Psychic powers are a gift from God not to be abused for selfish reasons but besides how do you know no one hasnt?

@Penny The same way you think you know that God exists.
@Penny The gambling industry is concerned, they only go after cheaters.

@RedBaron you must have never had a psychic experience
RedBaron · M
@Penny That’s irrelevant to your God fantasy.

@RedBaron you must have never had an experience with God either. They say the only way to get to know God is through Jesus. If you open your heart to Jesus then maybe he will make you change your mind

@Penny The only people who say that are Christians. However, we’re not all Christian.

@RedBaron people are people. no need to label everyone
RedBaron · M
@Penny Except that you just did exactly that by bringing up Jesus and proselytizing about opening the heart or some such nonsense.

Since I am Jewish, I don’t recognize Jesus’ divinity.

In Judaism, we recognize him as a man who lived and died, period.

@RedBaron so you mean your mind is closed to any belief that isnt an accepted jewish belief? Did you come to judaism yourself or was brainwashed into it? Sorry to be prying. Just natural reaction.
RedBaron · M
@Penny I was born and raised in a Jewish family. No brainwashing.

The Nazarene’s divinity is diametrically opposed to our theology and beliefs.

Is your mind open to the possibility that the immaculate conception and resurrection are myths?

Those aren’t accepted Christian beliefs, now are they?

@RedBaron im not that kind of Christian
RedBaron · M
@Penny What kind is there who doesn’t accept the foundational beliefs?
Penny · 46-50, F
@RedBaron well. I dont know if it really happenned or not but my mind is open yo the possibility. It really doesnt matter to me. To me jesus is living spirit. Maybe in a supernatural way. Idk. As real as angels. If they were right about them then maybe theres more thats true. Dont know but doesnt matter. I am also a raging schizophrenic when im not medicated so theres that too lol.
