SableCherub: Thank you for noting the err in the Levitus 18:10 verse. It was actually Deuteronomy 18:10. Please note that correction. I apologize for not typing it in correctly. Also, you will find that I've shortened the text of the Leviticus 19:26 verse. SableCherub, I'm glad that you went back to look up things in the Bible.

The verses that I used are exactly what is printed in the New International Version of the Holy Bible.

The source from which the conjurists, fortunetellers, and astrologers, and new age cults are coming from is what I question. I didn't say anything in my post about how I felt. Rather, I cited what the Bible said.

The utterances of Moses were from the Lord. Jesus Christ was the earthly manifestation of God. The prophets of the Bible spoke with the mind of God. The sourcerists, fortune tellers/psychics, and astrologists speak with their source not being from God, but from the evil one. The Bible speaks of them countlessly. The key difference between the holy prophets (such as Jeremiah, Isiah, Ezekiel--remember Jesus wasn't a prophet--but the Son of God) and the ones that you see on television and other forms of media is that they latter speak with the mind of God. Please refer to Jeremiah 23 and Deuteronomy 18: 14-22 to understand the difference.

1. Jeremiah 14:14 says: Then the LORD said to me, "The prophets are prophesying lies in my name. I have not sent them or appointed them or spoken to them. They are prophesying to you false visions, divinations, idolatries and the delusions of their own minds."


2. Jeremiah 23:16: This is what the LORD Almighty says: "Do not listen to what the prophets are prophesying to you; they fill you with false hopes. They speak visions from their own minds, not from the mouth of the LORD.

3. Matthew 7:15: Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves.

4. Matthew 24:11 and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people.

SableCherub, you've already cited some other proofs that Jesus Christ was God with us.

I hope that these scriptures will help you as you search out the truth of God's Word. I'd be more than happy to provide any additional clarification. But as in all things, please seek the Kingdom of Heaven FIRST. How? If you aren't saved, invite the Lord into your life and ask Him to show you clarity in the Holy Word. He will answer your earnest prayer. If you're already saved, then just simply ask God to help you understand the scriptures and help you understand whether or not the astrologists, numerologists, and principles of new age (karma) are really from Him.

I pray that you receive what I'm trying to say here in love. Remember, God doesn't want to hide the truth of His scriptures from you.

so are you stating that when the prophets "died"...those gifts died along with them? yes...there are COUNTERFEIT people that exploit things...but are you stating that it is impossible that one could genuinely "have the mind of god" and work the exact same miracles today that were worked back in the day? whether via astrology, numerology, karma...etc...? if there are FALSE prophets...that must mean there are some REAL ones...if there weren't any REAL ones...there would be no need to distinguish between FALSE and REAL...one cannot take a verse and twist it to suit their immediate needs...either you consider ALL...the good and the bad...the false and the real...or you consider none...it is sort of like sifting wheat from chaff...and in considering the whole...you can realize truth...not half truths...you must also understand the context of the ENTIRE passage...maybe even the entire book to understand the reality that is being presented...i caution you to be so quick in picking and choosing doctrines that suit your tastes...and taking in illusions of a reality that has been force fed to you...
