This is just a curiosity I have from my "travels" throught the internet and "google".
Now, after about 4 years of being a Freeper, I really do have fun here!
I've met lot's a different people from all over this country and also from other countries.
Most of you know me by now (I know, the trouble maker from MD! LOL!)
My question and comment has very little to do with politics (Or shouldn't have).
I have been looking up info on psychics and thier predictions on variuos websites and listings.
I've read all sorts of "predictions" that seem to paint a very dark picture of the future, both of our nation and President Bush and indeed the world.
Most predictors seem to have made predictions with a very liberal bent.
even one that claimed President Bush is a medium or a psychic!
others say he'll either resign by the end of this year under scandal or he'll go crazy or get very ill and die or be assasinated.
No mention of impeachment, but I'm sure it's coming!
All this leads to my question
Aren't there any Conservative Psychics or mediums?
Why do the ones I read about tend to be left-leaning Bush/America-hating liberals?
Am I missing something here?
I'll have to tell you something (at risk of being called crazy)
I do have limited psychic abilities, but I am not getting any major vibes making outlandish claims.
I am a Conservative Christian and don't think there is anything wrong with having certain abilities, you just have to be careful of were these abilities come from.
God can bestow these gifts on a person and that is good
but, be careful that they ARE from God, and not the Devil.
God bless all of you!
First off, I didn't insist abilities are only of the devil. I advised Pippin to turn them over to God on a daily basis.
Second, I believe most anything can be used by God or by the devil. It's up to me to turn it over to God for his use.
Wonderful advice, Sally.
(And thanks for those sweet words! I did feel God's 'pull' for me to come to this thread and talk with dear Pippin about this).
Thank You both!
Not according to this group of scholars from Catholic, Protestant, and Jewish traditions. And not according to some other Biblical experts such as George Lamsa, who found numerous mistranslations.
Corin!
They have ALWAYS failed.
But I'm sure Pippin didn't start this thread for the purpose of this discussion, so rather than hijack it, I will leave it at what I have already said.
The Gospels are historically valid documents. Whether you believe them or not, is your choice.
Are you referring to "The Jesus Seminar?"
*snort*
Yes........those 'Godly' scholars in the Jesus Seminar are the ultimate in all biblical authority, are they not?
Sure, if you can work in such a joke.
Thanks for coming Corin!
I don't believe that is what I said, unless you consider yourself to be a liberal or a psychic.
So James Randi is unbelievable because he tries to debunk psychics, but the Jesus Seminar is reliable because it tries to debunk the Bible?
neither
sounds like what they are saying.
Psychics are real. It's liberals that aren't real. :-)
Love your point of view! HEE! HEE! HEE!
Then how come psychics never win the lottery?
They'd be the biggiest cheaters!
Randi's credibility is doubtful because he rigs the system to achieve a predetermined result.
The Jesus Seminar people's credibility is doubtful because they went in with preconceptions and made their findings match.
