1 | How was Samuel called from the grave? | 1 Sam 28:7 | retxar | 8024 | ||
I don't think this was Samuel from the dead at all, but a demon acting as Samuel. Saul had already inquired of the LORD, and the LORD did not answer him, either by dreams or by Urim or by the prophets (1Sam 28:6). If God refused to answer thru the Holy Spirit, I don’t think He would answer thru demonic means, do you? Why would God talk to Saul thru means that would violate scripture? (Luke 16:26) Look at 1Sam 28:19. The demon (or Samuel) says “tomorrow you and your sons will be with me.” Did Saul join Samuel, or demons? I really don’t know for sure, but from the indication of scripture I do not think Saul joined Samuel. Can someone bring out a soul from the dead today? No! I believe today, when it happens, it is the same demon impersonation, as I think happened here. When people consult the devil, it seems to me it would be the devil who would accommodate them, not God. Could a witch bring out a soul from the dead at any time past? Jesus said it was NOT possible. Luke 16:26 says "And besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, so that those who want to pass from here to you cannot, nor can those from there pass to us." I think I will go with what Jesus said. Jesus Lives!!!!!!!!!! |

2 | How was Samuel called from the grave? | 1 Sam 28:7 | Nicholson | 8247 | ||
Alleluia, for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth. (Rev.19: 6) The LORD hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all. Psa.103:19 But God also has certain principles laid down in His government of His whole creation. He normally does not interfere with the “way of all the earth,” (Josh.23: 14, 1Kings 2: 2)except in very rare cases due to the fervent prayers of His people. The system of God’s government is revealed to a little extent in verses Job 1: 6, 2: 1, Dan.10: 13,20, etc. I have also given some details about this in my original note on this topic. How can a witch bring out a soul from the Hades? That too, it was the soul of one of the greatest prophet of God. Is it possible for any such witch to do the same thing today? These are the most important questions raised in our mind when we read this passage. In my original note above I have focused on these issues without being biased by the widely prevalent orthodox and traditional views. |

3 | How was Samuel called from the grave? | 1 Sam 28:7 | Makarios | 8254 | ||
Yes, Nicholson, I read your original post concerning 1 Samuel 28 and following... It was a good post and I appreciated what your understanding of it was. I believe that it is impossible for a witch or spiritist of any kind to bring out anyone's soul from anywhere today. I believe that this was a 'one-time' event, and that the 'occurrences' of such things happening today is totally controlled by demons. I believe that God does not work in this way. But it could be possible that He did allow it to happen just that one time (with Samuel) to teach Saul a lesson.. | ||||||
