"No wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light." [2 Corinthians 11:14] Watch out for feel-good self-delusions.

Interesting quote Kosta.

Back to the original topic, wouldn't this be a clear admonition to not fall down and pray to apparitions, or build doctrines around a dead human having supernatural powers?

FWIW, I think we forget that there is a spiritual war going on all around us.

They don't have to be apparitions. They can be our own mental projections, our wishes, our illusions as well as our delusions. When someone says "the Spirit guides me," I raise my eyebrows.

Let me tell you: everyone says that. The name of the Lord, Holy Spirit, is probably the most blasphemed name of God, for it is used like spare change. And we know what the Bible says about that. [Mark 3:29, Luke 12:10]
