Digital necromancy—the use of AI to resurrect the dead as interactive avatars, voices, or images—directly violates core biblical prohibitions against consulting the dead and practicing sorcery.

Scripture repeatedly condemns any attempt to communicate with or summon the deceased: “Let no one be found among you… who practices divination or sorcery… or who is a medium or spiritist or who consults the dead. Anyone who does these things is detestable to the LORD” (Deuteronomy 18:10-12). Saul’s consultation of the witch of Endor (1 Samuel 28) is presented as a grievous sin that brought divine judgment.

The Bible teaches that the dead are consciously in God’s presence or awaiting judgment (Luke 16:19-31; Hebrews 9:27), not lingering in a state where humans may retrieve them. To digitally “raise” someone—reanimating their likeness and simulating their personality—is a technological form of necromancy, a deceptive counterfeit that blurs the Creator-creature distinction and usurps God’s sole authority over life and death (Deuteronomy 32:39; Revelation 1:18).It also risks idolatry: we are tempted to worship or cling to an image rather than submit to God’s decree that our loved ones are gone until the resurrection. Such practices grieve the Holy Spirit and open doors to spiritual deception, no matter how “comforting” the illusion feels.

In short, digital necromancy is modern mediumship—rebellion dressed in code.
