17.The same followed Paul and us, and cried , saying , These men are the servants of the most high God, which shew unto us the way of salvation.

18.And this did she many days. But Paul, being grieved , turned and said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out the same hour.

Answer 2

Conservatives do no longer seem at their bibles. they'd discover something they're going to prefer to alter. What you point out is nice however the different scriptures that say that each and every physique alien citizens are to be taken care of as voters, which will quite p o them. @ Ruth: in the process the exodus the Israelites have been following God's mandate and commandments. The judgment against the Canaanites substitute into with the help of God and that they had to persist with it. @ Islam delenda est: dad and mom got here around here for a extra useful existence and while we deny that to a infant born here that's punishment because of the fact the youngster is an American while he's born here. we'd be stripping him from his rights. @Alien Belle: the Bible is rather consistent if we examine it properly. God judges and guy performs. What we've here is guy judging what God has already judged. Religions are man made and that they are there to grant into the ears of people who comprehend little or no of what God has decreed. Conservatives do no longer choose abortions yet they're prepared to deliver an American infant to a diverse united states of america which won't understand him.

Answer 3

In the new testament in Galatians 5, where it speaks of the desires of the flesh and in verse 20 speaks of sorcery.



The Bible is clear that all sorcery (that' another word for psychic power) is wrong. Every time it's mentioned, it's in connection with one of two things -- demons or fakery. The same would apply today, if a psychic is someone who can tell the future, then you have to ask, where is the psychic getting his or her powers? If it's not from God where is it from? Chances are most psychics are fakes, but there may be some who have demonic powers. Either way, it's not good.

Answer 4

In the Old Testament in the Book of Isaiah.

It does not condemn the psychics but it does condemn the people who prefers to consult in it more than what God have told them to do.

While God has given mankind to be free to choose between walking on the path of goodness or evil with consequences on both. He is also warning people not to listen to the mediums as one might be blinded by following a wrong advise.

Answer 5

Deuteronomy 18:9-12.

Answer 6

The Bible contradicts itself when it comes to consulting the dead, or psychics, or reading the stars... It is OK to read the stars if you are a group of soothsayers from the East and you are looking for the birth of Jesus in the stars! It is OK for Jesus to consult the dead like Elijah and Moses about his upcoming trip to Jerusalem, but itf you were to do it, it is a sin!!!
