In this explanation, Pastor Mike from Focal Point Ministries responds to a question about Saul, the witch of Endor, and whether this passage proves anything about suicide and salvation. He clarifies that God allowed Samuel—not Abraham—to appear, explains the Old Testament concept of Sheol as the general realm of the dead, and shows why this passage does not teach that suicide determines a person’s eternal destiny. Pastor Mike affirms that salvation rests on justification, not the final act of a person’s life, and that biblical terms about “joining the dead” refer to entering the realm of the departed, not necessarily Paradise or judgment.Text ASK to 90398 to ask Pastor Mike a Bible Question.Text GOLIVE to 90398 to be notified when ASK Pastor Mike is LIVE.Find more ways to learn your Bible at https://focalpointministries.org/Have a Bible Question?
