Yeah but i think that was in Jesus's mind, there's no indication that Satan took on any form.

Something I was asked recently - Does the devil know what you are thinking or is he only capable of feeding thoughts?

We have machines that can detect brainwave patterns, and lie detectors, so I don't think it's impossible. However, I do not believe anybody other than God can see your most inner thoughts. So while the devil might be able to predict what you're thinking or feeling at a certain moment with good accuracy, I highly doubt he can read your mind like an open book.

I'm sorry I had to cast my vote that way, but that's the way I feel (I chose the last option). I see gifts from God as only that and nothing that is latent within our minds that needs unlocking. A Christian with "psychic" powers really just has a gift from God, nothing special considering we're all gifted in some way :D

The reason I voted the way I was is that I draw a very thick black line between gifts from God and all the rest. Anything I call psionics is bad against my mind.

This is coming from a person who once did try to develop psionic ability (before I become a Christian) and did have a degree of success. I'm against it now.

Depends. It could be a pyrokinetic's slip or simply a strange chemical imbalance. And Dan, don't worry about it. I disagree with you but at this point it doesn't matter who's right.

Your theory is interesting however I think your giving Demons and Satan way to much power.

I posted two Scriptures that describe exactly what you are talking about.

I do not believe in mediums,spirits,unclean spirits,spirits of prositution or "physic" hotline BD 1800-Cleopatra....I reject Tarot card reading,pagan Wiccanism and the rest of that as well gnositicm and heresy.

I believe God is omniscient, therefore rules over our minds.

You do not believe in these things??? Peter and John rebuked a Woman that had these spirits in her.

Clearly you must believe in Spirits as the bible informs us

I made a typo and overall statement error. I believe in the Spirit of God, amnd other relevant bible spirits but reject the physic 1-800 call medium ouija board BS. I more than likely agree with all of the Scripture you referenced. I just didn't word my statement correctly. For example, a Biblical example of the spirit of prositution is prosituting your spirit to unclean way and idolatrous religions.

With regards to ouija boards, etc. do you not think it's possible that Satan controls these for the purpose of deception? For psychics, really if Satan is speaking to them they would be entirely capable of knowing anything in the past really. Might that not be an effective way to lead people who are naturally "mystical/religious" away from the truth?

There are numerous reports of people who have actually had a ouija board working, and had it go beserk when they finally asked it, "Who is Jesus?" It happenned to my mom actually. Personally I think Satan uses things like that as an opportunity to influence people... And spiritual matters of the like should NOT be triffled with.
