Why are you (still) a Christian?

Excellent, Bucky. Not only that but God doesn't see into the future like a fortune teller because the future doesn't exist. We can look into the past because it once existed but we can't look into the future. Fortune telling is either fake or demonic deception. God and demons can better see what could happen in the future than we can so they can deceive us - just like demons can more accurately recount the past and so deceive us into thinking spirits, that is ghosts or shades (shadows) are once living now dead humans.

Fascinating, isn't it?!

Let's see . . . what was I going to say? Oh, I know, case in point. At the trial of Jesus when they covered his head and slapped him they told him to prophecy to them who had done it. That didn't require seeing into the future. Prophecy means to proclaim, for example, something God can see will happen or will make happen. Like, for someone to say "I'm going to get ice cream" and then doing it, or "He's going to get ice cream." How did you know? "He always gets ice cream this time of day." Ezekiel prophesied to the wind. Ezekiel 37:9-10

ETA: But you were wrong about it not being a prophecy of Jesus. Sure, some think that. It was thought that the third son of Isaiah by a Jewish maiden who may have been Isaiah's second wife. Ahaz' son, Hezekiah. But it wasn't because the prophecy was given during Ahaz' reign and that would have made Hezekiah at least 9 years old. (Isaiah 7:1; 2 Kings 16:2; 18:1-2)

Others think Immanuel was Isaiah's second son, Maher-shalal-hash-baz. Yes, I said Maher-shalal-hash-baz. (Isaiah 8:1-4; 7:14, 16; 8:18) That's a close fit, but Isaiah's wife was a prophetess, not a maiden, and she was already the mother of Shear-jashub. (Isaiah 7:3; 8:3)

Now we're going to get into an argument about maiden and virgin.

God and demons can better see what could happen in the future than we can so they can deceive us - just like demons can more accurately recount the past and so deceive us into thinking spirits, that is ghosts or shades (shadows) are once living now dead humans.


Can you tell me how demons came to be?
