How do ghosts play into your religion? and not the "holy" one either....I've always found this fascinating, how some religions adamnantly refuse to acknowledge them, some say they are angels, etc etc, so what does your religion/personal beliefs say about ghosts?

I will say as far as my "personal" beliefs, I do believe in ghosts. I feel they are the spirits of our departed loved ones who from time to time come to check on us.

so what about "bad" ghosts?

so do you believe that these "spirits" then as you put it can take form and walk among us?

My religion says there are no ghosts..They say there are just evil spirits tricking you. But I don't know its weird...I consider myself to be open to all ideas, I don't think it's written in stone. You just have to be careful and be informed...

GW, I'm sorry if this takes things off subject a little bit, if you want, maybe Rayna or I could start a new thread if you want us to, and Rayna is willing?

I also believe in miracles by God and the intercession of saints.

Rayna,

I was raised Catholic, so I've heard this term many times before. Also note that I'm not trying to bash, I love Catholicism, and where it has led me in my life.

Don't you believe that "intercession of saints" is in fact, communicating with the dead? (Deut.18:11) I never felt that the Catholic church could prove to me that doing this (praying to the dead) was Biblically correct.

Also, by doing this, aren't you discounting the verse, 1Tim.2:5 "For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Jesus Christ,..." ?

I believe that "spirits" definitely take form and walk among us, but I don't believe that it's dead people, I believe that it's angels, both God's and Satans.

I believe the same.

Ecclesiastes 9:5
For the living know that they will die; But the dead know nothing, And they have no more reward, For the memory of them is forgotten.


I believe Satan want us to think that God was not tell the truth.


Genesis 3:3-4
3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. 4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:

the problem with this lies in the fact that ghosts AREN'T angels from either "God" or "Satan"....trust me....theyre the souls of humans (or animals)...

How can you be so sure you're right about that, GW?

yes it's really me, i'm not trolling....

anyways, i know this because i can see them....say what you want, but i can...i can feel them, and can converse with some on some level....some i've had flat out conversations with, others just a mutual agreement to not acknowledge each other....they are NOT angels, they are(or were) humans...

...now if you want to talk demons (or as you put it satan's angels) those are an entire entity on their own, not in the least like ghosts, not even the same form....and yes, i've seen them too, although I don't believe in satan, demons do exist...

I have seen ghosts and do believe they are here. I believe that Angels are not ghosts...totally different. I have seen ghosts of animals as well. I do also beleive that there are demons and I know that satan exsists. I have seen to many things on both sides of good and evil not to believe them. Personally, I could do without alot of it, but I am very aware of spirits and such around me.
