As the title of this post says, I read today 1 Samuel 28, a chapter that deals with Saul, after seeing the army of the Philistines, and not hearing any reply from God, decides to consult a medium.
As best as I know, in my understanding, a medium typically uses a form of witchcraft, and Satan allows the person to seemingly see certain spirits and communicate with them. Now, I've never really delved into study of witchcraft or mediums or that part of the spiritual realm, so I could simply just misunderstand things. But, in as much as I know, I didn't think that a medium would be able to consult a dead person, especially one, like Samuel, a believer.
Yet, somehow, this medium that 1 Samuel speaks of, gets into contact with Samuel (dead and buried at this point), and Saul has a conversation with him.
It brings up the question about mediums in today's society, what the Bible says about the topic, and how to resolve any difficulties believing this type of account...
Still not sure what I think, but I imagine I should research it, and figure out the answers to my questions.
Thoughts?
