Why is it dangerous to seek answers outside God's Word?

Answered in 1 source

Seeking answers outside God's Word can lead to deception and spiritual danger.

When we turn to sources outside of Scripture for guidance, we open ourselves up to deception and lies, as evidenced by King Saul's desperate choice to consult a witch. The narrative of 1 Samuel 28 highlights the grave consequences of Saul's actions, where, in panic and disbelief, he sought counsel from demons instead of relying on God's Word. As Isaiah 8:20 warns, those who do not speak according to God's Word lack light. Engaging with mediums, horoscopes, or any form of divination undermines faith in God's promises and may lead to spiritual ruin. For Christians, it is crucial to adhere firmly to biblical truth, for only there can we find genuine guidance and the light of Christ.
