"...... a publicist who claims a "devout lifelong Christian" is also "a clairvoyant, empathic psychic
medium and psychic investigator with consultation on more than 100 missing person and cold case files on his resume."
Troy Griffin claims he communicates with people who have died and is using his gifts to help authorities "solve the unsolvable cases where tracks had run cold." In fact, he calls this his life's work.
The trouble with this type of prophetic ministry is that it violates Scripture. I have no doubt Griffin is talking to spirits—familiar spirits who know everything about the deceased person.
Why these familiar spirits would cooperate in solving crimes, I do not know. What I do know is necromancy—which Merriam-Webster defines as "conjuration of the spirits of the dead for purposes of magically revealing the future or influencing the course of events"—is an abomination to the Lord. Deuteronomy 18:9-13 says:
"When you enter into the land which the Lord your God gives you, you must not learn to practice the abominations of those nations. There must not be found among you anyone who makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire, or who uses divination, or uses witchcraft,
or an interpreter of omens, or a sorcerer, or one who casts spells, or a spiritualist, or an occultist, or a necromancer. For all that do these things are an abomination to the Lord and because of these abominations the Lord your God will drive them out from before you. You must be blameless before the Lord your God."
That is crystal clear.
Griffin's publicist claims he kept his psychic gifts "in the closet," for fear of being ostracized by his Christian community. He counts pastors, Christian authors and other strict religious devotees as part of his beloved family and insists he's a devout believer.
"God gave me this gift. I didn't create it on my own," Griffin says, speaking of his "psychic calling."
Of course, he's accustomed to Christian leaders disagreeing with him—but he is quick to answer that a Christian's job is to love, accept and preach to all people and not just those who suit the conventional paradigm."

COMMENTARY:
Did he actually say ..."a Christian's job is to love, accept and preach to all people and not just those who suit the conventional paradigm."....?....More PSYCHO-BABBLE dripping verbally into Christendom as an excuse to bring in every possible heresy under the guise of "love". ....this is a logical extension of the FALSE DOCTRINE of the state of the dead.....for if you believe they float off to heaven when they "die" (rather than are dead awaiting resurrection day) then why would you not try to communicate with them? One FALSE DOCTRINE leads to another...
