This is almost funny if it is serious. Good luck with that, cousin.

I don't think the Bible talks about not developing psychic powers but it probably talks about not commiserating with evil spirits and sources.

Twilight, not bright nor dark, good nor bad.
And to think I wasted my money on those ads for x-ray glasses I found in the back of a lot of my comic books.

I think the best use of the Bible in this case is to use it to give your cousin a dope slap....oh, and tequila is more reliable.

Gad, you are a riot. Do you have anything else to worry about?

Point out to your cousin his desires are that of a sexual predator, Jesus said he's committed adultery in his heart, point out such a thing would be forbidden of a satanist so good for him for demonstrating the moral dementedness that Christians will allow and excuse of themselves, and point out telekinesis doesn't exist. It's not real.

Would he want a random stranger to strip him naked via telekinesis? if not, then he shouldn't do it to another person.

On the other hand, if it's with a willing partner, I see no reason why he can't try. Good luck with that, by the way.

Pretty silly,but, IF he can develop such powers,
he will be so rich and famous, he can get anything
he wants.

Tell him to come over to my place, and I'll teach him how. The fee will be $20 000, but please know that I'm only 99% successful. He may fall into that rare 1%.

Sadly, even after James Randi reveals to the world hes a fraud.

That was, of course, the decent thing to do,
rather than sponsoring more superstition and
magical thinking in society.

People are pathetically easy to fool with supernatural
nonsense now, imagine how much easier it was
2000 yrs ago,say.

I am confident I could become their god back then by doing nithing more than simple magic tricks.


I was on a flight from LA to Hong Kong one time,
and amused myself part of the way, thinking it
is a time machine and I am going to ancient Egypt.

What would I take-all i get is one suitcase, and carry on.

Seeds, of course! Corn, beans, lots of good stuff.
Gadgets of various sorts, lenses, pocket knife, mirror, prism,
some medicines.....

But then I spoilt it by thinking, yeah, and when you
threaten someone's power, you will get tortured to
death.

Lets not go play god? :D

An acquaintance told me of two teachers at a native
village in Alaska, who thought a good practical joke
would be to make big strap-on bird feet out of high
density styrofoam, and go about in the fresh snow
at night.

The commotion and panic to such an extent that
they decided to defuse it by confessing.

They got a good beating for their trouble. and
had to leave the state in the end.

If you remembed the stuff for green and purple fire Im not sure what would happen. Your Pharaoh says they are a god, but I don't see them levitating, reading minds, or making things vanish. Would they even oppose David Copperfield if he made the sphynx vanish? Would they fight or bow before their lord if they saw Criss Angel walk on water then levitate himself several feet in the air?
Probably just depends on how its sold. You can pull a rat from someones ear to save them, or threaten if you took it out you can put it back in.

I think demons can give people psychic powers.Because of Acts 16:16-18.So what ever power you look to develop.Be it divination or telekinesis.I think demons can do it.
