Re: Witch of Endor
It’s like this, the Bible writer said it was Samuel. Not a demon, not a lying spirit. Not much you can do with a verse that doesn’t play around and comes out and tells you numerous times that the awoken dead guy has a name, and it is Samuel. Hey, I would love to read the parchment which says she brought up a demon, angel, or lying spirit who feigned itself as Samuel. But I don’t have it available. Samuel was brought up for one sole purpose, and one sole purpose only. No other instance in the Bible do we see a recreation of something similar. Saul needed to have Samuel tag him for the last time. It would have made no sense for a demon to do the job, and a lying spirit seemingly told the truth that night. Saul had become the enemy of God, and God put Saul on silent. Samuel was awoken to tell Saul that Saul was finished.
