Deceptions of spiritualism

[PetriFB]

On the other hand, when it is a question of spiritualism and connection beyond the border, there is also a question of another similar matter than UFO. For in spiritualism it is believed that around and nearby us there are also other things besides mere air and these are mainly deceased spirits, with whom people can be connected by receiving and delivering messages through them.

Many people also like to think that they have been in contact with their relatives and their next-of-kin, getting messages from them. On the other hand, some other people believe that they have been in contact with well-known people such as Napoleon, Picasso, Carl Jung, Pharaohs, Kings or even with persons who are mentioned in the New Testament. As an example we can perhaps regard the famous medium, Arthur Ford, who is claimed to have been in connection with 8000 deceased persons.

You may ask, is it possible that in this case, just as in the UFO phenomena, that this is only a question of deceit? Many people who have been dealing with these matters do not take into consideration that it is a great mistake in their life.

We are going to look at this matter closely and mainly from the point of view that there is a spirit world which tries to lead people into separation from God. We look at this matter the light of these following points:

- There is a spirit world

- Why is a medium needed?

- Observations of the practice

- What does the Bible say about the whereabouts of the dead?

- "In connection only with good spirits".

- Where do the ghost phenomena come from?

The evil spirits. The second thing, which can be done is that if any spirit appears to you and trouble you, they can be dealt with easily. They live between the earth and the heaven, and can trouble people such as is told to us in the Bible. (However, they are easy to drive away in the name of Jesus, Mark 10:17, if you first turn to him.) In other words you have been in contact with the evil spirits, not the spirits of the dead. Note the following verses:

- (1 Cor 10:19-20) Do I mean then that a sacrifice offered to an idol is anything, or that an idol is anything?

20. No, but the sacrifices of pagans are offered to demons, not to God, and I do not want you to be participants with demons.

- (Deut 32:17) They sacrificed to demons, which are not God- gods they had not known, gods that recently appeared, gods your fathers did not fear.

2 Kings 21:6 (New International Version)

6 He sacrificed his own son in [a] 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.

judges 9:23

23 God sent an evil spirit between Abimelech and the citizens of Shechem, who acted treacherously against Abimelech.

Matthew 12:43 43"When an evil[a] spirit comes out of a man, it goes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it.

[jmh137]

To try purposely to connect to a being of the spirit-world (Sheol), is a grave mistake!

In the Old Testament, the Father, warned against this. He set forth in the Law, the death sentence for witches and mediums.

Now, for such a warning to come from the Throne of Almighty, there must be much danger that lies therein.

I have been struggling for many years with the subject at hand.

There are many evidences of activity in this forbidden realm.

But.... there is a difference to be accounted for.

The intention of the heart of the individual is paramount.

There are those who have asked not to know about this realm, yet have still been given a glimpse into it's reality.

Then there are those who have endeavored to even display it for all to view.

Our only guide, is the Word of our God and the illumination of His Holy Spirit.

As for me, I would rather know no more than I do. My mind cannot take on the implications of the whole matter.

I pray for protection against this realm, in my situation. I long for the truth and nothing more. God's Word is the only standard I can truly trust. .......jmh137
