[Faith-talk] Tarot Course

[Poppa Bear]

Hello Debbie, I agree with much of your advice and position on this topic. I
would like to possibly offer some other point of view on prophecy, there are
two biblical types of prophecy, there is for telling and forth telling, you
stated one, but the second did involve predicting the future and a cursory
inspection of the scriptures can show us this over and over again. We have
many prophecies pertaining to the birth, ministry, purpose and death of the
savior. We have temporal prophecies in the Book of Daniel that pertained to
his day with the kings as well as the end times, we have prophecies in the
book of Lamentation and on and on that were specific and prophetic. One
other point to acknowledge is that if a profit was a false profit than their
predictions of the future would not come true and that makes the inference
that prophesying was often a matter of telling about the future. 
You are right about when a person says they are a Christian and when they
are not, according to the Bible, Christians are called to hold each other
accountable to the teachings of the Bible and for those outside of the body,
we are called to share the Gospel with them.

Justin, I believe in all of the gifts of the Holy Spirit.  One of those is
prophecy.  But believe it or not, prophecy is not really predicting the
future.  What it is is declaring truth.  The prophets in the Old Testament
were sent by God to give correction to a people that had sinned against Him.
What they said was if you don't do this, then that will happen, or if you do
this, this will happen.  Time after time, the people of Israel and Judah
were warned by prophets, not because God wanted bad things to happen, but
because there needed to be correction.

The difference I see in things like Tarot cards, reading palms, or other
such is that for Christians, we want to follow the leading of the Holy
Spirit, not other spirits.  Since Brandon has not claimed to be a Christian,
then if he chooses to deal with Tarot cards that's his choice.  If I, who
proclaim to be a Christian were to begin reading Tarot cards, I should
expect my brothers and sisters to at least ask me why I would do such a 
thing.  That's the difference.    Blessings,    Debby and Neena
