What does God say about speaking to the dead? In the book of Deuteronomy chapter 18 says “anyone who inquires of the dead, for whoever does these things is an abomination to the Lord.” Ecclesiastes says “…the dead know nothing, and they have no more reward, for the memory of them is forgotten. Their love and their hate have already perished, and forever they have no more share in all that is done under the sun (see Ecclesiastes 9:5-6).  A person that ceases to exist in the early realm is no more and has no place and as the scripture’s states “no more share in all that is done under the sun.”
