Took this from a post of mine from another site that I post on sometimes (htt://www.ex-witch.org). Thought it might prompt some interesting discussion here:
Spirit entities most certainly can't be trusted. Even one's that may tell you that they are "good spirits" (when you think about it evil deceitful spirits are hardly going to tell you that they are evil anyway). The Bible tells us that "even Satan maquarades as an angle of light".
Before I was a Christian, some of the spirits that manifested themselves through a girlfriend I had initially introduced themselves as friendly. Later though, all hell broke loose.
Author, Douglas Groothius has observed that even some prominent spiritualist practitioners themselves have recognised the potential of being deceived by untruthful spirits:
"Emanuel Swedenborg, the famous seer of the eighteenth century, was well acquainted with the spirit world, having experienced detailed visions recorded later in book form. Nevertheless, he cautioned those courting the spirits: "When spirits begin to speak with a man, he ought to beware that he believes nothing whatever from them; for they say almost anything. Things are fabricated by them, and they lie... they would tell so many lies and indeed with solemn affirmation that a man would be astonished...if a man listens and believes they press on, and deceive, and seduce." (Samuel M. Warren, A Compendium of the Theological Writings of Emmanuel Swedenborg (New York: Swedenborg Foundation, 1977, p. 618. As quoted in Douglas Groothuis, Revealing the New Age Jesus, p. 210.)
I am looking at an incredible book in fact at the moment called: The Siren Call of Hungry Ghosts: A Riviting Investigation into Channeling and Spirit Guides, by Joe Fisher. This book is the results of years of investigation by a researcher (not a Christian) who came to the conclusion that spirit entities were real, but could not be trusted.
