Bible Question (short): God's role at Endor |
Question (full): The episode about the witch at Endor is peculiar to me for a couple of reasons. One is that when Saul sought the Lord’s guidance (vs. 5-6) God provided none. Yet when he went to the Medium God allowed Samuel to appear to him. Why would God use this means of communicating with Saul? When Saul tried the right ways God didn’t respond, yet when he uses the forbidden way he gets a response – it makes little sense. Ultimately, do these necromancers actually have a real ability to contact the dead, or should we see this episode as a one off example where God allowed his prophet to communicate from beyond the grave for a particular purpose (still leaving me with the question if he was going to communicate with Saul, why use this method and not the more conventional ways Saul had tried before). |
