If people are not prepared to believe God’s Word (the Bible), they won’t be persuaded even if a dead person came back to warn them.

I’ve been to a medium. She nailed my Uncle Frank’s voice, but none of his answers bore out in the long run.
if a dead person came back to warn them.
Wait, ignoring Jesus and Lazarus for a moment, is Necromancy even Biblical? Are Zombies and/or Revenants even mentioned there? And if they came back to warn us about Hell, how is that even possible if Hell is supposedly eternal and inescapable?
I mean, even Ham’s own Holy Book tends go against this afaik… It’s like saying “if Zeus and Odin came down to earth to tell us Christianity is the only true religion”. Is Ham a heretic?
Or perhaps, the frenzied desperate delirium of a brain at the threshold of death simply may produce, among other things, hallucinations of ideas about what comes after death…
@Timjer #189169 Witch of Endor (not that Endor), who was consulted by King Saul after falling out of God’s favour to summon the spirit of the late Prophet Samuel in a desperate attempt to gain insight into the war against the Philistines, but instead is foretold that he is doomed (it may be noted that several religious traditions differ in what actually happened, primarily if it was actually Samuel or a demon, due to its possible implications on the existence and nature of the afterlife).

And who was that, outside of a story? Also, I would be more prone to believe if it didn't have to come with incredible general ignorance and disdain of knowledge. If Jesus really appeared and spoke to us directly, you really think that he'd push King James fundamentalism and 18th century pseudoscientific US Canyon centric Young Earth Creationism? I didn't think so. Oh, and you don't think that he'd expose you as a dishonest exploitator? You don't remember of that story with the whip?
Confused?
