Was it a mistake for God to send Samuel to speak to Saul? Or do you think that it was Fake-Samuel that appeared, some sort of demon? Or if it was the real Samuel, then what does that say about your theology regarding communion with the saints in heaven?

I'm looking and thinking that to keep a site alive and interesting one needs the Other to liven things up a little. I wonder if that has always been so. If the Israelites needed opponents and if Christians from the beginning have needed the other for evangelism, for stimulating interactions...
