    Can the dead communicate with the living?

    This is the context....the scripture says it was Samuel because Saul thought it was Samuel...... Because Saul thought it was Samuel didn't make it Samuel. again.....context is critical......without it one can make pigs fly.

    Where does the Bible say?

    I Corinthians 3:15 is referring to those who's 'theology' is in error yet who's hearts are in the right place. The reference to fire is the destruction of an inaccurate understanding through a late awareness of their error ie, what is happening externally is not according to their...

    Can the dead communicate with the living?

    “The Hebrews were expressly forbidden to engage in any manner in pretended communion with the dead. God closed this door effectually when He said: “The dead know not anything.... Neither have they any more a portion forever in anything that is done under the sun.” Ecclesiastes 9:5, 6. “His...

    Daniel 2:44!

    You speak in ignorance. Context, if I might remind you of something you should know determines the truth of anything. Without context you can make anything say anything otherwise I might ask you, where does the bible say you have to do up shoelaces or stop at red lights?

The word 'these' is referring to the other kingdoms spoken of in Daniel's interpretation of the image (metal man) that Nebuchadnezzer saw in his dream...

    Sign of the son of Man?

    Your three quotes speak of different events and so need be understood in their context. The word 'sign' having individual meanings in each text 1....speaks of how the Messiah will come about. 2. Rev.12:1 The woman representing God's people using several symbols....a pure woman, clothed...

    Write My Laws on Your Hearts

    I don't know anything about God appointing 70 Nations Mark. Seventy elders were appointed by the Hebrew system. These were known as the Sanhedrin. I'm not sure what your reference to this is. As for Israel....If one holds that the mention of Israel in the prophetic context is referring to a...
