    The Bible does refer to prophets who foretell things to come. That's psychic any way you wanna cut it.
    Actually, I don't think so. The prophets in the Christian Bible were not people who had some innate power to foretell the future, as psychics seem to claim they are able to do. Rather, the term prophet more properly meant "messenger of God." The role of the prophet was to communicate God's message to the world, or rather more specifically, to the Jews. When the prophet foretold events, he or she was simply communicating what God had told the prophet was coming. Thus it was God who was predicting the future, not the prophet. The power of the prophet was in his/her ability to communicate with God, not some special power to predict the future.
