Here’s a NEW topic: I hope somebody even cares.  I saw a program on TV today about a hypnotist, and it got me to wondering about it. I’ve read in the past that hypnotism is a demonic thing and Christians should never do it, etc. I wonder what really is the truth about it. It is truly spooky. Any ideas? Izzy

I would think that it puts a person into a situation where someone else's suggestion is accepted.  Isn't it the power of suggestion that hypnotism is all about.  That puts a person under someone elses power and it is likely that they would be a Christian.  Even if they were we should be relying on God and not some other person.  I think the whole thing opens a person up to major spiritual warfare.  I have heard people say that if a person is a "born again" Christian then they can't be possessed by a demon but it sure seems to me that under some kind of hypnotic trance a demon could take control.  Not something I'd want to dabble in - that's for sure.  Laura
