I do. As a Christian, I cannot define or put boundaries on the possibilities of what God can do.
GOD BLESS YOU

What do you mean by ghosts? If by this you mean the departed souls of other humans, then we as Christians would point out that when we die, we go to Judgement, and from there we have only two other paths, Heaven or Hell. It does not speak of any alternative. However, the Bible also says that there are more things in this world than we are able to understand, so the possibility of "something" which we refer to as ghosts is there. As for intuition, I hae not come across anything in the Bible that would lead me to conclude it does not exist. If there is a passage that someone interprets that way, I would be very interested in seeing it.

God can do anything, but that doesnt mean he DOES everything so whethere there are ghosts or intuitions has nothing to do with God, it has to do with us. I dont believe in Ghosts as being the souls of dead people. I believe they are either demons or angels... angels to bring a message or demons to scare or confuse us and bring us away from God. And intuition is a good thing, its not a spiritual thing really, its like instinct

I'm Christian and I don't think ghosts are real but I do believe it is possible. As far as intuition I have personally experienced intuition and I believe it is God sent.

As a Christian, I Know that God can do anything, and -because I am Christian, I know there are ghosts and spirits and that these entities can be seen. I think you might be confused by the Catholic teachings that deny all spirit except that of the Holy Spirit. But if the Catholics can deny all spirits, except the Holy Spirit, why call it the Holy Spirit at all? Why not just The Spirit? I mean, since it would be the only spirit, call it such, right?
All Christians are not Catholic, and all catholics are definitely not Christian.

Who said those things can't be real. What is a ghost - a being from beyond? Don't we as Christians believe in Heaven, Hell, demons, angels? Ok then. I believe there may be ghosts; but I choose not to focus on them or study them. I want to pattern myself after God - Jesus, in fact. I do believe in intuitions, too...and I don't discount it when I get that kind of message. Sometimes I say it must be God giving me subtle directions....or sometimes I say it is the master deciever giving me false messages. Either way, I beileve they are real and rely on God to direct me and protect me.

First of all... believing that God can do anything doesn't really relate to believing in ghosts. One is not contingent upon the other.
I do believe in intuition as being divinely inspired by God or a stirring in your spirit by Him. But to believe in ghosts in the relative sense - spirits of deceased individuals who wander the earthly realm because they can't find peace, or have unfinished business here on earth - negates scripture in Hebrews 9:27 which states, "And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:"
There is no wandering moment after death where you are allowed to remain as a ghost, or some opportunity to supernaturally "fix" something after you die. There are no ghosts of loved ones. But there are familiar spirits (see link below), which are demons whose primary purpose is to deceive and corrupt. Further study of the scriptures is needed to fully understand the types of spiritual wickedness that has become prevalent. But no... there are no boogeymen or ghosts like you see in Harry Potter or on TV.

Because ghosts do not exist. Satan's angels impersonate the dead. That is why God forbids involvement with the supernatural. Intuitions are different. I have not heard enough about them to say. But from what I hear, they sound kinda hokey.

God says these things exist but are not of him, so I don't think most Christians don't believe, they probably just won't participate in any thing that tries to conger up those types of spirits.

i believe in those things and im christian. the reason why some ppl are like that is because alot of them dont know, and because people dont do their research. alot of ppl claim to be christians but really their not. the bible says the true worshippers will worship. so that could be a reason why some of them dont.
