I do agree with Jess and Dave as I said in my posting 'This thread is not what the bible tells people to do, its merely asking people if they dont believe or if they do' Elaine x

Well you must be a remarkable person Anne:)

Hi Anne! Apologies if I've offended anyone! Debby

Thank you Elaine, yes I think most people who are religious and I come into that catogary, though we cant prove there is afterlife we hope there is so we can be with the people we love when we die! I often think of my Grandmother who I was especially close to and hope that when I die she will help me pass through and of course my brother who died 5 years ago and my Dad I want to see them again they were special and surely we can but hope that we will again be with them!. Davex

Anne Your point of view is welcome and I respect your view, however If there is a god, then I believe he is a loving god, who would accept anyone into his kingdom regardless of religion etc. A loving god would not find any of his children detestable....as the bible quotes you posted. I am a spiritulist, I believe there is a god/higher energy/spirit. As a spiritulist I accept anyones religion, we dont go round and preach, and tell others they are wrong and they are bad for their beliefs. My nan was christian, yet she still saw her dead mother who gave her a message which proved right the next day. Many different religions mean different things to different people. But the first rule is to be accepting of peoples beliefs, and not calling the believers of those religions detestable, sourcerers and witches. Its often the quoting of religions that start wars Elaine x

Anne I think you contradict yourself here? In one statement you say anyone can quote from the bible and get it to say what they want it to say! In another you say I have quoted from bible to say why I dont believe in mediums?! Davex

Being a born sceptic, with no religious beliefs, I once did a study of them, travelling quite widely in England and Wales armed with notebook and tape-recorder. Over a period of 5 years I saw hundreds of them 'perform' and most were spoofs or self-deluded. I did, however, meet up with a handful who I could not fault and was convinced that 'They had something'. When they come up with specific information relating to dead relatives that I only found out by subsequent enquiries, then I begin to take notice. I even paid £75 to a hypnotist in Aylesbury to have myself regressed, having witnessed others being regressed. The current series on ITV, as you would expect with Phillip Schofield, is titillating rubbish Those who denounce the paranormal as bogus or rubbish, yet who have done no research, are twits. Len

Yes Anne but this is getting into a religious argument and like Elaine stated these have caused wars in the past.All the thread is about is do you believe in Psyhcics and mediums and the afterlife! we dont need to quote the bible not needed! Davex

anne Im not calling you a detestable, sourcerer or a witch But the bible quote calls us that. as said before, I respect your belief but I find it sad that other peoples religions and beliefs are quoted in this way as said before, the thread was about mediums etc, not what another religion states what we must believe, and it certainly diddnt ask us to call other believers of different religions names

'is there anybody there'!! lol

Knock once for yes and twice for no

Elaine I quoted a passage from the Bible to explain why I did not beleive in mediums. You took it personally, I made not accusation. Annexx

peace man! please don't argue! It's not entertaining to read

No of course not Anne but any christian and I am one myself believes that they will be reunited with there loved ones, is that not the same as afterlife?! Surely you hope to be with your loved ones Anne or do you just believe you will stop breathing die and that will be it? Because I hope that is not what happens and knowing you are christian Anne Im sure that is what you want? Dave

Dave I think you have missed the whole point of this thread. My first statement on this thread was 'I believe in Heaven' Annexx

let's all take comfort in what we beleive. I beleive in chocolate lol

Hi Claire nice to talk to you - I am on a diet so cannot join you on the chocolate - much as I would like to! Annexx

No I havent missed point of thread Anne you have moved it from thread about pyschics mediums to religious argument so think I will not be drawn anymore into it with you now goodnight! Davex.

LOL Bendy & Claire! Can't we get back to the original fascinating subject? Debby P.S. You should never discuss religion or politics!

No one said that Anne (look dave said that without moving his lips) But After your first and fair comment on what you believed in (or not) Three times you asked three different people 'do you never question where the information your daughters give is actually coming from?' 'do you not question where the information you get actually comes from?' 'where do you think the information you were given came from?' Well Anne, you then went on to quote the bible. Stating witchcraft /sourcery etc. Ok you believe its from the devil, thats your belief but remember its calling all of us who do believe,to be devil worshipers and the like. And to disrespect anothers religion like that as said, causes wars. Elaine x
