The eye of the fortune-teller sees human beings as impersonal pawns moved around and slaughtered by the millions to fulfill some imaginary roadmap of the future.

The eye of God sees something like this:

The fortune-tellers do not speak for the God I love and serve.

In fact, their inability to repent may indicate that God has given them over to their obsessive delusions of omniscience. However, those who truly love God will, by His grace, escape from these strong delusions, and become of some value to His Kingdom in this day of grace and opportunity. It can happen -- I once sat where they sat, and lapped up the oracular utterances of their "prophecy teachers." Then, God opened my eyes, and my heart.

I fear, though, that the hardness of heart demonstrated by this original post may be a symptom of judicial blindness of mind. These crazies are certainly bringing shame upon our Savior, and discrediting His gospel. Any unbelieving person of normal intelligence would look upon these "prophetic" speculations in the face of human suffering and say, "If that's a Christian, I certainly hope I never become one."

How should a Christian deal with someone like this poster who is so obviously emotionally fragile and irrational?

Nobody’s telling fortunes here Westboro-breath. I’m saying what’s happened when the date’s been associated with a number. You can call me conspiratorial until the cows come home and I’ll not protest. But fortune teller is not something I’ll take lightly.

I said watch out and be in awe of it only because my critically thinking brain says there’s something whack about that date.

Every fortune teller I have ever met looks like something my dog wouldn’t drag home. That’s all I need to know about the 11’s onezies.

I agree with your “critique” of this particular post. I find the reasoning behind it, the LACK of specific scriptural evidence for it and the absence of Christian compassion in it troubling....

I do hope, however, you weren’t painting any particular view of eschatology or theology with a broad brush in your comments. While that wouldn’t be nearly as tragic as the sentiments expressed above, it would be just as inconsiderate of individual perspectives and motivations.
