Witchcraft and Medium Consulting

"Someone may say to you, "Let's ask the mediums and those who consult the spirits of the dead. With their whispering and mutterings, they will tell us what to do. But shouldn't people ask God for guidance? Should the living seek guidance from the dead? Isaiah 8:19 (NLT)

The Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English defines "Dead" has something that is no longer alive, something no longer working because there is no power.

See how the man described to be the wisest man ever on earth described the "dead". Solomon in Ecclesiastes 9:5B-6, "The dead know nothing, they no longer play a part in anything here on earth"

So why would people consult the dead for an answer? It is because of their evil practices, practices developed by mankind. This witchcraft and it is against the Laws of God. God is against all kinds of idol worshiping.

Why consult a dead that knows nothing? That is what this statement in Isaiah 8:19 implies, "But shouldn’t people ask God for guidance? Should the living seek guidance from the dead?"

A dead person is lying helpless, unable to get up. The body decomposing or already decomposed, how can this body give guidance or advice?

This is purely human idol practices just like worshiping an image or piece of wood carved by man. Who gives life to these objects? They are mere man-made, who gives power to them?

But the Living God who has been alive from the very beginning and who will live forever, He will never die. He is the only one who has the ability to give life and power to people. He can also take life at His own discretion. He gives guidance to all of those who truly seek Him.

"Look to God's instructions and teachings! People who contradict His word are completely in the dark" Isaiah 8: 20 (NLT)

Witchcraft, medium consulting, and idol worshiping are all sins and all those who practices same awaits God's judgment on the Last day
