Necromancy: the Accepted Sin Among Believers

All that is necessary to be involved of the practice of necromancy is the desire to speak to the dead. The dead doesn't even have to speak back to us, it is all about the desire within our heart that shows an attitude of rebellion.

Matthew 5:28 "27 You have heard that it was said, ‘Do not commit adultery.’ 28 But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman to lust after her has already committed adultery with her in his heart."

It is adultery against God to desire something that God condemns.

Isaiah 1:21 "How tragic that the once-faithful city has become a prostitute! She was once a center of justice, fairness resided in her, but now only murderers."

Isaiah 57:3 "But approach, you sons of omen readers, you offspring of adulteresses and prostitutes!"

The desire demonstrated an many American funerals today, to speak to their loved ones who have passed, is in fact an act of necromancy.

Proverbs 23:7
"7 For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee."

It is the condition of our heart that motivates us to act. We cannot act in ways that are not already in our heart.

Speaking to the dead, even if we do not expect an answer back is the desire to be heard by the deceased person and the practice of necromancy.

Every action show us our own heart. It is a violation of God's principles and an abomination to Him for us to speak to or attempt to conjure up a spirit.

Deuteronomy 18:9-12 "“When you come into the land that the Lord your God is giving you, you shall not learn to follow the abominable practices of those nations. There shall not be found among you anyone who burns his son or his daughter as an offering, anyone who practices divination or tells fortunes or interprets omens, or a sorcerer or a charmer or a medium or a necromancer or one who inquires of the dead, for whoever does these things is an abomination to the Lord. And because of these abominations the Lord your God is driving them out before you."

So many things Christians think are innocent and cute, are actually abominations. Isn't it time for all believers to evaluate the practices of this culture and even the modern church to learn God's truth through His Word and the teaching of the Holy Spirit? YES, I think it is time to stop doing what everyone else is doing and hear from God on these matters.
