XI. THE BEST TEXTS FOR SPIRITUALISTS

ISA 8:19-20 When men tell you to consult mediums and spiritists, who

whisper and mutter, should not a people inquire of their God? Why

consult the dead on behalf of the living? To the law and to the

testimony! If they do not speak according to this word, they have no

light of dawn.

1JO 4:1, 3 Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the

spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets

have gone out into the world. . .but every spirit that does not

acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the

antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in

the world.

LEV 19:31 Do not turn to mediums or seek out spiritists, for you will

be defiled by them. I am the LORD your God.

LEV 20:6 I will set my face against the person who turns to mediums

and spiritists to prostitute himself by following them, and I will cut

him off from his people.

DEU 18:10-12 Let no one be found among you who sacrifices his son or

daughter in the fire, who practices divination or sorcery, interprets

omens, engages in witchcraft, or casts spells, or who is a medium or

spiritist or who consults the dead. Anyone who does these things is

detestable to the LORD, and because of these detestable practices the

LORD your God will drive out those nations before you.

2TH 2:9-12 The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with

the work of Satan displayed in all kinds of counterfeit miracles, signs

and wonders, and in every sort of evil that deceives those who are

perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be

saved. For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they

will believe the lie and so that all will be condemned who have not

believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness.

2KI 21:1-2, 6 Manasseh was twelve years old when he became king, and

he reigned in Jerusalem fifty-five years. His mother's name was

Hephzibah. He did evil in the eyes of the LORD, following the

detestable practices of the nations the LORD had driven out before the

Israelites. He sacrificed his own son in the fire, practiced sorcery

and divination, and consulted mediums and spiritists. He did much evil

in the eyes of the LORD, provoking him to anger.

1CH 10:13-14 Saul died because he was unfaithful to the LORD; he did

not keep the word of the LORD and even consulted a medium for guidance,

and did not inquire of the LORD. So the LORD put him to death and

turned the kingdom over to David son of Jesse.
