ACTS 16:16

 

Q: So reading that an evil spirit has given the woman powers of divination, should we attribute

 some validity to people who claim to have this power today?

 

The girl was either (a) possessed, (b) mad, or (c) a ventriloquist. Assuming there is a real spirit possessing

 her, I would not want to rule out the possibility of such things occurring today. This is especially in light

 of current stories from Christian missionaries working in developing countries. Also, see Revelation 20:3.
