No, its not. THere were many men and women, in the bible, who used some sort of psychic abilities. We even see this in the new testament, where Paul recognizes 3 (or was it six?) daughters who had psychic abilities. This new testmaent recognition proves that, even after Christ, Godly psychics still existed

I say psychics because many prophets or prophetesses basically had, in modern terms, psychic abilities. Same thing, just differnet wording.

Well all prophecy from God has long ago ceased. So anything else out there is not of God but rather of the devil.

Thats conclusive

Answer by Hal Roach
So when Joesph is having prophetic dreams in the Old Testament, or when Christians are claiming that the Book of Revelation will happen in the future, then it’s “from the holy spirit”. But when other people do it, it’s a “sin”. Gee, how convenient.

Neither clairvoyance nor sin exist. Now that I am at Level 5 and have unlimited answers I can waste one like this pointing out the obvious.

None of the above.
Just complete nonsense — nobody is “clairvoyant.”

Seriously. It’s proven-false nonsense.

Peace.

Only Christians are allowed to predict the future in their religion. Even then, they have to wait thousands of years for the outcome.

Divination is wrong. Trying to see the future so one knows what to do.

Prophecy is when one is told the future at the promptings of the Holy Spirit.

This scripture highlights the fact that even in Bible times all prophesying was not from God.

Jeremiah 14:14 And Jehovah went on to say to me: “Falsehood is what the prophets are prophesying in my name. I have not sent them, nor have I commanded them or spoken to them. A false vision and divination and a valueless thing and the trickiness of their heart they are speaking prophetically to YOU people.

The following scriptures shows that prophesying was done away with, it no longer comes from God.

1 Corinthians 13: 8 Love never fails. But whether there are [gifts of] prophesying, they will be done away with; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will be done away with.

These scriptures show that spirit mediums and foretellers of events we wrong in the eyes of Jehovah.

Leviticus 19:31 “‘Do not turn yourselves to the spirit mediums, and do not consult professional foretellers of events, so as to become unclean by them. I am Jehovah YOUR God.

2 Kings 21:6 And he made his own son pass through the fire, and he practiced magic and looked for omens and made spirit mediums and professional foretellers of events. He did on a large scale what was bad in Jehovah’s eyes, to offend him.

2 Kings 23:24 And also the spirit mediums and the professional foretellers of events and the teraphim and the dungy idols and all the disgusting things that had appeared in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem Jo·si´ah cleared out, in order that he might actually carry out the words of the law that were written in the book that Hil·ki´ah the priest had found at the house of Jehovah.

The Holy Spirit is the one that inspired men to write God’s Word. It tells about events that are going to happen in the future. The mysteries have been revealed to us in the age of grace through the Apostle Paul who wrote 13 book in the NT. Romans 16:25 Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began, Romans 16:26 But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith: www.itchyear.org

It is not a sin and it does come from the holy spirit. Sometimes God wants us to see something in advance so that we can prepare our souls for the painful event that will happen, that’s just one example of why God allows clairvoyance. A member of my family had an awful dream that someone beloved was dead and in that same week their sibling died of a sudden stroke and that same feeling of deep sadness and loss – the one in the dream – came about even stronger. In another dream this sibling, all dressed in white, told them to trust God and that all was well.

Non of this seems like sinful to me, but something only the Holy Spirit could provide.
