Psychics and Christianity

I'm frequently amazed that intelligent, normal seeming human beings can actually believe in horoscopes and psychic readings.  I am even MORE amazed that Christians would dare involve themselves in such activity.  I have to admit, I've always had a fascination with the super-natural.  But I also had an underlying fear of it as well. Thankfully for that fear (God's protection I now believe) I never got involved in witchcraft, ouiji boards, and the like. 

Reading the Bible I have learned, and God has shown me, that there are things we just don't need to get involved in.  Reminds me a bit of the Garden of Eden.  So much that Adam and Eve could have.  Absolutely everything... if they would just avoid that ONE TREE!  Well, we know how that ended.... 

Getting involved in psychic activity and encouraging it in our children is frightening.  If it is not an act and real information is being "divined" then it is from Satan.  That's right, people, demons.  I fully believe that "real" psychics (those who are not liars, charlatans, and thieves) are demon-possessed.  Doesn't Satan masquerade as an angel of light? How could he deceive if he presented his real self?  He'd be so frightening no sane person would be drawn to him.  So, of course, he's making himself appear good and helpful. 

This is the reason, I believe, that "real" psychics can do good things.  But I cannot believe it to be a gift from God.  Gifts from God are used to glorify the Father.  They bring honor to Him and to His Son.  If glory is given anyplace else (to the psychic or to his 'spirit-guide') then it is NOT a gift from God.   If your actions are not glorifying to God, they are against Him.  AND, giving credit to "some" god is not the same as acknowledging God, the Father, and His Son, Jesus Christ. 

I've been told I'm too closed-minded.  Well, if my faith were in "some" god and I had not firm belief in TRUTH, it would not be much of a faith, now, would it?  Why in the world would I say I believed in something, only to say in the same breath that it is open to interpretation?  Truth is black and white. But that's yet another conversation!
Love to you all!
