Conversations With The Dead

My sister went to a necromancer / soothsayer to know if our dead and buried father is well and if he is OK. As far as I can understand the Bible, if we die we either go to heaven, to be in the presence of God, or if you’re not saved you go to hades awaiting judgment. If that is true, then how can those mediums contact the dead?

Q. I am just curious regarding these mediums contacting the dead.

For example: my sister went to a necromancer / soothsayer to know if our dead and buried father is well and if he is OK.

As far as I can understand the Bible:  If we die we either go to heaven, to be in the presence of God, or if you’re not saved you go to Hades..awaiting judgment.

So, that means that there are no “lost souls” wondering around us on the earth.  If that is true, then how can those mediums contact the dead?

A. There are no “lost souls” running around on Earth. All the departed dead are either in Heaven (believers) or Hades (unbelievers). Necromancy was punishable by death in Israel because it involves conversations with demons.(Deut. 18:9-13) So called Mediums are either defrauding their customers (likely in most cases) or are themselves being defrauded by demonic spirits posing as the dead person.
