Charlie i see it as compassion, love, and discernment......the Holy Spirit loving through us.....look at how Jesus wept for Martha and Mary at the time of Lazareth death....to sense the hurts and hearst of others to feel there pain,there joy etc.....it all stem's out of love....love in Christ Sherril......:)

The term empath seems more like a native journey believed that you leave your body and follow your guide in the spirit realm to reveal certain issues about your life. I would liken it to a soothsayer (palm reader) with a crystal ball performing a seance. Probably have better results just using a ouija board if you really want to play with the demonic world.

So basically, If I am a professing follower of Yeshua (Christ), any time I am confronted with someone using the terms empath - soothsayer - palm reader - wicca(n) - pagan - druid - a reference to the ouija board... I either am walking away from it (them) or rebuking it!!

In my opinion, the term empath alongside Christian is as about as blasphemous as the Adversary (Satan) taking communion to remember Christ and how He defeated the Adversary by conquering death at the CROSS!!

well actually, no. that would not be what people are referring to here as an empath. I don't know when Christians started using the term 'empath', but maybe they picked it up while watching Star Trek

the descriptive terms you are using for 'empath', describe a fortune teller...not an empath

reading the thread, it seems there is misunderstanding because of the use of that word

if a person is more sensitive than another, they may very well pick up on what is going on inside of the people around them. this is a person who feels more than others...not a witch or fortune teller or whatever

frankly, I think it is a natural phenomena when a person does not involve themself with the occult or pursue being able to 'read' others

my own thoughts on the gifts of the Holy Spirit, are that God bestows whatever gift on a person, according to their nature and perhaps natural abilities...not necessairly every time, but often a person will not even know what they have buried within them until God reveals it to them

if anyone is cautious about supernatural things, that would be me. but as a Christian who is not a cessationist, we SHOULD be aware of the unseen world around us and we SHOULD be able to discern before walking into situations that are not good for us

it remains that having 'empathic' abilities is not demonic just because someone uses a term they picked up without understanding how the world views it

there is nothing to be afraid of. if something is not of God, prayer and having an honest heart before God usually will sort out what is going on. no need to label everything as demonic

if I can predict the future, what would I see?

gazing into the crystal ball ...

there will be a male who will say "if sandwich is a girl, I'll marry her", and given the extreme popularity of the word "sandwich" or "kitchen", it will be so common, that if someone is crazy enough, they will consider marriage for sandwich

let me gaze further, I see, just like the LGBQT sin-central, anyone who oppose the marriage with sandwiches, will be considered a bigot and intolerant. Sandwich marriages will be legalized, and there will be unparalleled insanity

good enough crystal ball, that's enough future forecast as for now

or, in short, empathy is perfectly ok, but don't be deceived by psychics, charatins, and those who practice the occults,

but Demi can be trusted because she repented, that's a different case.
