20. What was the consequence if people taught others that the dead are still alive?

“A man also or woman that hath a familiar spirit, or that is a wizard, shall surely be put to death: they shall stone them with stones: their blood shall be upon them. “

Leviticus 20:27

Answer: God ordered that such people (who claim to be able to contact the spirits of the dead) should be stoned. This shows God’s attitude towards the false teaching that the dead know anything after death.
