Tough Question!
This morning at BSF Craig asked me a question I haven't a clue about. Before I consult Matthew Henry, I thought some bright sparks here might be able to help.
The question basically is, when Saul consulted the witch of Endor (1Sam28), and she said "I see a spirit coming up out of the ground" and it turned out to be Samuel's spirit, from where exactly was he coming from (ie. where do spirits of dead people hang about)??
And in case that wasn't hard enough, Craig followed up with what did Samuel's spirit mean by the words "tomorrow you and your sons will be with me" - deady-bones, or some-place else (perhaps heaven)???
BTW, the above quotations are from the NIV; the ESV (more literal translation) says "I see a god coming up out of the earth", and same as NIV for the other.
There've been some good posts to read & think about, thanks for the contributions - we'll do a bit more recruiting now we're running smoothly.
