"Many people today, including a vast number of the heads of nations, seek counsel from psychics, channelers, and spiritualists. Spiritualism has invaded the churches, as well, with the false teaching of the immortality of the soul.
--The Bible teaches that the dead are dead,
--that the dead cannot communicate with the living,
--and that immortality is a gift from God given to the righteous at His second coming.
The confusion surrounding this Bible topic began at the very beginning when the father of lies, Satan, setting the stage for his last day deceptions, preached the first sermon on the immortal soul. And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: Genesis 3:4".
