Do you remember when you asked the question in April 2022? Do you remember what I explained to you back then? That the verse you cite in no way says what you think it says?
Here it what I am talking about:
1Samuel28:6
King James Version
6 And when Saul enquired of the Lord, the Lord answered him not, neither by dreams, nor by Urim, nor by prophets.

So here I go. Firstly, reading the writings of Origen of Alexandria probably influenced me a great deal. However, he was conflicted over reincarnation. Most know that the eastern religions have believed in reincarnation for millennia. And Plato wrote his views on his belief in reincarnation...
WOW -- I've got some homework ahead of me! LOL I love it! Thank you for the research and thinking challenge. I will surely reply when I have my notes compiled. My scratch pad is already on my chair arm ready to go............
I'm interested in knowing your personal interpretation of the following scriptures. I'm addressing this post specifically to you because I'd like to know your thoughts on them. I decided to address you directly because I'm already aware of how a couple of others in this discussion interpret the...
Yes. For the most part, there is understandably more internal consistency within the writings purported to be Ezekiel's or Isaiah's (etc.) than there is overall in the Hebrew scriptures, but if you take the whole OT (which the originators would have had no conception of...as far as they knew...
There are other stories in the Bible that could be considered paranormal too. For example, Jesus mentioned the appearance of a ghost in Luke 24:37–39 because his disciples thought he was a ghost. 1Samuel28:7–20 mentions the ghost of Samuel communicating with King Saul and warning him that God...
This is true.
Many are in the Bible.
For example...
(1Samuel28:6-14) 6 Although Saul would inquire of Jehovah, Jehovah never answered him, either in dreams or by the Uʹrim or through the prophets. 7 Finally Saul said to his servants: “Find me a woman who is a spirit medium, and I will go and...
Jesus mentioned the appearance of a ghost in Luke 24:37–39 because his disciples thought he was a ghost. 1Samuel28:7–20 mentions the ghost of Samuel communicating with King Saul and warning him that God would deliver both him and Israel into the hands of the Philistines because of his...
It’s funny and strange how you profess a unity of God and Son of God as a TRINITY (an invented word in regards to a ONE GOD!) yet EXCLUDE the claimed THIRD ENTITY… a Holy Spirit!!
You use, ‘Baptise [people of God?] in the name of … the unity … the trinity’ since you claim all three NAMES are...
In the above context, as seen before, “The Name” is in the neuter, so Jesus said, it is within the “Name”: “in (within) the name of my Father” (John 10:25).
It fulfills the prophecy of Zechariah 14:9: “The LORD will be King over all the earth; in that day the LORD will be one, and His name...
Satan is not laid in the ground with maggots around him. It is a passage that has 2 meanings if it has to do with Satan at all, and it speaks of spirits of the dead stirring themselves to meet the dead King of Babylon. Some people have interpreted the passage to be about Satan and hence the name...
Isaiah 14:12-14 How you are fallen from heaven, O Day Star, son of Dawn [O Lucifer, son of the morning [KJV] = shining one, morning star, Lucifer; of the king of Babylon and Satan (fig.)] . . . . The fall of Satan grasping at equality with God: "I will make myself like the Most High".
I don't...
Isa 14:9-11 is initially about the King of Babylon and extrapolated to also mean Satan.
1Sam 28:3-35 calls the one who came up to speak to Saul, "Samuel". So the one who came to speak to Saul was Samuel, and he gave a true prophecy about Saul and his sons dying the next day.
And yes of course...
I have explained what I believe the verse to be saying with the understanding that Jesus did not preexist before he existed at his birth.
They are precise in what they say - they are words given by inspiration of God.
That which is born of the flesh is flesh - the first birth. That which is...
Why do you suppose Jesus mentioned the appearance of a human ghost when the dead are forgotten (Ecclesiastes 9:5) and his followers don't believe that they exist and are actually demons in disguise? And since he mentioned a ghost's appearance, then he would have known that some ghosts (a.k.a...
There are some things that have been started to be revealed through kind of Ancient Mythology and different things. If we look at Sais, Egypt, we can see a Medical School where Midwives were Trained. There then in Enoch 8 is a Breastplate Azazel gives to the People, this being the Jewish...
Of course, the Bible is obviously biased against spiritualism. That should go without saying. In my opinion, the Bible is about as accurate regarding the afterlife as tabloid magazines are about reporting actual news that doesn't involve Bigfoot or any other outlandish stories like these here...
Here is a website that is linked to a story about spiritualism.It shows why I don't like spiritualism.: Bible Gateway passage: 1Samuel28 - New International Version
1Samuel28
New International Version
28 In those days the Philistines gathered their forces to fight against Israel. Achish...
