Why is it dangerous to seek answers from outside the Word of God?

In 1 Samuel 28, King Saul sought guidance from a witch at Endor after experiencing God's silence, which brought no comfort or hope, only judgment. This illustrates the danger of turning to ungodly sources for direction. Hebrews 10:26 warns against willfully turning away from the truth, emphasizing that relying on means outside God's ordained ways is not only futile but can lead to spiritual destruction. The only true hope and guidance we have comes from scripture and through the work of the Holy Spirit, who helps us to understand and apply the Word in our lives.
