You will meet a wide variety of people with differing opinions, some carrying bibles. Don't worry most of the nuts have your number on speed dial. Keep that in mind they'll tell you that talking to the dead means your going to hell. I've even gotten death threats from dead people, but it's the living that scare me more.
Sword of Gideon 665
SEEK GOD! do not seek spirits.. john 3.16 God wants us to be saved.. do not be tricked by Satan into thinking you are talking to a dead loved one.. ye art talking to demonic spirits.. i warn thee this day.. hear the word of the lord..draw near to the GOD of heaven.. only Christ can save our souls!
Ecclesiastes 9:5
“For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing, and there is not left any reward for their memory is forgotten”.
Translation, the dead know nothing, not even emotions. This is fitting with the Bible's theme that the dead return to the dust, and are asleep.
Ecclesiastes 9:5 pardon the pun is dead wrong. This is the most commonly quoted passage from the Bible that people will confront you with. That's when I get them to listen to some of my EVPs. After that they walk away.
Thus totally disembodied minds exist which emanate from God and are the intermediaries between God and all the bodies here in this world.
Next time someone tells you that your going to hell for talking to the dead. Ask them if that includes talking to angels. ~Angelology the theological study of angels.
