Is it a sin to be “ghost hunting”?

[SnoopBean9110]

I’m 14. I really like demonology and “ghost hunting”. And not to sure if it would be considered as a sin to be ghost hunting. And finally, I despise ouija boards, magic balls, crystals and tarot cards so much that if someone brought them to a site with me and I found out. I would burn it on the spot!!!

In the time of the Old Testament, seeking the advice of or making contact with the dead was a practice of Israel’s pagan neighbors. The Law of God strictly forbade contacting the dead; the practice of seeking the dead was “an abomination” (Deuteronomy 18:11–12). The Law warned against turning to mediums and necromancers in several places (Leviticus 19:31; 20:6, 27).

Consistently throughout the Bible, communications with the dead are associated with evil. The good king Josiah was known for eliminating all such practices during his reign (2 Kings 23:24). Interestingly, King Saul also rid the land of mediums and spiritists during his reign, but then, when God had turned away from him, he disguised himself and visited a medium, the so-called witch of Endor. In one of the most enigmatic passages in all Scripture, the medium proceeds to call up the spirit of Samuel, and the deceased prophet gives Saul the same message he had already received from God—namely, that Saul’s kingdom would be taken from him (1 Samuel 28:1–25).

My question for you is; if you are a Christian, why participate in what is demonic? What does light have to do with darkness? I know the Bible is not clear on a lot of subjects, but if you have the slightest inclination that something might be a sin, it probably is.

Yeap. Necromancy is not something your god condones.

I'm sure someone out there would consider it a sin, but realistically there's nothing wrong with it. My girlfriend grew up in a very Catholoc household and liked tarot cards, and her parents put up with it.

As long as you "believe that God is the one true god," people shouldn't have an issue. The only people who might are some more extreme catholics, but just because they believe it's a sin that doesn't mean it actually is a sin.

At 14 you're too young to be out past your bedtime, let alone out hanging in such spots.

Surprising not true all the time.

I'm not religious. im an agnostic jew. While i don't believe that things like marchosias are actually real, im open minded on the idea that ghosts of regular people, might be real

[CountessSarah]

If you're christian, then ghosts literally aren't even part of your mythology.

[Part2603]

Lol, you must be great at parties.

[CountessSarah]

Meaning?

[Paul09]

Religion is not real. Nor are ghosts, spirts, demons. So your good
