This view is identical to the doctrine of the immortal soul, which holds that the soul lives on eternally even after death.
This philosophy is the same lie that Satan spoke in the Garden of Eden when he said, “Ye shall not surely die” (Genesis 3:4).

Time magazine is helping prepare people to welcome the spirits of the dead by promoting the idea that the dead don’t really die. Once again, the great deceiver seeks to take control of our minds, and it is unfortunate that this generation listens to everything else except God and His truths.
“But in their gatherings, the angels of darkness assume the forms of dead friends, and communicate with them as angels of light. Their loved ones will appear in robes of light, as familiar to the sight as when they were upon the earth. They will teach them, and converse with them. And many will be deceived by this wonderful display of Satan’s power. The only safety for the people of God is to be thoroughly conversant with their Bibles, and be intelligent upon the reasons of our faith in regard to the sleep of the dead. Satan is a cunning foe. And it is not difficult for the evil angels to represent both saints and sinners who have died, and make these representations visible to human eyes. These manifestations will be more frequent, and developments of a more startling character will appear as we near the close of time” (Review and Herald, April 1, 1875).
We can only be protected from the deceptions that are coming to our world if we verify everything with the word of God.

Sadly, people would much rather
talk to spirits than to God.
Many Christians will converse with these demonic spirits, believing that they are deceased friends or family members, without realizing that they are actually going “over the abyss to clasp hands with spiritualism” (Last Day Event, p. 131)."
