RE: We Should Practice What Is Preached

While I do appreciate a lot of the context and things in the bible, I personally think this one is misplaced! There are SO many things we are learning and being exposed to today that prove we, beyond a shadow of a doubt, have other skills and abilities that most have lost access to, forgotten or are being blocked from accessing.
There are many such examples, this doc goes into some
While I do think the teachings of the bible are important, we shouldn't interpret them in ways that prevent opening our minds to possibilities. I wouldn't at all classify being able to communicate with someone who has died as satanic or evil.
There are many examples of abilities that we are told are not possible, but clearly are if we stop rejecting them.
I will allow some leeway room -- I have no issues believing that CHILDREN receive signs. And the reason I say that is because (unless instructed by someone else) they're not doing it for nefarious purposes (scamming, manipulating others, etc.). They are also closer to Heaven, in the sense that they are not as tainted by the influences of earth; think babies and how they're able to perceive auras. I believe the more time we spend on earth, the more we lose our heavenly gifts.
But as for adults, it is more difficult. Obviously there were prophets in the Bible, ones chosen by God to receive His word. But herein lays the problem with choosing to believe adults: adults have ulterior motives, and they can lie by CLAIMING to be chosen by God. There are many instances where TV mediums have been able to infer personal details about a person's life just from the context clues they give. When it comes to instances like this, I prefer to simply listen to the Bible as opposed to taking chances...
Yeah, well said! Sadly there are a significant amount of snake oil salesmen out there, claiming to have provenance when they have nothing of the sort. I hope for that family's sake that their information they got was true, because it provides a lot of help with grieving situations like that.
I for sure know what you mean about the abilities of children! My son had it for several years, where he saw the ghost of a man and interacted with him as if he was right there in the room with us. We couldn't perceive it as adults, but he did just as sure as he would talk to me and hold my hand. It was such a wonderful thing to experience!
Very creepy, but interesting 😄 We have yet to experience anything like that with our kids, but again, given how close they are to the other realm, I don't doubt they interact with past lives, etc. I remember you sharing about your son's experience a long time ago, I'm glad I remembered 🙇♀️
Yeah thankfully the ghost was very pleasant, my son was never scared and was fond of sharing things and babbling in conversation to him. It was a very surreal experience and most frequently in one corner of the living room.
