Is it possible to communicate with the dead?
Long Island Medium is an American Reality Television Series starring Theresa Caputo, a self-professed medium who claims she can communicate with the dead.
From her hit television show to live shows across the country, Theresa, 52, has made her money by convincing the public that she can communicate with the dead.
"On television, she is almost always absolutely right, but in her live shows, we saw her attack time and time again," the journalist revealed.
Another technique Theresa supposedly uses is that when she gets it wrong, she will blame the spirit, telling the guests that the spirit intended to convey this message to someone else.
Other Popular Television Shows like Ghost Hunters, Talking to the Dead, Ghost Adventures, and Paranormal Witness suggest that communicating with spirits is quite possible. But what does the Bible say about talking to the dead?
No one can talk to the Dead, no more than anyone from the dead can speak to you. Read Luke chapter 16:19-31 where Abraham replies to the Rich man, saying, "If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead."
The Old Testament teaches that believers are defiled by their attempts at communicating with the dead, a practice that is detestable to God.
The New Testament instructs believers to seek guidance from God and his Spirit only.
The Bible reveals that psychic experiences are real but demonic and that deceiving spirits are counterfeits of the true Spirit of God.
“Do not turn to mediums or necromancers; do not seek them out, and so make yourselves unclean by them: I am the Lord your God. ~Leviticus 19:31
