What does the Bible teach about seeking guidance from the dead?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible warns against seeking guidance from the dead, as it leads to deception and spiritual danger.

Seeking guidance from the dead, as Saul did when he consulted the witch at Endor, is clearly forbidden in scripture. This act of necromancy is considered an offense against God and undermines His authority. Scripture emphasizes that God alone is the source of wisdom and guidance, and turning to the occult or witchcraft for answers only opens individuals to deception and spiritual peril. The practice is condemned because it reflects a lack of trust in God's sovereignty and wisdom.
Scripture References: 1 Samuel 28:7-9, Deuteronomy 18:10-12, Isaiah 8:19-20
