curiosity killed the cat....

So, I was at the library last week and I saw a book and thought that it would be interesting to read because it is on the topic of one of my favourite things. Jesus. Unfortunately it is written by someone who is seriously misleading people. Her name is Sylvia Browne and the book is "The Mystical Life of Jesus." I know, I know! What am I doing reading something by someone who claims to be a psychic but has rarely if ever been right, claims also to have a "spirit guide" and says that there is no such thing as hell, satan or demons. Some of the statements she makes in this book are just outrageous. For instance, she says, "Since I myself am psychic, perhaps I can recognize the outward appearances of psychic ability more than most. It is perfectly clear to me that Christ manifested psychic powers... But the fact remains that there is overwhelming evidence in the writings about Jesus that he had psychic ability." huh. I guess the fact that Jesus is God, omniscient, omnipresent, and omnipotent would have something to do with that. However, Sylvia doesn't hold that viewpoint. She says that her spirit guide has told her that Jesus was clairaudient and was able to hear and speak with God and that he was first contacted by God when he was four. She claims that his abilities to heal were psychic abilities. But let's go back to the beginning. Not that it's really a big deal but she claims that Jesus was not born in a manger. She claims that Joseph and Mary were both from wealthy "royal" families and that they stayed in an inn. She goes on to say that they would not have been able to present the baby Jesus at the high temple if they were poor because they would not have had the money to gain entry. The most outrageous claim she makes is that Mary was impregnated by Joseph and that Jesus was called by God. This is a woman who claims that we choose our parents when we incarnate. She believes in reincarnation. Her information is so flawed, I mean, she says that Elizabeth, mother of John the baptist, is Mary's sister. The bible says that they are relatives. no mention of them being sisters. I could go on and on with all the lies this woman tells but then, I'd be writing a book so I will just leave it at this: Sylvia Browne is a fraud... you can search her out on youtube and see many of the predictions that she made over the years that have been WRONG. I feel sorry for people who believe that she is a psychic, and agree with her train of thought. I honestly believe that she is being used in the spiritual battle to lure people away from the truth. This is a woman who charges exorbitant fees for "readings" and seminars, claiming to be able to tell you the future or give you "messages from the other side". And example of her complete failure as a psychic is an appearance on the Montel Williams show where she tells Mr. and Mrs. Hornbeck that their missing son, Shaun, is dead and that he had been taken by a dark skinned (but not black) man with dread locks. Later on in that same year, their son was found alive and the man that had kidnapped him was a big fat white guy named Michael Devlin. But don't take my word for it... do some research of your own and see what I mean!
