for 1000's of years so why try to change it. Is it becuase people in the 21st century think that they know more than God?

It could be different things happening at different locations so it isn't wise to make a statement saying that such and such explains every circumstance. However, I will say that when some showman gets up in front of a crowd and puts his hand on people's foreheads and they fall backwards, that it reminds me of these verses from the Bible.\n\nMatthew 24:24  For false Christs and false prophets will arise and show great signs and wonders; so much so that, if it were possible, they would deceive even the elect.\n\n2 Peter 2:1 But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master, the One having bought them, and bringing upon themselves swift destruction.  (2)  And many will follow after their debaucheries, because of whom the way of truth will be blasphemed.  (3)  And by covetousness they will exploit you with fabricated words; for a long time their judgment has not been idle, and their destruction will not sleep.

I agree with you and have said the same thing myself many times.  From my point of view the bible is much like Grimms fairy tales.  To be used as and example of right and wrong.

Please give a Biblical reference for what you are talking about.

you have to be blind to not look around and see that every freaking thing the bible says is going to happen is alr....oh wait:\n\nLuke 8:10\n\n"...so that the Scriptures might be fulfilled:\n\n   \n    `They see,\n       but they don't really see;\n    they hear,\n       but they don't understand."\n\nas in the days of Noah...

Don't worry- not biblical. God said watch out for man, he will deceive you.

None if your reading the KJV.

I read many regardless of length. However the ones that appear to be cut and paste I'll skip.  You will find this is the case in many bible related questions. The respondent will sometimes just paste a bunch of biblical verses in an effort to support their point.  It doesn't work. I don't waste time reading them.
