Can We Communicate with the Dead?

I have come across a few people here in Blogland who believe that we can and should communicate with our loved ones who have passed away. I don't want to be the one to break this to people, but people who think they are seeing and talking to their loved ones are actually seeing and communicating with familiar spirits, not their loved ones at all. They are really fallen angels, and the Bible is very clear that this is an abomination before the Lord and should not be practiced.
Deuteronomy 18:9-13 says, "When thou art come into the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations. There shall not be found among you [any one] that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, [or] that useth divination, [or] an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch, or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer. For all that do these things [are] an abomination unto the LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee. Thou shalt be perfect with the LORD thy God."
A necromancer is a person who tries to consult with the dead. It wouldn't be an abomination to the Lord if we could actually consult with those who have gone on before us, but we can't. We aren't communicating with our loved ones at all, but evil spirits posing as our loved ones.
In Luke 16 we read the story of the rich man and Lazarus, the begger. In verse 26, it says "And besides all this, between us and you there is a great chasm fixed, so that those who wish to come over from here to you will not be able, and {that} none may cross over from there to us." The rich man wanted Abraham to send Lazarus back to warn others about Hades, but Abraham told him that it wasn't possible.
If you rebuke the familiar spirit that you think is a loved one and command it to leave, it will. Please, don't continue to communicate with familiar spirits, thinking that they are loved ones. This is very displeasing to the Lord and opens you up to even more evil spirits to come into your life.

Why Does God Use Angels?

Okay, this is a question that has been going around in my head for a while. Why does God use Angels? He certainly doesn't need them. He is all-powerful, omnipresent, all-knowing, etc. He doesn't need any other being to accomplish His will here on earth or anywhere in existence. So why does He have them do things that He could do for Himself? The Word says in Hebrews 1:14 "Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?" Just wondering. Anyone have any thoughts about this?

Hi Everyone!
I took a much needed break from Big Church, and I think I am ready to come back now. I have taken steps that will hopefully prevent alot of the junk that I was exposing myself to before from getting into my spirit anymore, so hopefully I will be able to stay here at Big Church. I had my dating profile turned off. I am not going to open the IM window unless someone that I know wants to meet me there. I am not going to visit the blogs of the people spreading the false teachings here at Big Church and I have blocked those people from commenting on my blog. Hopefully, these things will work, because I have missed you all very much! I have missed reading the blogs and posting articles myself. Many times this is my Bible study for the day. Well, I have alot of reading here to catch up on, so I had better get to it!
Be blessed in Him!
Jean

Good-bye

It is time to say good-bye to Big Church for me, I believe. I will, at the least, be taking an extended break from this website. I have made some good friends here. You know who you are. I want to thank you for being there for me and giving me the opportunity to get to know you.
I can't take the things that I have been exposed to here any longer. I have had dozens of men from Africa posing as Americans in order to get my money. I have had men who wanted to have sex online and otherwise with me. I have even had women who wanted to talk sex talk with me. I have been forced to contend for my faith against people who claim to be Christians but are nothing more than wolves in sheep's clothing. You know who you are. I have also been used and abused in other ways that I won't get into.
My heart is breaking over the things that go on here at Big Church. I have seen other women and men deeply hurt by this website, also. Some have left. Others have chosen to stay. I say whatever works for them is what they need to do. I have done my best to fight the good fight and to try to see the good in people here. I feel the Lord telling me it is time to move on now, though.
I have had the awesome privilege of leading people to the Lord through Big Church. I have been able to help people in many other ways, also. I am honored that people here would allow me to speak into their lives. Thank you so much for that opportunity. I will miss so many people here. If you want to get in touch with me, ask around. There are people here who know how to get in touch with me.
Take care, everyone, and be blessed in Him!

Top Ten Ways To Be Good Relationship Material
|
Feb 23, 2006 6:12 am

1. Don’t be unavailable.
Don’t say you are available and then be consumed by something or someone other than the person you are seeing. Really be available to that person if you really want to have a relationship.
2. Don't cling, demand or beg for attention.
Don’t be too clingy and obsessive with the other person. Respect their need for time to themselves and for other relationships in their life.
3. Don't manipulate or ask leading questions.
Allow the other person to give things freely to you, not because they feel compelled by your manipulations. People don’t like to be treated as puppets.
4. Don't marry him or her in your head.
If you barely know a person and already have your heart set on walking down the isle with them, it will be obvious and will scare them off. Stay in the moment and enjoy the journey. Day dreaming about the future possibilities is healthy, but don’t mistake day dreaming for reality.
5. Don't try to force the relationship.
Accept the other person for who they are. Don’t try to change them, their behavior or dreams. See if you are a fit for them as they are. Don’t try to make them into what you want them to be.
6. Don't come on strong.
Don’t try to sweep the other person off their feet. Flames that shoot up quickly usually die out just as quickly. Let the relationship develop at a natural pace. Don’t rush things.
7. Don't expect to be saved or fixed.
Don’t expect the other person to fix your personal issues. A healthy person has what it takes to work out his or her own issues and doesn’t require help from someone else.
8. Don't give up yourself, your opinions or your values.
Don’t take on the other person’s characteristics, opinions or values hoping to get them to like you better. A person who does that does not have a healthy love for himself or herself.
9. Don't block communication.
Relationships, by definition are for relating to the another person, be they romantic or otherwise. Relating means communicating. If you do not communicate, you do not have a relationship. So, you must know how to and desire to communicate effectively.
10. Don't play games - be honest.
Honesty does not mean revealing all your deep, dark secrets on the first date. It does mean being truthful in everything you say, though, and being willing to share things in an open manner as your relationship develops.
