Christians say that if you are able to talk to ghosts, you are being influenced by the devil. So...what do you call it when a priest can talk to god? He is a ghost!!!

I'm Christian and I believe that being able to communicate with ghosts is a gift not a curse.
In fact Christians should know this because in the bible it says that one of the gifts from the holy spirit is a 6th sense. I'm not sure where it says this but I do know that it does say it because I read it. I would love to be able to speak to spirits and I think that anyone who can is truly blessed. Besides, I think that it's the Catholic Christians who say that it's a curse, but I'm not certain. Now that you have me thinking you should also ask; If you can speak to the dead than does this mean your possessed? I mean come on. These Christians must have a lot of sins that they need to cover up if they feel the need to tell someone that they're being influenced by the devil. After all isn't it true that your more likely to tell someone what their doing wrong when in fact it's you who's doing something wrong?

There are no ghosts, at least not the way you're referring to it. When people die, they cannot communicate with people on earth. We know this because in the bible, we are shown a view into hell at one point, and they ask to tell theyre family that hell is very real and to live an upright life. However, they are not allowed to. The closest thing to ghosts the way youre thinking of are Demons and angels. God is not a ghost, Father son and the the holy ghost or spirit. It is not a ghost the way youre thinking. That is what they mean when youre talking to ghosts you are being influenced by the devil, because chances are, you're talking to a demon. Second, not all christians believe that only a priest can talk to God. Prostestants believe that anyone and everyone communicates with God when they pray. There is a celebration in heaven whenever just one person turns to God.

Anybody can talk to God. Any priest will tell you that. That does not mean that everybody who talks to God is a ghost. It means that because you are a human being, you are, in some fashion, connected to God because God is connected to us by becoming a human being. That's good news because God's Son is living proof of God's love for us.
What Christians disagree with is called necromancy, the conjuring up of dead people's spirits. It is of the occult and forbidden in the Bible.

You are right. There was a rule in Jewist only the godfather can communicate with god. In old testiment, there were 12 sons of Isbaham divided 12 stripes. The Levi stripe had no land granted because they were priests who were contributed by other 11 stripes granted with land. These kind of rules will cause out problems and that is why Jesus Christ ruined this rule and the Jewist did not confess Jesus is Christ. They preferred Christ did not come yet. Otherwise the Levi were unemployment.

Christian don't understand the concept of Ghosts. If they did that would mean that they spirits dwelling on this Earth didn't die and Burn in Hell or Go to Golden Heaven. I think that once they stop and understand what is actually happening they will accept it. I am a Ghost Hunter, and Christian maybe not the strongest Christian but a Christian none the less.

Good point, and you've shown the ghost/demonic claim to be illogical and inconsistent. However, not all Christians have any issues with mediums or clairvoyants or psychics. Many do, though. Especially the fundamentalists. And your comment absolutely applies to them.
