Leviticus 19:31 “‘Do not turn to mediums or seek out spiritists, for you will be defiled by them. I am the Lord your God. [Spirituality & Religion]

I don't think people understand what happens in the spiritual realm when they consult mediums. One time I thought I was going to see a prophet but I later found out he was a medium hiding behind church. Let me tell you everything got messy after that, I even tried taking my life because my life was chaotic. Never again.

Why are we told to be scared of Witches and not the people who burned them alive?! 🤔

Just saying!

The Levites were a bunch who had their motives and have a reputation as a joyless bunch who loved ruling others' lives.

Sill, while I accept believing in God I regard condemning "mediums" and "spiritists" on religious grounds as saying that what they believe in, and the "defiling" they allegedly brought, are real.

You see traces of it even now, when the supermarket corruption of All Hallows Eve elicits po-faced moans from some priests about alleged dangers from supposed ghosts, ghouls and things that go bump in the night. By doing so, rather than just saying how silly such things are, they unwittingly say they are real!

Perhaps the Levites's real motive was religious intolerance. Did they want theirs and theirs alone, to be the "official" faith in a time when many of the older religions had a very heavy emphasis on after-lives with ancestor-worship, grave-goods, [i]post-mortem[/i] "guidance" and the like?

"Professional" mediums were very popular in the late-19C, when far more people were church-goers than not, if by social pressure more than conviction; but one of the first to reveal those mediums as charlatans was the stage-magician and escape-artist Harry Houdini. He could see through their theatricals.

I accept faiths like Wicca (a simple Nature-worship whose deity is female, to the patriarchal Abrahamists' disgust), too; but I certainly do not believe in the more way-out, rather fey concepts. Ones like ley-lines and their never-described "energy", crystals, model pyramids, whale-"song" magic, astrology, "psychics" and the like. Still, those keep the knick-knack shops in towns like Glastonbury busy (pandemics permitting) with a strange mish-mash of Christian and pre-Christian romanticism.* I do not call them "bad" or "evil" on religious grounds, and hope I never fall into that trap. I just think them as eccentric but mainly harmless.


*Glastonbury is a South-West English town with a very ancient, genuine Christian and probably pre-Christian religious history. It has also become a meeting-place for peculiar myths involving Joseph of Arithmea (sp?) who might have been a real evangelist but is highly unlikely to have visited England, and of a Saxon / early-Mediaeval King Arthur invented by a Mediaeval French novelist. The town and especially its local hill, Glastonbury Tor, topped by a ruined church, attracts all manner of hippy-ish types who believe in such tales.

I've always had an open mind God is love I've always believed that and trust in God.

When I played with tarot cards I sold my soul to the devil! Then Christ Jesus redeemed me!

Leviticus 20:27 “Men and women among you who act as mediums or who consult the spirits of the dead must be put to death by stoning. They are guilty of a capital offense.”

Seeking after them only opens the door to demonic oppression and possession..

How come no faith healers are working in hospitals? How come no fortune tellers win the lottery?
It's all mumbo jumbo.

I've done the Ouja Board,Tarot Cards and a Seance..we tried conjuring up the Goat of Mendes.
Nothing happened,it's all a load of horse shit.

I follow logic and science

What about small, large & extra large? 🤔

Leviticus 19:33,34 – “When a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not mistreat them. The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the LORD your God.”

The ignorance in this post is astonishing

🤗

Ofcourse who wants to play with ghosts. 😂
