So, what do you think? Was this just another "allegorical" part of the Bible?
It reads like an actual encounter, why not assume it was?
Oh yeah, that whole "no evidence" thing you guys use to validate a closed mind.
Originally posted by SuzianneThere is 'no evidence' that the Earth is flat. Is my closed mind validated by a steadfast belief that we reside on a globe? Or does an open mind require 'evidence' on which to base a belief?
So, 1 Samuel 28?

Originally posted by vivifyYes, back in the 70's I personally knew a warlock who had many witch friends. He knew nothing about football but could tell you if a team would win. He was usually correct.
Do any Christians here believe in witches (like the Witch at Endor in the bible) that can conjure up spirits and the like?

Eric: There were male witches dancing naked around the fire.
Ernie: Warlocks!
Eric: No it's true I tell you!

Also, in the bible, a switch summoned Samuel, a prophet of God. So summoning demons, according to Christian theology, isn't all witches can do.

No, there is no such thing as magic. They are not aware that they are summoning a demon.

I believe a demon was speaking through this witch ( a familiar spirit) that can impersonate loved ones. Some times they even speak the truth or at least some truth, to become more formidable or believable in the minds of people,
