Talking to the Dead
is
Forbidden by God.
This includes -
Talking to your dead relatives.
Even though
we all are tempted to do that.
This Page will Explain.
Note:
Most Christians
do not know this information.
Note:
It is also forbidden to contact
Mary & Heavenly Saints.

The following video
will clearly explain
what God says on this subject.
Doreen Virtue
used to be
a famous New Age teacher.
Now
she is a dedicated Christian.
I would say that
she is an expert on this subject.
She knows
the ins and outs
of
WHY
talking to the dead is wrong.
Doreen |
Doreen is - now - a
Faithful Follower of Jesus Christ.
Doreen is concerned that
lots of Christians
talk to the dead
(necromancy)
and think that it is ok.
I encourage you to listen to this entire video.
I endorse this video. It is excellent.
Disclaimer: I do not always agree with Doreen Virtue and Alisa Childers in their videos. Sometimes I disagree with their positions.
A Key Verse
Deuteronomy 18:11 ESV
Deuteronomy 18:11
clearly says
Talking to the Dead
is sinful.
As part of a list of forbidden sins....
verse 11 says...
"or a charmer or a
medium
or a necromancer
or
one who inquires of the dead."
In the above verse, it lists....
1. A Medium - who talks to the dead.
2. A necromancer - who talks to the dead.
3. One who inquires of the dead - who talks to the dead.
THREE Times in that verse....
God forbids
"talking to dead people."
Three times - so we don't miss it.
Notes:
Some Bible Translations use the word "spiritist" instead of necromancer.
Charmer is one who casts magic spells.

Many people
will get convicted watching this video.
Conviction
is used by God to help guide us toward right living.
I have a Christian friend who used to look forward
to talking to dead relatives in her dreams.
She liked to ask them questions.
Now she has been educated about such things.
She has asked God to forgive her for doing it,
and she has renounced this practice.
Quick
Video
on this topic.
Note:
Demonic forces are aware of things
about your loved one's earthly life
and can use those things
to fool you into thinking
you are communicating with your loved one.
Have questions?
Isaiah 8:19
tells us to go straight to God to ask HIM -
not go to the dead...
God will answer us
in his own time and in his own way.
Isaiah 8:19 says,
"When they say to you, “Consult the mediums and the spiritists who whisper and
mutter,” should a people not consult their God?
Should they consult the dead in behalf of the living?"

First Highlighted Comment
Thank you so much! I lost my first husband at 24, and for the last 11 years, I have had dreams where he felt real. I can clearly see how the enemy has tried to tempt me in these areas. It can be so confusing! Thank you for this!
Second
Oh my, this is so convicting! The human side of us wants so much to believe we can communicate with our loved ones who have passed on. Thank you so much for addressing this important issue from a Biblical perspective!
Third
This was a fantastic.. I used to go to my girlfriend‘s grave and talk to her all the time not knowing that I could’ve opened up a door to the devil …I am also now hooked up to the new ESV audio Bible. Thank you.
Fourth
I've had a son die when he was 11 from a kidney disease. In the 12 years since then I've remembered seeing Micah in a dream several times. But I've never interpreted that as him actually coming to me, but rather as just memories of him being put into that dream. As hard as it has been to have lost him, I don't want to dishonor him or
the Lord in trying to seek out some sort of special contact with him.
He knew Jesus, and so I have a great hope to spend eternity with him. So I certainly look forward to speaking with him again in eternity. At the moment, though,
I'm content, knowing that God's in control.
Now that
we KNOW that every act of talking to the dead
is classified as sin -
If we have been doing that...
Let's repent
and
refocus and
set our actions on obedience!
A Quick Section on
Joni Lamb
Introduction Note:
I have never watched Joni Lamb.
Joni Lamb of Daystar television
has
recently said that
her dead husband gave her a message.
My response...
God tells me that the Bible is my standard of truth.
God forbids talking to the dead.
Therefore, I know that
Joni was not hearing from her dead husband.
-
Any Christian teacher or leader who promotes
talking to the dead in any way
is committing sin and wrongly guiding people to sin.
-
Please join me to pray for
Joni to realize the truth.
