So.The link is from the Orthodox Church in America. It is not a Catholic denomination.
Jesus is God.Was Jesus acting as a medium when Eliajah and Moses appeared to on the mountain top?
SMH...Really trying to justify your belief in praying to to dead.Were the apostles participating in witchcraft?
Nobody praying to the dead, which is forbidden (Sinful)My observation is that Old Testament commands such as this are directed against pagan practices, not Jewish practices. For example, casting lots may be considered a form of divination, but God commanded the casting of lots according to Leviticus. The apostles cast of lots to determine the replacement for Judas.
Then Aaron shall cast lots for the two goats: one lot for the Lord and the other lot for the scapegoat. Leviticus 16:8
. . . they cast their lots, and the lot fell on Matthias. Acts 1:26
Deuteronomy 18:10-13 urges: “Let no one be found among you who sacrifices their son or daughter in the fire, who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft, or casts spells, or who is a medium or spiritist or who consults the dead. Anyone who does these things is detestable to the LORD; because of these same detestable practices the LORD your God will drive out those nations before you. You must be blameless before the LORD your God.”
Will you continue to say' "Did God really say...?
