Is there scripture that states loved ones can return to earth after dying?

Question

To clarify an earlier question...

Can anyone show me Holy Bible scripture that states that lost loved ones have the ability to communicate with me on earth while they have passed on into heaven? Prior to the second coming of course.

In other words, can my deceased mother (I miss you so much mom) become my "guardian angel", still see me from heaven, speak to me, or in any way communicate with me based on the Christian Holy Bible? Scriptures if you have them. I thought my mother spoke to me once after dying, it was wonderful, wish she could do it again if it was God's Will. My Pastor said God has allowed her to be my angel and watch over me. I fear fasle "familiar spirits" though and remain vigilant. So I figure I would ask for scriptures. I always turn to the WORD when in doubt!!

Answer 1

No, the Bible does not lend any support to the idea that your deceased loved ones can communicate with you now.

As for a person becoming a guardian angel, that doesn't happen. When a believer goes to heaven they receive a glorified human body but do not become an angel. Humans are humans and angels are angels. The two are different species. Angels have always been angels.

If your pastor really said that God allowed your deceased mother to be your guardian angel, you should look for another pastor.

Answer 2

The answer is no. It would be nice but ther is no scripture that I have ever read in the new testement that confirms such an act. In the old testament King Saul went to a seer to have his future told. God sent one of the old prophets to speak to Saul, and what he had to say was not pretty. I forget where in the story of Saul this takes place but I know that it was towards the end of his life. I'll dig out the scriptures for you as soon as I find them.

Answer 3

The ghosts of Isaiah and Moses (I think) appeared with Jesus to the disciples while he was praying before the crusifiction.

In the old testiment, Saul went to a medium and summoned the ghost of Samuel.

The idea of people becoming angels however is not biblical. It is a traditional misconception. The Bible makes it clear that the angels and human beings are two seperate creations.

Answer 4

Luke 16:26 , Hebrews 9:27

Answer 5

A person cannot return to earth after dying. I saw my dad in a dream the morning he died, he was with Jesus. I am so sorry that you miss your mom, it must be really hard being without her. I know in some way, the people in heaven know what is taking place here. I would tread lightly, because you may be drawn toward familar spirits. I would keep your eyes on Jesus and know that your mom is happy where she is, with Jesus, and looks forward to seeing you again.

Answer 6

Jesus taught that someday “all those in the memorial tombs” will be resurrected. (John 5:28) Jehovah is the Creator of all life. Should it be hard to believe that he can re-create life? Of course, much would depend on Jehovah’s memory. Can he remember our dead loved ones? Countless trillions of stars fill the universe, yet God gives the name of each one! (Isaiah 40:26) So Jehovah God can remember our dead loved ones in every detail, and he is ready to restore them to life. How, though, does Jehovah feel about resurrecting the dead? The Bible teaches that he is eager to raise the dead. The faithful man Job asked: “If an able-bodied man dies can he live again?” Job was speaking about waiting in the grave until the time came for God to remember him. He said to Jehovah: “You will call, and I myself shall answer you. For the work of your hands you will have a yearning.”—Job 14:13-15.
Just think! Jehovah actually yearns to bring the dead back to life. Is it not heartwarming to learn that Jehovah feels that way? But what about this future resurrection? Who will be resurrected, and where?

The Bible's resurrection accounts teach us much about the resurrection to come. People who were restored to life right here on earth were reunited with their loved ones. The future resurrection will be similar—but much better. As we learned in Chapter 3, God’s purpose is that the whole earth be made into a paradise. So the dead will not be raised to life in a world filled with war, crime, and sickness. They will have an opportunity to live forever on this earth in peaceful and happy conditions.Who will be resurrected? Jesus said that “all those in the memorial tombs will hear his [Jesus’] voice and come out.” (John 5:28, 29) Similarly, Revelation 20:13 says: “The sea gave up those dead in it, and death and Hades gave up those dead in them.” “Hades” refers to the common grave of mankind. (See the Appendix, pages 212-13.) This collective grave will be emptied. All those billions who rest there will live again. The apostle Paul said: “There is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.” (Acts 24:15) What does that mean? “The righteous” include many of the people we read about in the Bible who lived before Jesus came to the earth. You might think of Noah, Abraham, Sarah, Moses, Ruth, Esther, and many others. Some of these men and women of faith are discussed in the 11th chapter of Hebrews. But “the righteous” also include Jehovah’s servants who die in our time. Thanks to the resurrection hope, we may be freed from any dread of dying.—Hebrews 2:15. What about all the people who did not serve or obey Jehovah because they never knew about him? These billions of “unrighteous” ones will not be forgotten. They too will be resurrected and given time to learn about the true God and to serve him. During a period of a thousand years, the dead will be resurrected and given an opportunity to join faithful humans on earth in serving Jehovah. It will be a wonderful time. This period is what the Bible refers to as Judgment Day.
