Just sayin'
Here is what the bible sayIs hypnosis good for a christian?According to here it's not: Should a Christian ever get involved with hypnosis/hypnotism? | GotQuestions.org what are your thoughts?
Why?
How do the Jehovah’s Witnesses justify these unbiblical doctrines? First, they claim that the church has corrupted the Bible over the centuries; thus, they have re-translated the Bible into what they call the New World Translation. The Watchtower Bible and Tract Society altered the text of the Bible to make it fit their false doctrine, rather than basing their doctrine on what the Bible actually teaches. The New World Translation has gone through numerous editions, as the Jehovah’s Witnesses discover more and more Scriptures that contradict their doctrines.

I am far from an expert on the bible But it took me 3 minutes to find those verses i qouted, i can not say they explain it fully, but it gives an idea of what a christian can or cant do, in my understanding anywayPeople select the verses they like anyway
Genesis starts telling us that we should live a vegan life
IF people don't live the vegan lifestyle from Genesis
THEN they need not tell others what they should do
How is hypnosis divination?Here is what the bible say
Deuteronomy 18:9-13
“When you come into the land that the Lord your God is giving you, you shall not learn to follow the abominable practices of those nations. There shall not be found among you anyone who burns his son or his daughter as an offering, anyone who practices divination or tells fortunes or interprets omens, or a sorcerer or a charmer or a medium or a necromancer or one who inquires of the dead, for whoever does these things is an abomination to the Lord. And because of these abominations the Lord your God is driving them out before you. You shall be blameless before the Lord your God,
Leviticus 19:31
“Do not turn to mediums or necromancers; do not seek them out, and so make yourselves unclean by them: I am the Lord your God.
Galatians 5:22-23
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.
The word hypnosis is not exactly in the verse, but it lays under divination (as a technique to recieve knowledge you should not have)
Hypnosis makes you feel very comfortable, ears listening. You start entering this state when someone is saying something that you agree with. For example if I'm telling you what you want to hear you become more suggestible. The technical term for this is 'Psychobabble'. An expert will quickly determine what makes you feel comfortable and safe and will use this to help you relax, just like a salesperson. For some people they are more suggestible in the presence of an authority figure. For others they are more suggestible if the voice is comforting and warm...and so forth.Is hypnosis good for a christian?According to here it's not: Should a Christian ever get involved with hypnosis/hypnotism? | GotQuestions.org what are your thoughts?
Hypnosis in it self is not divination as such but it was the closes i could find in the bible that explain thatas a christian there is certain things one should not do.How is hypnosis divination?
How about anæsthesia, or conscious sedation? For that matter, what about sedatives or tranquilizers?

I hope you are doing your own research though. Rather than taking what is given you and accepting it.
You need to have a Bible study,
That way, you can ask as many questions as you like, and weight the answers in your mind.
However, you also need to make up your mind about what you learn, rather than, as you put it... "going back and forth."
You know where that gets you right?
Just take a position in your room, now move forward, then back, then forward, then back again... Repeat that as long as you like. Then consider where you have gotten.
That's right Frank. Nowhere.
Is that where you want to be with these questions?
You are welcomed.Thanks for the hypnotism link.
Thank you@Conscious thoughts you know.. You are not Christian, but from your posts here, you seem to understand quite well - better than 85-90% of those who call themselves Christian, what is involved in using the Bible to understand God's view on matters.
You are absolutely correct! One must know how to apply Bible principles. One does not need a law stipulating every iota on earth. What book could hold all those laws, and when something new comes up, is the author going to need to write a "Do not..." for that too?
The scriptures say, "But solid food belongs to mature people, to those who through use have their powers of discernment trained to distinguish both right and wrong." (Hebrews 5:14)
Perception is a quality of a spiritually mature person. Humility is one of the stepping stone to that.
