What Does the Bible Say About Talking to the Dead?
Friday October 13, 2006
Is there such as thing as a sixth sense? Is it possible to communicate with the spirit world? Popular television shows like Ghost Whisperer, Medium and John Edward Cross Country all seem to suggest that talking to the dead and communicating with spirits is quite possible. But what does the Bible say about talking to the dead?
We are living in a time when people are fascinated with the supernatural but not with God.

Isn’t that odd but true? People are so intrigued with the afterlife, but not interested in God. It makes me think of 1 Tim. 4:1 – “The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons.”
I prefer saving my energy to communicate effectively with the living. The dead are alive in my memory, of course.

I think it’s hilarious that anyone thinks the dead want to talk to us, even if they could.
I don’t know about anyone else, but when I get to heaven, I won’t have time for anything in this life any more!
