Where in the Bible does it say do not consult the dead?

May be...

I need to use scripture to explain that it is wrong by using the Bible, and not just my thoughts that it is wrong.

Deuteronomy 18:11-12 Do not cast spells, or who is a medium or spiritist or consults the dead. Anyone who does these things is detestable to the Lord, it go's on to say that you must be blameless before the Lord.

It says do not MOURN the dead

The Bible tells us not consult mediums or spiritists. I "think" it is because they are involved with demons:

People whom have died do not become spirits walking around in the world.

unless god gave you the gift you cannot use it....

why dont you read your bible and find it? Dont quote from a book you havent read.

Where in the Bible does it say do not consult the dead?



I've printed out the passages from the Bible below -



(Leviticus 19:31 KJV) Regard not them that have familiar spirits, neither seek after wizards, to be defiled by them: I am the LORD your God.



(Leviticus 20:6 KJV) And the soul that turneth after such as have familiar spirits, and after wizards, to go a whoring after them, I will even set my face against that soul, and will cut him off from among his people.



(1 Samuel 28:3 KJV) Now Samuel was dead, and all Israel had lamented him, and buried him in Ramah, even in his own city. And Saul had put away those that had familiar spirits, and the wizards, out of the land.



(1 Samuel 28:9 KJV) And the woman said unto him, Behold, thou knowest what Saul hath done, how he hath cut off those that have familiar spirits, and the wizards, out of the land: wherefore then layest thou a snare for my life, to cause me to die?



(2 Kings 21:6 KJV) And he made his son pass through the fire, and observed times, and used enchantments, and dealt with familiar spirits and wizards: he wrought much wickedness in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger.



(2 Kings 23:24 KJV) Moreover the workers with familiar spirits, and the wizards, and the images, and the idols, and all the abominations that were spied in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem, did Josiah put away, that he might perform the words of the law which were written in the book that Hilkiah the priest found in the house of the LORD.



(2 Chronicles 33:6 KJV) And he caused his children to pass through the fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom: also he observed times, and used enchantments, and used witchcraft, and dealt with a familiar spirit, and with wizards: he wrought much evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger.



(Isaiah 8:19 KJV) And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? for the living to the dead?



(Isaiah 19:3 KJV) And the spirit of Egypt shall fail in the midst thereof; and I will destroy the counsel thereof: and they shall seek to the idols, and to the charmers, and to them that have familiar spirits, and to the wizards.

As I remember (I think), didn't God give Solomon the ability to call upon the dead in his search for wisdom?

Leviticus 19:31 do not turn to mediums or seek out spiritists........

The dead can not be consulted, but a demon can.
