Bring It On-Line: Psychic - February 7, 2017

Is it a sin to have and use psychic abilities such as telekinesis? Is the "Flat Earth" theory a conspiracy or are they on to something? My roommate has recently got in to Wicca. Should I move out or continue being roommates? Read Transcript


OK, we've got some questions in the remaining

moments of the program.

This is David who wants to know, "Is it

a sin to have and use psychic abilities such as telekinesis?"

Look, if you've got it, I don't think it's a sin.

The question is, where did it come from?

Is it some natural ability, or is it demonic?

And I don't know you, so I can't tell you.

I do think that we do have some abilities.

I think that our brains transmit AM and FM.

And there's some things that, in the future--

you know, telekinesis and so forth--

that I think is real.

I think that these are abilities that people have legitimately.

But, you know, there's nothing in the Bible

that tells you to stir up your psychic.

The word psychic comes from [GREEK], which means "soul."

That's the Greek word for soul, [GREEK].

And you're not told to stir up your soulish power.

You're supposed to have your spiritual power.

So is it a sin?

Well, I don't know enough to say yes or no in you.

But I want to see some of this stuff

can be demonic, all right?

OK, this is Joyce, who says, "My son-in-law's getting

involved with a group of Christians

who believe the world is flat.

They even claim it's written in the Bible many times.

They even say NASA has been lying

to us about going into space.

Is this just another conspiracy theory, or could they

be on to something?"

PAT ROBERTSON: Oh, I'm sure they're on to something.

Everybody knows the world is flat.

I mean, after all, they excommunicated

people in the Middle Ages who believed that it was round.

Come off it!

I mean, this is the most ridiculous thing.

I mean, why would any intelligent person in 2017

think that the world is flat?

TERRY MEEUWSEN: To think there's a group of them

is a little scary.

Well, yeah.

I mean, good grief!

That's the blessing of modern education.

I mean, that's nuts.

That's all I can say.

What's next?

This is Nick, who says, "My roommate, whom

I've been good friends with for years, recently got into Wicca.

He says it doesn't change his faith in God

and that he just finds it fun to learn about Wicca spells.

Should I be concerned?

And should I still continue being roommates or move out?

Please help."

I think you ought to move out.

You shouldn't have anything to do with evil.

Wiccan-- they say, well, that's good witchcraft.

That's white witchcraft, not black witchcraft.

We're the good guys.

No, demons are demons.

Devil is devil.

He can appear as an angel of white.

He can do a black thing--

no way, no way.

They say, well, we're the white witches.

Stay away from that.

Get out.

Move, whatever.

OK.

This is Heather, who says, "My husband

and I want to be baptized soon and don't belong to a church.

We study the Bible and watch 'The 700 Club' daily.

We have personal relationships with God.

We belong to 'The 700 Club' and really don't

want to belong to a church just to be baptized.

Could we baptize each other in the name of the Father, Son,

and Holy Spirit?

We respect your opinion and hope to hear your thoughts."

PAT ROBERTSON: Well, you could.

And, seriously, you could.

But I'm sure you can find a church some place--

a Baptist church--

where they won't make you join the church

in order to be baptized.

But you can find a minister, go up

to some pond or creek or a bathtub or whatever,

and be baptized.

I mean, by all means, do it.

But there's nothing in the Bible that

says you have to be an ordained minister in order

to baptize somebody.

So could you baptize each other?

Yeah.
