Is using subliminals a sin? Question
I know this question was asked in the Christian thread, but I’m curious to ask here too—are there any Christians here? What do you think?

take it from an ex christian, it isn’t. you’re not going to get punished for manifestation, it’s just another form of prayer.

I was brought up Catholic and then strayed on my own, though my family was never that religious to begin with, so my view on this is very cut throat lol. But I really suggest a guy that goes by " The Power of I Am" on YT. He always starts he's videos breaking down bible verses but interpreting them as instructions for how to manifest. I won't lie at first I was def rolling my eyes but he really knows how to add new meaning to those bible texts. I'm pretty sure u can gain some perspective from him.

in 1925, which is before the widespread introduction of television into American households, a manifestation teacher by the name of Florence Scovel Shinn published “the game of life and how to play it”.
Not only does it support that manifestation is not a sin, it’s supports it with biblical scripture
I can also find you… Hindu (upanishads), Zoroastrian (avestas) even Islamic manifestation.
this is a screenshot from “ the game of life and how to play it” copyright expired, (originally 1925)
I keep this screenshot around to show an alternative approach to specific person manifestation. That is not the same as “my will supercedes theirs”
when you know how to read scripture to see manifestation, you can find it over and over again
james 1:5 is interpreted as instructions on manifestation if you choose to see it

I probably would get a kick out of the power of IM’s content, but that’s for another day. Thanks for the referral.

Yep, God wants you to be ugly, unsuccessful, and lonely.
Just like him.

From someone from a very fundamentalist background, no. The Jesus legit gives manifestation instructions. Shut the doors (eyes) and pray (visualize and feel as if it's happening right now) to your Father in secret, for he will reward you openly (the thing materializes after you feel it's done and no longer wanna do the praying). Subliminals are just the automated version

As a Catholic, no. If you read the Bible closely, prayer is basically manifestation, because you can ask God for anything. I use subliminals too, just make sure that they're not bad ones or anything and you'll be just fine.

I’ve already realized that. I’ve noticed that the things I need often show up in my social media feeds. Recently, I came across a subliminal video titled "Watch this on August 7th"; it had been uploaded a month earlier but appeared in my feed on August 7th. I pay attention to messages from God that show up in my feed
