Subject: What was the answer? |
Bible Note: Ed Part 1 I have tried to manipulate this post into two because it exceeds the limit. Part 2 will apear before part 1 if this works. Forgive me for not being real accurate with this effort. "The reason the people that were righteous before Christ did not go directly to God is they still had unforgiven sin in the their lives." Correct...they still had unforgiven sin because the blood of animals could not redeem them. They died looking ofr the promise...But until the redeemer was provided they were bound by the grave. Hebrews 2 13 And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and the children which God hath given me. 14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; 15 And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. "Mediums deal with familiar spirits, demons that know the past and present. They don’t know the future. Satan doesn’t know the future." I would have to say this is an assumption at this point, a common teaching but not necessarily based on scripture because the scripture in 1 Samuel says the medium called Samuel and Samuel knew the future because he states to Saul what he had stated to him in life.. " Why ask me, if ADONAI has left you and become your enemy? ADONAI has done for himself what he foretold through me- ADONAI has torn the kingdom out of your hands and given it to your fellow countryman David....Adonai is giving Israel as wel as yourself over to the power of the Philistines...and tomorrow you and your sons will be with me. The reason I see your statement as an assumption is these scriptures clealy say the medium called Samuel and Samuel told Saul.. so odviously this medium did not call a 'familiar' spirit. If we stay with these scriptures in context we have to acknowledge the odvious. In other scriptures concerning mediums, does God say the 'can't' or does he simply forbid asking them? "When Jesus cast out the demon from the demonic they asked to go into the pigs." No doubt Jesus has authority over Satan and He gave us His authority to use His name thus giving us authority. And a sinner when he invokes the name of Jesus in repentance then is born again thus by faith in the promise..defeating Satan. "If they had known the future they would have known the pigs would race of the cliff and die. Instead they thought they were buying time until they could find another body to inhabit." I agree, Satan is not omniscient. He does not know all things. If he had known he would not have crucified the King of Glory..But again, you are speaking to the conflicting belief that the medium called a familiar spirit and not Samuel himself who did know. "When God brought forth Samuel the medium was stunned she had never had a righteous person appear before more importantly she never had any spirit tell the future." This is not what scripture says. "When the woman saw Samuel she let out a shriek." Why? "Then the woman said to Saul,'Why have you deceived me? You yourself are Saul!' This woman was affraid for her life, as she had also stated when Saul first came to her in verse 9. |
