>> If the spirits of the dead came to Jesus, and He spoke with them, it cannot be wrong.<<

First off, Elijah never died.

Second, Moses died prior to Jesus death and resurrection. Everything changed after the resurrection. Jesus being truly God had powers and privileges that those of us who are only human do not.

Jesus also went down to Sheol after His death on the cross. Would you suggest that is also something available to us mere humans?

True. And Jesus spoke to Moses before the resurrection.

It would be absurd to accuse Jesus of practicing necromancy when He spoke with Moses. Yet the article at the beginning of this thread treats necromancy as communication with the dead and hints that Mormons practice necromancy. As I pointed out in Post 8, neither is correct.

Jesus also went down to Sheol after His death on the cross. Would you suggest that is also something available to us mere humans?

Since Sheol means "the grave" or "realm of the dead" (and is so translated in the NIV), I would say that every human who dies will go down to Sheol. (That includes almost all of us.) Thankfully, because of Jesus Christ, all will come out of the grave again.
