Do you think it is okay for Christian to have an interest in the paranormal or watch horror movies?

I am Christian and I believe in the paranormal. I don't do tarot cards or witchcraft

    The freedom that Christ gives set you free from sin, death, corruption why would you want to honor the devil by watching what is unclean plz read

    Would you continue an adulterous affair because Jesus set you free or would you not drink the cup of the demons and God’s cup?

    Some years after those Christians in Ephesus had destroyed their books on magic, the apostle Paul wrote: “We have a wrestling . . . against the wicked spirit forces.” (Ephesians 6:12) Paul urged Christians: “Put on the complete suit of armor from God that you may be able to stand firm against the machinations [crafty acts, footnote] of the Devil.” (Ephesians 6:11) That advice is still valid. Christians must fortify their spiritual defenses in order to stay out of the reach of wicked spirits. “Above all things,” stressed Paul, “take up the large shield of faith, with which you will be able to quench all the wicked one’s burning missiles.” (Ephesians 6:16) A person strengthens his faith through Bible study. (Romans 10:17; Colossians 2:6, 7) Hence, regular Bible study helps us to develop faith that serves as a bulwark against the influence of wicked spirits.​—Psalm 91:4; 1 John 5:5.

    If you really are a Christian, I say you should already this: you can do anything you want to do... you should just know that not everything is good for you. Do not seek self-indulgence or pleasure for the sake of pleasure; it's a trap. What good is it to absorb made up horror movies? Isn't there enough real horror in the world? It's wrong to even mention what the wicked do in private... let alone plaster it on the big screen.

    I watch paranormal shows because demons have started to manifest in the world and to me watching them is like watching the news. I'm keeping watch as Jesus commanded. 

    (Also: what do you call someone who peeks through a window and watches people in their bedrooms having sex? A peeping Tom or a pervert. What about people looking through the "window" of their TV screens into the bedrooms of people having sex? What should we call them?)

    I don't do well with the "is it okay" questions. But if that's you, that's you. If you allow it it's not something I would judge you for, not that I need to judge people for everything anyway. (Romans 14)

    I'm generally astonished when I hear that one of the brainwashed christians has an interest outside of reading their Bible.  Good for you.

    You can watch whatever you want.  There is liberty in the Lord Jesus Christ.  Just understand that no dead people are able to hang around as "ghosts".  The dead are in heaven or hell.  There are devils that can pretend to be dead people, in order to try and deceive you.  Here is what is true:  The Lord Jesus Christ is God, and He loves you.  Believing in the Lord Jesus Christ means being forgiven all sins past and future, and means going to heaven and not hell.  Death leads to immediate heaven or hell, and it is too late to be saved, after death.  All believers still sin.  See 1 John 1:8.  To be in heaven and not hell, believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, who is God and who died on the cross and shed His blood to pay for all of our sins in full, and who was buried, and who resurrected from the dead.  The only way to avoid hell is by believing in the Lord Jesus Christ, without adding any of your own works.  See Romans 4:5, 1 Corinthians 15:3-4, and John 3:16.
