Was it God? His son? Or extraordinary man who had psychic abilities? Was he mad? What do you think?

No one had ever described God, God can be transformed in whatever form as God wishes.  I saw the God once in my dream, it was in a form of beautiful lights that I have never seen before and at a split of a second I saw a resemblance of a smile .....then it vanished..

Right on brother.  And to all the people who point to 'miracles' that show them there is a god, there are thousands of people who watch the opposite happen to their family member.  What about them?\n\nSeriously, you say you watched some thing hapeen to a relative for a month that should have killed them, but didn't so THERE is god.  What about the 30 year old healthy father of 3 who dies on the the tennis court?  What is his wife supposed to think? What about his 9 year old son?  God works in mysterious ways?  That is all semantic claptrap.\n\nWhat about the 60 year old atheist homeless person who lives to be 90 with nobody praying for him? Please

He didn't discover anything then.   It's still a theory.    \n\nIn contrast, you are trying to compare apples and oranges.   God isn't a circus monkey to do tricks for you on a whim.   Follow the scripture and wrap yourself in the Word of God and miracles and the works of God will unfold before your very eyes every day.   You just have to open your eyes to see them.

My IQ is over 160 and I am a card-carrying member of Mensa.\nI believe in God.\n\nMy father has an IQ of over 180.  He believes in God.\n\nApparently, the sample size of this study did not include us.\n\nAlso, let us remember that some of the highest IQ's ever have been held by Christians (and Catholics, nonetheless):\nBlaize Pascal - 195\nEmanuel Swedenborg - 205\nGalileo Galilei - 185 (Though his discoveries were at odds with the Church at the time, he devoutely believed in God)\nRené Descartes - 180\n\nThese are scientists and philosophers.  Apparently, the study did not include these geniuses, either.

Acts 8:9  But there was a certain man, called Simon, which beforetime in the same city used sorcery, and bewitched the people of Samaria, giving out that himself was some great one:\n10  To whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, This man is the great power of God.\n11  And to him they had regard, because that of long time he had bewitched them with sorceries.\n12  But when they believed Philip preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.\n13  Then Simon himself believed also: and when he was baptized, he continued with Philip, and wondered, beholding the miracles and signs which were done.\n\nOf course he was treated fairly.  He was shown his mistake and allowed to change from the error of his ways.\n\nMagicians can't do miracles.  Only God can do those or empower others to do them.

"God" didn't step out of the clouds, sit down with some vellum and quill and write that, sorry. Some regular ol' man who claimed "God" spoke to him did.\n\nWhen this happens nowadays, the person in question is usually placed under psychiatric care.

well yeah, that is why there are no legitimate institutions for psychics, because it depends on the individuals beliefs and not cold facts. \n\nIf I told you you will be rich when you are fifty, and you strongly believe this, it might come true, but not because I told you so, but because you had a reason to believe. \n\nAs for satan being disguised as an angel of light, I find this demoralizing to the true angels of light.

Well, some ppl claim that they can see the past and predict the future. Some of them say that they've actually done it before with accuracy. There was this one famous predictor hundreds of years ago... I think his name was Nostradamus... and his writings have been interpreted to say that he predicted 9/11 and stuff. \n\nIntuition is different from being psychic. Intuition doesn't always involve prediction- it's more of a gut feeling.

Jesus was the God made Man... He is the Son of God, from all eternity he existed... and became a finite man regulated to the limitations of our human species... for a few short years to fulfill our redemption and open Paradise to all believers... and the Holy Ghost is the spiritual mindal binding unit that God the Father and God the Son share to become ONE... Don't try to use your human limited finite mind to understand a deep DIVINE MYSTERY OF DEITY... Do not put yourself up on the same level as GOD... Just admit that you are a finite man with a limited mind and let some mysteries lay until you gain Paradise to be able to understand them... it keeps you HUMBLE... I hope you know what that is... HUMILITY?  Deity-God is a mystery, not understantable by a human limited mind...

I don’t know, but I remember reading, some 25 years ago, in one of his books  of a man who wrote down on one of those cards that he had  a certain type cancer, when he really didn’t, trying too fool the preacher and thereby exposing his ‘gift’ as false.  When Branham was made aware of it (by the Spirit?) he turned to the man and prophesied that the man would indeed get the very disease he had tried to trick the “prophet” into believing he had.   As the story was told, the man did get that very cancer. I don’t recall if he died from it or later repented.  I’m not a Branhamite, nor a fan, but that there were healings at his meetings seems incontrovertible, if you believe his and others eye witness accounts. The question is by what power were these miracles? Soul power, demonic power or YHVH? I lean more towards the first explanation than the second, but it is possible YHVH was working through him.  That I don’t care to know is the more relevant response. There are many present day spiritual anomalies, deceptions, heresies,  doctrines and questionable miracles to beware of than those that may or may not have taken  place 50 + years ago in a  man from Jasper, Indiana.

He is powerful, He overcame death and hell and got raised from the dead.\n\nThe best power you can have is a personal realtionship with God.\n\nPower comes from God and manifests though us. Yes it was a big sacrafice. See the gospels for clarity and encouragement.

As regards the supernatural, it's near impossible to convince anyone that they are wrong be they cynic or believer.  I'm fairly certain that many Psychics believe they are on the level and there are certainly plenty of genuine con-artists who take advantage of believers.

I would be thankful. Sure not all psychics do things for the betterment of man but many do and have the gift. More law enforcement use psychics on a regular basis that you would think. \nYep, I would be thankful!

yup!I can relate to some of these experiences. I have times where I know the outcome of the situation before it occurs.It is a good gift to have. I can sense people's energies very often and sometimes I get drained from their energy as well. Be open to this gift. In fact, I myself am thinking about developing my intuition a little bit more. There are some things in this world that are supernatural and I believe in them a lot. I believe that we were all born with this gift and it can be developed over time if we are open to it. In religion with all due respect Jesus had psychic abilities. Yes, psychic experiences are real. I have experienced it very often. And no, I have no psychological problems what-so-ever. I am a music major and live happily and enjoying life and a straight A student. It just so happen that it's in my genes. I come from a happy home. :O) I am Catholic on top of that. If they are real psychics they won't charge $1,000, they will charge less and they will not be demanding.

Simply put, I don't think he did.  I think that man created all of the fire and brimstone, believe in me for your own good or I'll kill you stuff.  Only a complete ego centric would create us just so we can worship and glorify him.  That's not my idea of a higher power.

He was the product of a Christian Austrian father and a Jewish Mother, who began to hate jews when a jewish doctor failed to save the life of his mother who died from a cancerous tumor.\n\n  He was deeply involved in the occult and some have speculated that he may have been possessed by a demon.
