1 Samuel 28:7 (a) It was generally thought that certain witches, necromancers, soothsayers, magicians and astrologers were in intimate association with certain spirits in the other world. This group of people taught that those with whom they communicated in the other world would listen to their call and come back to earth with a message. These folk claimed to be able to reach out into eternity and call for the appearance of anyone they desired. It was a devilish program which was condemned severely by GOD. The Lord said, "Should the living seek to the dead?" Isaiah 8:19. We cannot be on familiar terms with anyone who has died except our Lord JESUS CHRIST for He came back from the dead and called on us to have fellowship with Him.
