The thing Is I would say Minds eye Is that once a movement Is created be It a religion or whatever the structure remains the same throughout time .

It has to otherwise the walls will tumble . The foundations will crumble .

The meanings behind the words remain the same In an ever changing world . Truth however doesn’t change with the times but what Is essential Is that the truth to begin with needs to be written or spoken of In the first Instance .

If the truth Is not written In the first Instance then what Is written Is as useful as an empty promise .

I only just got the pun in the title ; Talking to the dead; permitted by God or Grave sin... Gosh I am slow..Oh never mind.......

I am connected to consciousness collectively, how could I stop the less carnate aspects of consciousness communicating?

Physically I am the very embodiement of the dead communicating. If you look at me, you see aspects of my Parents, Grand Parents, Great Grandparents and so on all the way back to the murky depths of prime ordial life on this planet.

nothing wrong with being in contact with the other plane of existence around us. As for talking to the dead, nooo..they ignored me when they were alive.
we got eternity to talk, if we talk now we will have nothing to say then. Jk

it dont feel right to me as a christian to seek it same as OBE, though there has been times in my dreams it felt like it...

Most people here believe as I do. That the Bible was written by man, to put fear into the masses. They did not want anyone thinking for themselves back then (and now too). Too many uprisings. The men were smart who wrote the Bible and found many ways to stop the previous blood shed of clan to clan by putting "The fear of God" in them all. Those that didn't conform, were murdered.

So yes, of course, the bible doesn't want anyone talking to the dead. The dead know that the men who wrote that book are full of ** and then people would question the religion and the bible. :) Which is what's happening in the 20th century :)

It's like I read on another thread on the forum; Christianity is so exclusive and doesn't tolerate anyone doing anything different. They want everyone to conform to one mindset... even if it doesn't resonate with you, they demand obedience. Like forcing the square peg into the round hole... suck it up and believe or burn in hell. I just can't get with that kind of ideology.

All three of the Middle Eastern religions that came out of that area are very exclusive. And have some serious, mad as hell God's that can't wait to unleash his wrath on the heathens. That is a real inspiration to the heart to make one want to convert isn't it?

haha I agree Mind's Eye.. I totally agree!

I'd guess that's why they don't try to use inspiration to convert people, they use FEAR instead. Do it our way or ELSE!

Sadly too that fear is stronger than love or inspiration. :(

I know there are a lot of folks who comminicate with spirits on this forum; So what do you think about what the Bible has to say on the subject?

God forbid it as a protection for us. Lying spirits deceive mankind, they did back then and they are still doing it today.

When people ignore God's guidance, they get into trouble and are led by satan by the nose.

Sorry, it's the truth.
