Subject: What was the answer? |
Bible Note: "Secondly you say he was talking to Samuel and Samuel did know. How did Samuel know he was dead? Are you suggesting that God informed Samuel of Saul’s death but never intended him to use that information." Now here you have a valid point. If Samuel had only stated that Saul hadlost the kingdom, he would have been repeating what he already knew before he died. but no doubt God told Samuel that Saul and his sons would die. I also have no doubt that God knew Saul would seek the medium...but I can't accept that God would violate His Word and empower the medium to call Samuel forth. And these scriptures do not state that God called Samuel. It says she called him forth. "You asked why the woman shrieked because she knew instantly that Samuel was from God therefore this had to be Saul who had God’s hand upon him." No, I beliee she feared for her life. It does not say she was afraid of Samuel...Or God.. You never addressed the fact that God did use an unrighteous prophet Balaam to prophesize blessing on Israel. Also please read 1 Kings 13 you will see that God used another false prophet to prophesize truth. It is a very interesting story, one which give you a lot more to think about." I did read both of these today. Never the less they were both prophets...failed and weak though they were...they were not demonic soulmates whom God commanded to be killed as noted in other spriptures and forbade any to seek out as I posted earlier. If God had performed any miracle by any other means other than one strictly frobidden by HIMSELF which would be a violation of HIS WORD I could accept your theory...But if God forbids us to commit sin and then commits sin Himself...He would not be God...That would be the same as commanding us not to commit murder but going out and committing murder Himself and saying it was OK because He is God. My next area of research will be to look at all the scriptures pertaining to mediums and see what else God had to say. God bless |
