Bible Question:
I find this passage disturbing as I do not believe in "psychic phenomenon". The Bible is the word of God, it is true, all of it. What then are we to believe about 1 Samuel 28:8-22? Was Saul really conjured up from the dead, and then did he then prophesy from the dead in verse 19? Just a worthless son. blessings abound, bowler |
Bible Answer: Hello bowler, First, Samuel was the one conjured up from the dead. Second, if Scripture says it happened, then it happened. This should not be so disturbing. Another case of the dead among the living was Moses on the mount with Jesus and Elijah. Now I can understand being more comfortable because God Himself would have done that, and it would have been within His purview. Here, a witch/medium does that work. I do not claim to understand why the Lord allowed it, but He did. Steve |
