Bible Question:  fortune tellers and psychics in the new testament??
Bible Answer:  Y2J SwFl
Yes fortune telling is talked about in the New Testament. Nave’s Topical Bible includes it with sorcery and lists.
By Simon Magus. Acts 8:9; Acts 8:11
By Elymas. Acts 13:8
By the damsel at Philippi. Acts 16:16
By vagabond Jews. Acts 19:13
By sons of Sceva. Acts 19:14-15
Nave’s also lists Matt 24:24 and 2 Thes 2:9 as people involved in fortune telling.
We see strong warning about being involved with in Gal 5:19-21 where it talks about forutne telling in the term sorcery.
Galatians 5:19-21
“Now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are: immorality, impurity, sensuality, [20] idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, disputes, dissensions, factions, [21] envying, drunkenness, carousing, and things like these, of which I forewarn you, just as I have forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. “

The old testament give many cautions about fortune telling. All fortune telling is either a hoax or involves familiar spirits. Both of which involve deceit.
