Is Talking To The Dead A Sin?

[@BeMoreAwareGodWatches]

I just had to repent because I did seek out a medium to reach my brother who committed suicide a week ago and I was just wanting to hear that he was at peace but instead of turning to God I turn to demons unknowingly and I needed to repent and I feel terrible that I did it and I won’t do it again. I think a lot of people get deceived into believing they’re really talking to their deceased loved ones and instead of turning to the Bible I committed a sin which is abominable to the Lord that is more scary than anything to me so I’m so grateful for this message

I believe in demons. I believe there is a reason why god tells us to stay away from evil. However, I've been saved and baptized so I've never had anyone but the holy spirt talk to me through god's word. If I ever get a strange feeling about what I'm feeling or thinking, I simply pray to god to protect me from evil. My dad always taught me if you ever feel scared if there's any evil around alls you have to do is pray and say out loud "In Jesus name, get out of here"

Being connected to your spirit family is through God it's not a sin and no one will ever be able to tell me different because God let me know myself and no evil spirits are talking to any of us! This video infuriates me but I'm not worried about it at the same time because I know those who know know bigger than anything what we know of love and divinity!

What about Samuel 28 where the women with the familiar spirits brings up samuel and he talks to saul? I know that necromancy is a sin and an abomination to God, but this page from Samuel proves that atleast some of the time when you are talking to a dead person it may actuallybe that person you think it is from the other side.

I do think demons can speak too so that’s why I prayed every day for HIS will and guidance.

Human emotions are a funny thing, so talking to a grave sometimes helps to get a load of your mind. Having said that, it is really a waste of time, because they cannot hear you. Anyway, why would you want to talk to the dead when we have a living Saviour who is also our great high priest and advocate in Heaven. He can hear and can sympathise and can answer. We can find mercy and grace to help in time of need.

[@rozchristopherson648]

You have no evidence that they cannot hear spiritually rather than with physical senses since they do not have physical or natural senses anymore. PS I am not advocating mediums, psychics, sorcery, etc. Just saying that we cannot make categorical statements about the dead when we do not know exactly what their capabilities are in pure spirit form. I would assume that if they are in heaven with Christ, they have an even greater ability to hear and even intercede for us than they had when they were in flesh form.

PLEASE don’t say that. You have NO idea of what these “familiar spirits” (demonic impersonators of your deceased loved ones) have planned for you. They will keep going and going and keep leading you down a DEADLY path, and they will convince you more and more. My mother died 7 years ago and I know what it’s like! I even went to Alison du Bois and she told me all these things that were dead on, but only later did I find out, that “my mother” was a familiar spirit who was with my mother and KNEW EVERYTHING about her, up until the day she died, so IT could easily convince me and others. It is TOTALLY against the Word of God and I sinned TERRIBLY BECAUSE I felt similarly to you. I wanted to speak or hear from my mother SO BADLY that I would do whatever it took. It was SO wrong and I opened a VERY bad door to witchcraft, and it was ONLY THROUGH ABSOLUTE GENUINE, BROKEN REPENTANCE THAT JESUS FORGAVE AND FREED ME, and I am now no longer bound by that sin. YES I STILL miss my mother, that’s normal, but NEVER to the point that I would EVER sin that way again! I PRAY that you will remember what I have said.

Yes what he is saying is that even if we think we are speaking to our loved ones who passed away it is not them but demonic Spirits that impersonate our loved ones. Sometimes these demonic spirits may even know personal things that only your loved one may have known but as he said there is a spiritual world that is surrounding us. But that world consist of fallen Angel and GODS Angels. Not our loved ones. When our love ones die their Spirit goes home to be with the Lord absent from the body. They dont come back and forth from heaven to earth. Why would they they are with the LORD in paradise awaiting for us believers to be reunited with them and so forever be with our LORD JESUS. All I have to say is be very careful what Spirits you are talking to the only Spirit we should have contact with is the Holy Spirit. GOD BLESS.

I am a Christian. I talk to my lost love ones all the time. the bible has been created by the council of Nicera under emperor of Rome to Create a story for Jesus to become Messiah to bring protection to Christians during that time who were persecuted and many books were left out like reincarnation . The main focus of Bible to keep focus on Jesus teachings his gospel. I pray and ask God to help me discern what is man created and what is divine. It is not Satan if our loved ones communicated to us thru dreams and visions. I refuse to believe everything in the Bible is divinely true it has been passed down thru several kings under control of the Christian churches we are human very complex yes the bible Jesus's teachings are universal and divine laws. different modalities of therapy is very helpful for people to become self aware and then we can know what to pray for and about. I do hand healing because we are in a physical body. Jesus did this . There is always Dogma man created belief systems. How we interpret the bible or any other texts depends on our past experiences in life. if a therapy of any kind including mediumship brings comfort and healing and brings us closer to God then that is divine healing .

Hello all, i would like to put forward my opinion based on experience and not belief. No1 disembodied spirits are real indeed yes 100%. They are as real as you and me. It's pretty obvious. Just Look in the mirror. Okay yes spirits go on. No they do not die. Spirits are eternal, they have no beginning or end. all spirits belong collectively to the one pool of consciousness. we are all fragments of the one collective. If you miss a loved one, just rest assured they are absolutely fine trust me. I follow no religion and only pay attention to spirit. If you're wanting a visitation or some signs, just raise your vibration by being happy and content and carry out your everyday duties. Being happy is important high vibration is the key here. Trust me if they need or want to communicate they will. Keep your mind open. Dont be narrow minded. Yes there are forces at play. Do not let fear into your heart. Be stronger than that. Good luck. Raise your vibration by just knowing everything is going to plan. Physical life is only temporary and a very short duration. Dont beat yourself up.

I really like your videos. I have some questions for you, sir. But before I state my questions I just want you to know that I believe in God. I'm just looking for answers. 1. Since God doesn't like rebellion why did he create the devil? He must've known how'd he turn out. 2. Why did God create us on the same planet where Satan tempted mankind? 3.Why did mankind have to meet Satan? Why were Adam and Eve introduced to temptation, why couldn't Satan be destroyed or be put somewhere else before the creation of man? 4. Why would God create a human being if he knows that person will spend eternity in hell? God doesn't want anybody to end up in hell so I don't understand why he'd create a unsaved human being if he wants lots of people in heaven. I Believe God knows everything. Everything is already pre-determined by him. His will shall be done. I just don't understand why mankind had to encounter Satan on earth, I don't understand why unsaved people get created when God doesn't want people to end up in hell. Why would God create a person if he knew they'd spend eternity in hell being tortured, nonstop? There's so much I don't understand but maybe you'll have the God given wisdom to answer all of my concerns. Thank you, God bless.

I would like to say that nowhere in Gods word does it say that the dead can't or don't speak to people in the spirit. It says not to seek out medians and not to seek out to comminiuicate yourself to the dead beacuse when you do that it does open the door to demonic spirits beacuse it's against Gods word. Were not capable of speaking to the dead through our own power so if we try demonic spirits step in. Samuel did speak to Saul. It's fact. All scripture is breathed out by the Holy Spirit. Neither did Saul or the witch document the encounter but it was written after by somone who wasnt even there who was inspired by the Holy spirit and Gods word states that Samuel Spoke. Not that a demon did or he was tricked but that Samuel Spoke so was the Holy Spirit wrong or is Gods word not states that Samuel Spoke.

If God lived in our days he would be called a Dictator. WE MUST FOLLOW HIM Getting every other God out of the way and we are just supposed to worship him. All the prophets that wrote the bible were Jews. Did you know that. And it took 1500 years to write the bible and 49 men wrote the bible. Did you know that. So God hung around for 1500 years and visited each of the 49 men to inspire the bible. See I stepped out of the box. I have questions. Why would God put Satan on earth with us humans if he didn't want him in heaven. It don't make sense. Everyone just follows the pied piper. This is what you do and so no one questions anything. We have nothing to compare nothing to tell us different. Why ? One BIBLE THATS IT. WITH ALL THESE PEOPLE. AND IF THE BIBLE WAS WHAT GOD INSPIRED THEN WHY SO MANY RELIGIONS. ? EACH RELIGION GETS SOMETHING DIFFERENT OUT OF THE BIBLE. SO IF IT WAS INSPIRED BY GOD THEN THERE SHOULD ONLY BE ONE RELIGION. LOOK AT THE MONEY THE CHURCHES MAKE SOME ARE CORUPT. SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT HERE. I WANT TO HEAR THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STORY NOT JUST ONE BIBLE AND ONE SIDE OF THE STORY LET ME DECIDE WHO I WANT TO BELIEVE. SURELY THERE HAS TO BE ANOTHER STORY WHERE IS THE OTHER SIDES STORY.???

Jesus raised the dead.

You are doing more harm than good in this instance. This appears to be a case of a sensitive drawing the dead who are seeking help. She can help by telling the dead to look for the beacon that has been erected to help them cross over. She is not evil nor is she wrong. Without the benefit of personal experience, you do nothing to help people like this woman other then throwing scripture at her which accomplishes nothing but make you feel superior to her and other sensitives. If you haven't had these experiences yourself, you can't help her.

This always conflicts me especially when people are using speaking to these spirits for solving missing persons or old crimes and it seeming like a positive thing Zoinks:"

I think ppl are putting way to much thought into this area I have no fear in my heart body or soul for demons or evil I just absolutely do not believe in that evil crap as of three years ago I still and even more believe in God though but I do not believe in the whole Bible been God's word I do believe man being the evil man is capable of being put his own spin on the words in the bible. God bless everyone and I'm not trying to disrespect anyone's beliefs I'm just leaving mine here.

The dead know nothing, so you are spreading false information. 😂😂😂😂😂

There is a woman in Calabria, who was interviewed stating that she sees deceased persons and can’t speak to them. She is called a mystic I don’t think this is right
