The Woman Of Endor - Her Legacy In Scripture

The Woman of Endor - Her Legacy In Scripture

Read 1 Samuel 28:3 – 25.

1. The woman of Endor enters this story fearfully. Why was she afraid?

2. Who do you think appears in 1 Samuel 28:13? Is it really Samuel or a spirit impersonating Samuel? Explain why you think so.

3. What do you learn about occult practices from this story?

4. How, if ever, have you consulted spirits (horoscopes, cards, books, fortune-tellers, Ouija boards) to plan your future or just for “fun”? Why do you think the Bible says that nothing like this should ever be done, even for fun?

5. Consider how kind the woman is to Saul in 1 Samuel 28:21 – 25. If someone who practices the occult can also be such a kind person, how do you think that should affect your views on occult practice and practitioners? Why?
