Words of Hope…
Furthermore, God has forbidden all pretended communication
with departed spirits. The Bible says that “familiar spirits,” as these
visitors from other worlds were called, are “the spirits of demons”
(see Numbers 25:1-3; Psalm 106:28; 1 Corinthians 10:20; Revelation
16:14.) God prohibited dealing with them under penalty of
death (Leviticus 19:31; 20:27). But spiritualism has made its way
into scientific circles, invaded churches, and found a welcome in
legislative bodies, even in the courts of kings. This mammoth deception
is a revival in a new disguise of the witchcraft condemned
long ago.
By representing the most evil of sinners as in heaven, Satan says
to the world: “No matter whether you believe or disbelieve God and
the Bible, live as you please. Heaven is your home.” But the Word of God says, “Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; who
put darkness for light, and light for darkness” (Isaiah 5:20).
