“That’s what He has angels and live human beings for.”
He does. He can also use the dead.
“Using the dead is unnecessary.”
All of this is unnecessary: creation, the earth, us, redemption, salvation. God needs none of it. He did it anyway.
“It is the work of the devil. Search the scriptures on your own and you will see that.”
I have searched them. And I came away with a clear understanding that we can set no limits on God’s power and He does what He does for His own reasons and glory.
Since you’ve researched scripture, why don’t you cite where He references it’s good and right to contact the dead? Or even real?
Wait, you searched the scripture, and came away with your own understanding?
Does the Pope know you’ve done this? Tsk tsk

Reading the bible, and coming away with a personal understanding,, interesting. Why do that if the Pope and RCC can explain it all for you anyway?
