No...a 6th sense and family line having that 6th sense is absolutely not from God. Too many people play with things they do not understand, have had no teaching on and assume rather than comprehend....let alone pay attention to all the warnings in the NT regarding deception and the physical record in the OT that testifies to just how off even so called prophets can be.
If you truly believe that evil experiences are part of God's will, we are worlds apart in how we understand the scriptures.
God permits many things because of sin....but He does not send evil other then as judgement...enough examples of that in both testaments....if anyone wants to have a closer look.
Most Christians these days seem to have the sensitivity of a rock when it comes to truth...and then we have those who accept any and all phenomena as being from God
You just simply are not using scripture as a guage for experinece or you would not continue to believe that gifts are advanced through families ... that is actually what is called a familiar spirit
My main experience regarding this topic, is that Christians go by experience and not the Bible.
You aren't going to get any other sort of exprience exchange out of me because I know better...how many times did Jesus tell someone not to relate what had happened?
There is a net waiting to tangle the feet of those who do not heed scripture.....it will cause you to fall and be taken captive ... don't take this personally...I am speaking generally
I suppose you will disagree...I'm fine with that
Know that no one on this earth actually can comprehend how Holy God is or how evil the devil is.
Thats just the thing. Even small children can pick up on spirits, some animals can sense them. We are spirits in bodies and Christians' whole experience is in both worlds, this world and a spiritual realm. This is exactly what I was saying from the start. It is not demonic, nor is it a demonic gift to be able to pick up or sense spirits, in fact, I think the earthly world and things of the world would deaden one's sense of there being a spiritual world in the first place. That's why there are so many carnal minded people who don't know anything about there being a spiritual world. This flesh is all they see and they think this is all there is.
Having said that, I just mentioned two scriptures of how just and unjust people can have similar gifts, be from the same family, be Christians or have received gifts from God. It is not always how you would say 'familiar spirits being passed down from generations' which is, of course, not of God. Where there is God, there is always an imitation, and the carnal demonic way is with demonic spirits. I apparently had an ancestor who was a witch doctor and some of my extended family still delve in things and have 'spirits' passed down who 'protect'.
So, I am aware that not all are from God but having a sixth sense is natural, in the sense that we are part spirit, part flesh, and living in two worlds filled with spirits and flesh, and we can often be aware of and sense spirits as even babies and small children.
As for the argument that God sends evil only for judgement or because of sin, Job was being tested not judged. His friends happened to think he had some un confessed sin too. They couldn't comprehend why God would allow such. God happened to allow us insight into behind the scenes in that story but that is not the only case where He allowed something in order to test His children. Just because all we see is the flesh, doesn't mean there is no spirit world behind it.
All examples in the Bible can show the two differences. All examples in a Christian's walk can show the two differences. And all things - not just some - work together for good to those who are called. God is still in control of everything to do with His elect, from their lineage to their birth to their calling and walk. Everything. Everything is for a reason - even something evil or bad happening to us. We can certainly bring more upon ourselves but a sovereign, omnipotent, omniscient God knows the beginning from the end.
I agree that there are all kinds of Christians, some who disregard everything, and some who accept everything. When you have the Holy Spirit in you, He will show you all things that you need to know, rightly dividing The Word to find the Truth. The very elect will not be deceived for God will show them if they are straying from the Truth and will not have them lost.
As for using experience to gauge right or wrong, it can happen, one can rely too much on experience and disregard The written Word. I am aware of that. However, in this day and age, the written Word must be in us manifesting the Spirit of God, and you cannot have that without experiencing experience. They must correlate, be in agreement, and the Spirit in you must show you right from wrong in the Word. Direct revelation.
You didn't need to tell specific experiences, having said that you find Christians rely on experience too much is sufficient enough to get an idea of where you are coming from in your opinion.
