Reading the bible from the book of 1st Samuel chapter 28 verse 6 to 25.

We saw how King Saul went outside the city to a witch who he asked to raise the Ghost of Samuel(a dead prophet).

The bible told us about how the witch did resurrect the Ghost of samuel and how king Saul communicated with Samuel's ghost.

Those of us who are very conversant with the bible know that the bible does not in anyway support re-incarnation.

There are lot of passages in the bible that really condemn the act of re-incarnation.

Now the questions are as follows;
(1)How come the ghost of a prophet as powerful as Samuel was able to be controlled by a barnished witch?

(2)According to the bible,after death is judgement.
Where was samuel's ghost before he was summoned by the witch?

(3)was that really Samuel's ghost?
Or was it a familiar spirit?

Your contributions will be highly appreciated with biblical proof.

It was not Samuel's ghost....It was a familiar spirit

From memorial man had been interfacing with spirit world. That Samuel case is just one of them. Also devil had always kept man in the dark concerning the truth. This is one of the reasons why Jesus was made manifest.
Dead dont mingle with the living. There is a barrier, even bw the holy dead and the sinful dead acording to Jesus naration in Lazarus and rich man's case, let alone bw the living and the dead.
Do not be ignorant of devices of the devil. The angel of darkness appears as angel of light to deceive the ignorant. Ignorance is a sin of omission.

hmmmm.

Any proof

The old testament concept was that after death you go to a place called the land of the dead whether you are good or bad. It is called sheol. It was when isreal was hellenised that concepts of hell started

....

Samuel that refused to see Saul while alive will now be summoned by someone who Samuels God had told samuel not to associate with so as to speak to Saul.
you can believe that that was Samuels spirit cus I know the devils deceptive ability is strong.

By the way, does a mans spirit go to hell when he dies?

Most times the bible confuses me Cos it contradicts some issues.
God give me a clear understanding of ur word Amen.

you haven't answered the question sir

Want to ask you a question. Do you know that you do not cease to exist when you die?
When you get this straight, the issue will be clearer to you. What man does not understand,he sees it as evil.
Those saying familiar spirit,cannot explain the phenomenon thus they use a general term "familiar spirit".
This medium is not the best to deal with your question, have an open mind and if your seeking is genuine, clarity will come.

You better start paying less attention to that book & start keeping an open mind my dear

why did you say that sir

I believe it was Samuel himself that was invoked by that Witch of Edom!
He prophesied the death of Saul and his son Jonathan afterward and it happened exactly! So what is confusing there?

To summon the dead was the practice of the heathen around Canaan in those days...

Samuel was resting jejely when karachika come wake am up so dat Saul fit yan with am....
