Talking To The Devil

LOL! If it was sin to talk to yourself, what are single people supposed to do? :D I talk to God and often talk aloud (I'm almost deaf and need to hear something lol!) I know God hears me and understands. :) |

It isn't a sin to talk to yourself, crazy but not a sin. If you find yourself answering yourself, that is when you need to worry and get check out. But as far as talking to the devil, Why would anyone in their right mind want to? |

Why are the mentally ill so attracted to religion, compulsively so? |

See here. People do not know very much. I talk outloud a lot. God tells me that it helps me to keep things in proper perspective. God's ways are not like ours. Stop looking or listening to people. Get your eyes and ears on and tuned into Jesus Christ. Why does true believers care what others thinks when others are headed straight for HELL. |

Oh good grief, people have to much time on their hands. Satan is one, not many. He can't be all places at once. If he had time to listen to all of us talk to ourselves (or him) there wouldn't be any time to steal, kill and destroy, now would there. Tell these people it's a sin to comb their hair, and see how many show up to church with bed head. Probably one at the very least... |

lots of people talk to themselves when there frustrated or lonely sometimes.
did you know that you could even be talking to god. that's true. To talk to the devil you have to do it deliberately. to talk to your self is just thinking out loud its not a sin |

Most people occasionally talk to themselves when they are alone. I do not believe that Satan can read our thoughts so in that since, when you talk to yourself, Satan can hear your thoughts and so can God. However, this sounds like a myth or wives tale which the Bible warns us to pay no attention to. Sorting through your thoughts out loud is by no means a sin in and of itself and is normal to engage in sometimes when you are by yourself.:) |

You can talk to the devil...Jesus did when he was tempted. He quoted scriptures and the devil was defenseless! |

Talking to yourself is normal. If you reply to yourself, then you have problems :)) |

If you feel that when youre talking (and no one else is around) that youre talking to God, then NO youre not talking to the devil.
There is no such thing as talking to self if you are part of the Body of Christ? Youre ether talking to God or the world. James 4:3-5 helps us to understand and realize that we should only be asking and speaking to the Lord. |

If you don't show God that you love Him by keeping all of the ten commandments, then God can't be your God can He? He does not shack up. So, even IF you think you are a nice person, but fail to prove it to God, then even your prayers would not be to the truthful God, but to the evil spirit. Just as people thought the spirit that came on the day of Pentecost was the Holy Spirit and were fooled, as was Paul, so can people who call themselves 'Christian'. This is serious stuff! |

Lonely people speak to themselves, no crime as long as ya'll don't answer yourself LOL.
No your not talking to devil you don't need to do that he's always making suggestions to you it's whether you listen and respond, thats evil. Speaking to yourself generally has nothing demonic attached to it although under stress/drugs/depression/illness/ medication is different. |

i think the saying may be refering to the fact that devils and angels cant read your mind so they only know what say outloud. if you read Gensis you see God talks to Himself and we are made in His image. its only natural. if we dont talk to ourselves outloud there is always an internal voice. |

I would take that comment personally if I were you. That sounds like someone is calling you the devil. |

Shirley, you scare me, seriously! |

Frank. Thanks. I know what you mean. But saying "I rebuke you in the name of Jesus" is talking to him isn't it? I don't think Jesus was givinh place to the devil when he spoke to him several times in the wilderness. It's not that we are just having casual conversation with him. I believe we have every right to tell him to get lost and quote him some Scripture. |

No, you are not speaking with the devil unless you consider yourself to be demon possessed. |

I think that's more of an urban legend or "old wives tale" than truth.
I can remember my grandmother saying something similar a long time ago.
However, she talked to herself constantly.
I need to do this, don't forget to add the baking soda that, where are the keys to the house, seniors are not the only ones that talk to themselves.
She also looked at herself in the mirror and talked to herself, that hair is a fright, that lipstick is too bright, my earrings don't match. |

John,
Respectfully, the word says not to "give place" unto the devil and that we cannot be a partaker of the Lord's table and that of devils.
Many get lifted up and rail out against the devil.
That is foolish as without Christ the devil could tear them apart.
They better just be thankful that the Lord is merciful of their ignorance and just limit their words to "I rebuke you in Jesus name."

There is no Scripture to tell us it is a sin to talk to ourselves or the devil. To say that when you talk to yourself you are talking to the devil is just someones silly opinion. |

My,where do folks get some of the wierd things they say? I can't imagine any church leader saying something like that and I don't find it in the bible.Once in a while I will say aloud now where did I put whatever? Now I'm certainly not talking to the devil.When I talk to the devil I say I rebuke you Satan in the name of Jesus or get thee behind me Satan.Once when I was really angry with Satan for attacking my granddaughter I said I hate you satan and if you were human I would kill you. |
