Theres no valid proof that he did. He told his groggy disciples that He did and they believed him. In their sleepiness they saw the figures of two men in the misty mountain but these men ran away when they figured that the disciples broke their sleep. These two men could have easily been anybody. Why then did they not reveal themselves to the disciples, surely that was the best reward they could have offered these disciples for believing in Jesus and the messiah ship.

Moses and Elijah are not dead. Jesus said to the sadducees, who do not believe in spirits or angels or resurrection, (and were trying to trap him with another question), responded even to their disbelief on resurrection. He said, God is not the God of the dead but a God of the living. When he said to Moses, at the account of the burning bush....I AM the God of your father, the God of Abraham, and Isaac.... He was in essence telling Moses, that they were alive and well and that He is still their God. Moses certainly tried to live a life that pleased God after that. I think God counted these men as righteous, right up until the moment their spirits left their bodies. Keep reading your Bible, you will find this in there.
...in the way of righteousness there is life. Along that path lies immortality!
So, Jesus is not talking to dead people, but to immortals. The only accounts I know of in scripture that you might say He "talked to the dead" is when Christ demonstrated His power over death, and brought glory to His Father, by commanding departed spirits to return to their human bodies.
Still he wasn't speaking to the body but to the spirit.
Do you have a desire to bring God glory by speaking to the departed for some reason? Another person in scripture found himself seeking information from the departed only to have the immortal pronounce his death sentence. That is why we are told not to have anything to do with this. It is tantamount to playing with fire and does not seek righteousness in any way.

Talking to the dead is really only wrong if you dig them up to do it.
For Coffee_pot - according to the Bible Moses did die. God supposedly buried Moses in a secret grave somewhere.

This is a direct contradiction to Protestant heresies against the Church.

Thank you Alex. What are: "Jesus is God and you're not" and "Moses and Elijah never died".

" I am the resurrection and the life; he that believes in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live ; and whoever lives and believes in me shall never die". - Jesus (Jn. 11:25)
