The Bible teaches that the dead cannot hear, feel, think or speak.
Ecclesiastes 9:5---"For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing-"
Psalm 146:4--"His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish."

The same reason why Atheists don't believe in God: Lack of knowledge.

Some People hold seances as a tool to try and expel evil, or learn why a spirit is not leaving the premises.
Seances are supposed to be used as a strategical move to fight against the evil forces which is effecting the normal behavior of effected people.

That may be true but also the Witch of Endor called Samuel from the grave for King Saul. So it appears they can be called from the grave according to your Bible. Oh is there contradiction in the Bible here. I cant believe it's passable.

I'd imagine that people who hold seances are Christian so they wouldn't listen to what the Bible has to say. As for Christians who hold seances well that's a mystery. And as for firey_cowgirl i think you should read the whole book and understand it more before trying to disprove it.

the bible isn't your best source.
All kinds of religiouse texts speak against seances,
But did you know PRIESTS participated in many seances, throughout the centuries.
it's used as a tool to try and expell evil, or learn why a spirit won't leave a premacis.
Seances are suposed to be used as a stragegical move, against demons,
and because of this, it is forbidden to use seances to try and contact loved ones.

That's what the bible says. I think it's funny that the bible had many verses where the dead speak to the living. Just another in a long line of mess ups in the bible.

The Christian bible is not the be all and end all of spiritual authority.
Many other religions did and do still believe that the dead can speak to us.

Deuteronomy 18:10-14 goes through this stuff. Lucifer makes them do it, for he makes them believe its real.
