Not so angry dead

You've all seen the movie.  A living person tangles with the dead.  The dead hate the living and try to kill them. 

Not quite.  "It is appointed for man to die once, then the judgement".  I actually got in trouble on a message board for sharing that my husband had a near death experience.  I have confirmation from a police officer on the scene, and the Lifeflight hospital bill ("resuscitation") that Ron was, in fact dead. 

The moderators of the message board told me if Ron had died he would have stayed dead, all other evidence to the contrary.  I felt an overwhelming urge to clunk my head into a wall. 

Clearly, Ron died.  The police officer just a few weeks ago telling me "He was dead in the road!".  Clearly, Ron came back, which does happen with pretty good frequency from what I understand.  I have met other paratransit passengers who say they died and came back. 

I believe, though, outside of "Time to go back because it's not your time to die", we don't have any interaction with those who have died. 

Mediums interact with familiar spirits, who as the article states, work for the devil.  You want to stay away from them.  They may appear to know personal details but demons are very observant.  It's their job to gather as much information as possible, on us, so they can use it against us. 

Say, for instance, I am strongly attracted to red-headed men.  The devil might send a seemingly devout, red-headed man to tempt me into breaking my marriage vows.  (Red headed men give me the creeps). 

So, stating something like "Your mother thought you were angry at her when she died" would be true, but it is also something a demon would know.  She is with Jesus now, she knows better (my feelings towards birthmom being very complex). 

Demons hate us.  Demons and the Bible  The want to make our lives miserable.  If granted the power by God, they would love to kill us. 

But demons are not the spirits of the dead.  The dead go to heaven or hell, or are sent back to earth to "finish their term" in an earthly body. 

The dead are gone, one way or another.  If you and the dead are believers, you will see them again. 

The demons are scary, but they can only do what is permitted by God.  The book of Job is really clear on that:  Job 1 & 2  Notice how the devil has to ask permission for every attack on Job. 

God, of course, permits these attacks to strengthen us. 

Don't be scared "of the dead".  They're gone already.
