Question: "Since the soul is not immortal and since the body remains in the grave until the resurrection - how do you explain the APPEARING OF SAMUEL TO SAUL - AFTER SAMUEL'S DEATH?" (I Sam. 28). Answer: This scripture has puzzled many - and it was written to do exactly that! We read in Isaiah 28:11 that God would speak, "With stammering lips and another tongue... precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken." - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
