Hey Roxy, please don't freak out, and you are not a failure. \nI do understand you. \nI am a christian and I have the same gift too. And the answer is: yes and no.\n\nYes, if you are using the talent to do evil, or to help the devil to accomplish their goals.\nNo, if you are to use your talent to glorify the kingdom of God. In my denomination, people with such talent are accomodated - as long as it is coming from Holy Spirit.\n\nMany of today's scientific discovery were once considered sorcery centuries ago. Copernicus(16th century) was almost burned to death just because he said that earth is not the center of universe, until he took back his theory. \nWe tend to categorize what we dont understand(scientificaly), to be the sorcery. Many what considered sorcery is now scientific facts, because science has evolved so much to prove its truth.\n\nBut, there are still so many uncharted abilities that human capable of doing, and we call it psychic. And yet we still do the same mistake our ancestors did, aka the modern witch hunt. \nOne day men will invent the technology to prove psychic fenomena scientificaly. \n\nBut I also must warn you, not all psychic fenomena is coming from God. The devil can deceive you into believing it was from God. That's why we must be really really close to Holy Spirit to be able to tell the difference. Let no enemy deceive us.\n\nOnce again, if you use your gift to glorify the Lord, you will not go to hell because of this.

You have freewill in your actions, but not your beliefs. God also expects you to override the logic-center in your brain and actually believe stupid silly unfounded claims about a virgin having babies, and an invisible man in the sky who set up his son to be murdered to get you off the hook.\n\nIt all sounds like some sick mob conspiracy to me.

i do believe in God and also the paranormal\nbut this isnt a must .. you can believe in one without the other ... i cant tell you otherwise\nso perhaps if you seperate that thinking that one will lead to the other .. you may get on better with your paranormal research\nit seems that you are a logically minded person .. and that you have had quite a few things that you just cant find answers for without looking to the paranormal now\nand for someone who perhaps has been skeptical of this in the past ( which it sounds as though you have ) ... this must be quite shocking for you\nwell .... it happens ...\nthere are too many things out there that have no logical explaination for \nyou are right about the orbs being dust etc ... but not all are ( most are )\ni think perhaps if you looked into the society for psychical research .. you may enjoy it\nthey look at things skeptically until they can rule out " normal " explainions\nthis is a UK site but there are similar in the USA if need be\nhttp://www.spr.ac.uk/\nhappy searching xx

I believe it is all planned ahead of time by God. If you study the Christian Bible, it really opens your eyes. It's kinda neat in a way to think about, becuase sometimes I think about how I could have been born ANYWHERE. In a poverish country, to a wealthy or poor family, with disabilities, etc. but I was chose to be born in New Jersey and 100% healthy. I'm a Christian like the person you spoke to, and would say that YES things such as our gender, where we are born, are fated. However, God also allows us to make our own decisions. So if a person commits a crime and goes to jail, or a person does something negative, I feel that it was their mistake that they chose to do and that things like that aren't fated.

I agree with you whole heartedly. I think you create your destiny and sometimes that includes a personal Heaven and a personal Hell. We all are creative of our outcome in any / all lives. I'm sure we fit into a bigger picture that most of us here cannot fathom, but it all revolves around love and if that's not part of your life at some point I believe you're destined to a personal Hell. I don't need any religion to help me understand this. When I say Hell I don't mean a fiery chasm where people burn for enernity...nor do I mean a place where an evil horned creature tortures you. I very simply mean a place that is unhappy and unfulfilling to your heart and soul. Some people find this place and choose to find a way out through Love and some people find this place and choose to do harm to themselves and others. In any case... I certainly don't believe in most religions concepts of Heaven and Hell.\n\nAnd I believe answers like the one below mine are the most pressing reasons why the world in in the shape that it is. People who endorse Guilt, Suffering and Repentance in the name of God are responsible for the Suffocation of other Souls. Life can be daunting enough without Holier than Thou assholes prancing around preaching the good book to you and expressing that you're going to Hell where the Evil horned creature tortures you for eternity if you don't "repent" or convert to the "right" faith. As if a "proper" faith exists. News flash to all of the bible banging whack jobs out there... If I want to worship a tree or a rock or Krispy frickin Creme Donuts, I'm not goin to Hell. And if for some reason there is a Hell and I go to it... I'll be sure to see all of you there!

If you're born a human, you're born a sinnner.  \n\nYou are not divine. ;)

I am a christian as well and i think that we are right in our beliefs, there is nothing in the bible that ever was proven to be false far from it the more they dig the more it is proven to be fact, the best psychics in the world are not nearly as good as the bible , the reason so many people are against Jesus and the Bible is simple they are lost as it says small and narrow is the gate that leads to life.

don't worry. its actually satanist for people to say all these hurtful words.. god (regardless of your religion) don't teach ppl to talk bad about others. whatever you believe.. rest assured this, you don't do bad.. you don't go to hell. guess i won't be seeing you after i die.. tata.

I believe we are all divine.....and that "psychic abilities" are just listening to the "God" within all of us who is all-knowing.  If everyone took enough time and effort to meditate and listen....they would be amazed at what they would hear and know (that others would call psychic).\n\nMy other belief is that the Devil or Darkness, is simply the absence of God (or Light).   The Devil is not a "thing".....\nFor example, when you turn the light on in a dark room, the darkness does not "go away" (it is not a thing).  The darkness exists only when the light is not there.\n\nSo therefore, seek for answers and look for guideance from higher sources and you won't have to worry about the dark (or devil).\n\nJust my thoughts.....

Those ignoramuses that believe in god should stop and think: why would a god that is so almighty and good allow such a place to exist.  The eternal torturing of the soul is a pretty bad scenario.  Eternal? yeah right.  What good can come of torture?  The sooner people realize that there is no god and hence there also is no hell, the better!

There is no biblical bases for hearing your name and it being an angel.  God does speak to people, he does have messengers as well, but it does not mean that is what it is.  My advice would be to pray and see if God has something he is trying to say to you.  Also, no offense to the person who said it, but just because it scares you when you hear your name does not mean that it is a demon (although that could be the case) but even the shepards were fearful when they saw the angels proclaiming the birth of Christ.  The angels had to tell them not be be afraid.  Just pray!!!!

it that's true than it is screwed up\n\nbut then again I think the concept of eternal Hell is evil to begin with. A merciful creator would not not allow any person to suffer for all time.

God Loves You. Jesus the Chirst Loves You. Don't ask for people who supposedly are psychic. Trust me.

You may be evil but thinking you're the antichrist is probably delusions of grandeur.\n\nI definitely recommend a psychiatrist - preferably while you are hospitalized in a mental institution.

no matter what anyone says sounds like your mind is made up\nthe only thing Ican say is do your research,If you beleive in evulotion the chances of people being so perfect (two arms legs eyes we are not cyclops here)is so slim of a chance. why haven't they found fossils of messed up people. You are the one who decides for you. But I can pick more holes in the evulotion thought then the bible.Jesus did say one must be born again to enter the gates of heaven.RESEARCH both notions. then decide

I don't admire your position.  My suggestion would be to first do some soul searching; decide what you truly believe God or The Divine is and how you relate to Him/Her.  Is God merciful and kind?  Vengeful and Angry?  Is He simply a Creator that allows man to choose his own path or does he have our destiny mapped out for us?\nAfter that- another hard choice- the afterlife.  Do you believe in one at all?  Is there a heaven?  if so, is there a hell?  Do you believe a soul can be reincarnated?\nMy suggestion is to actually write these questions and answers down on paper to give yourself a very clear picture of your beliefs.  Think of as many theological questions and theories that are important to you and actually put them into words.  Then- RESEARCH.  I would say go to a clergy member, pastor etc but if you do remember they are only going to give you THEIR beliefs and teachings, not what you may consider your own.  So if you seek advice from a third party, take everything from a skeptics point of view unless you find someone that says EVERYTHING you've written down as your core beliefs. (Chances are- you won't)\nTry the internet, library, bookstore- whatever nonpartial resources you can find.\nLastly, keep an open mind.  Don't write down "I believe in the Bible so I must be Christian".  Judaism believes in the Old Testament of the Bible; Mormons believe in both the Old and the New Testamants but have a Third testament as well.  Wiccans don't believe in the Christian Bible, but have many of the same core beliefs as "love thy neighbor".  Here's a good web site that has a lot of information on a variety of religions   http://www.religioustolerance.org/  \nThere's no easy way out of this one.  You've got a long road ahead of you and I wish you luck.

Okay...you're going to Hell, then.  A limo will be picking you up.  You will be driven past the Pearly Gates but, because you're going to Hell, you won't be stopping.  Next, you will arrive at Purgatory, where you WILL stop.  Your Demon driver will open the door for you and escort you to the Satan Shop of Horrors.  There, you will purchase necessities for when you arrive in Hell; such as horns, a forked tongue, a spiked tail, some talons, razor-sharp teeth, all to be implanted by Satan himself when you arrive at your new accommodations.  You will pay for this with your soul.  Said soul will be forwarded to Satan at a later date.  \n\nYou will then be driven, non-stop to Hell.  Once there, you will be escorted by your worse nightmare to a room filled with demons disguised as the people you most detested on Earth.  You will be living with them from now on.  Every day you will leave the room and wipe the crappy butts of every demon and resident of Hell with your tongue.  Every night, you will have sex with a wrinkled old woman whose boobs sag down to her hooves, and puss always drips from her privates.  Twice a week, Satan will pay you a visit and tear your entrails from your body while you scream in excruciating pain.\n\nFeel better?\n\n\nBlessed Be!\nCoven of Witches\nhttp://www.thecovenofwitches.com
