Where in the bible does it say not to communicate with the dead?

Question

Like using a ouiji board or a psycic.

Answer 1

Ouiji boards are a vehicle for demons...period.

The dead are just that....dead. The demons, however, want everyone to think that life goes on. Doing a bang up job of it I must say.

However, these commandments were given for good reason:

“When you are entered into the land that Jehovah your God is giving you, you must not learn to do according to the detestable things of those nations. 10 There should not be found in you anyone who makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire, anyone who employs divination, a practicer of magic or anyone who looks for omens or a sorcerer, 11 or one who binds others with a spell or anyone who consults a spirit medium or a professional foreteller of events or anyone who inquires of the dead. 12 For everybody doing these things is something detestable to Jehovah, and on account of these detestable things Jehovah your God is driving them away from before you. 13 You should prove yourself faultless with Jehovah your God.
-Deuteronomy 18:9-13

Also:

(Isaiah 8:19) And in case they should say to YOU people: “Apply to the spiritistic mediums or to those having a spirit of prediction who are chirping and making utterances in low tones,” is it not to its God that any people should apply? [Should there be application] to dead persons in behalf of living persons?

*************** a couple of items regarding the Ouiji board

Ouija Board Dangers (from 1986)

The Toronto Star reports that a 12-year-old girl spent a very frightening year after having been told incorrectly by a Ouija board that she would die by the time she reached the age of 13. In his new book Ouija: The Most Dangerous Game, Stoker Hunt points out that apart from giving blatantly incorrect messages, the board has been known to induce psychosis in some users, while others lose all sense of reality due to their obsession with the game. The Toronto Star notes that use of the board could expose one to demonic influences, and that it isn’t something to be toyed with.

From 1988:

Wrong Entertainment

Just for fun, German pupils in Lahnstein began to induce occult spirits to speak by means of a drinking glass moving from letter to letter, “writing” a message. What was the result?

“Fifteen-year-olds, afraid to go alone to the bathroom, chatter confusedly about demons. At night, youngsters want to sleep with their parents,” reports German newspaper Rhein-Zeitung. Panic broke out among many of those who “in hush-hush meetings called on spirits and finally on ‘Lucifer.’” Commenting on the children’s reaction “when ‘Lucifer’ supposedly got in contact with them,” one teacher observed: “Even the most frenzied children suddenly became very subdued. They were terror-struck.” Following the experience, the city’s juvenile center prohibited such “games,” and parents were asked not to leave their frightened children alone.

According to the paper, “the occult wave is spilling over into movies, TV, and records.” Yet, dabbling in the occult for entertainment did not provide the German pupils of Lahnstein the fun they expected. Why not? Because the Bible informs us that the Devil is crafty and “is misleading the entire inhabited earth.” It connects the Devil’s effectiveness on earth with “woe.” Satan and his “wicked spirit forces” (the demons) should be regarded seriously as a real spiritual danger, and avoided.—Revelation 12:9, 12; Ephesians 6:11, 12; compare Acts 19:19.

Answer 2

Deuteronomy 18:9-11 Says"9 When you enter the land the LORD your God is giving you, DO NOT learn to imitate the detestable ways of the Nations there. 10 Let no one be found among you who sacrifices his son or daughter in the fire, who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft, 11 or casts spells, or who is a medium or spiritist or who consults the dead. 12 ANYONE WHO DOES THESE THINGS IS DETESTABLE TO THE LORD," God is saying that humans believe they can talk to the dead, but they can't, and he doesn't want humans to try to do his work because this is showing that you don't trust him and that you Idolize some other type of spirit other than his, and that is unacceptable. Leave the spirit work to God and just trust in him and love him, we do not deserve his presence but can only hope for the chance to serve him. GOD BLESS!!

Answer 3

Let no one be found among you who sacrifices his son or daughter in the fire, who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft, or casts spells, or who is a medium or spiritist or who consults the dead. Anyone who does these things is detestable to the LORD -Deuteronomy 18:10
