1. is there a website where you can ask questions about God and receive answers like forums besides yahoo answers?
2. are ghosts really demons? it seems most people come by ghosts because a person died in a house or died at a sugar factory or boat and haunt it. so does this mean once you die you can't come back, not even to fix things or make things right like say if you were murdered,maybe ive been watching too many movies. if ghosts are myths, what about angels, or angel of death , or miracle angels, gaurdian angels?
3. my handicapped brother was autistic, fragile x syndrome, and etc. he did not speak, he screamed, but did not speak or understand. he was always throwing balls and rocking back n forth. he passed away last month. when it comes to God , what happened to my brother when he died?
4. is there a certain chapter in the bible that speaks about what happens once we die? do our thoughts really perish? if thats true what about the ones we loved on earth? do we forget them?

1. yes there is bluepyramid.org
2. I believe in ghosts but I dont think people come back to fix anything from their previous life...
3. God was there when you brother passed away but dont blame him for what happened because God choose's who he take's..you have to think a lot of people die everyday, elderly, babies, children, but there is nothing for you to do once they are gone but the memories you had with the loved one who passed..
4. I have just started reading the bible so I have no idea if there is or not...someone told me that in the bible God says that after Jesus comes and the people who got to go to heaven will know who there loved one's are if they are in heaven also but the loved one's who dont get into heaven you will not remember because heaven is paradise and you dont feel pain for the loved one's who didn't get to go...
Just pray and ask Jesus to forgive you for your sins everyday and just believe....

in general....2-A Ghost is a ghost a demon is a demon.....A ghost is a dead being trapped in the earthly plane(not a good place to be if your not in physical form) a demon is from a lower existence than ours..
Yes angels also exist, and there are different kinds( they were made to serve us)and to do a job
..yes you can come back in the flesh if you have lived to a certain standard, to help others or what have you..but there is a big big cue....
Plus there are much better places to be than on earth. And if you were murded you will see THAT there was a reason for that, and that nothing is random.....
3-Your BROTHER is in another place that some call heaven!!!!!!!!!!
4- this ones a bit trickey and would require a very long answer, but i will keep it short and general......
We NEVER PERISH...We just leave the sight of our loved ones.....we will see our loved ones again........

Demons will act and pose as if they were ghosts because their main goal is to make us believe there is no such thing as God no such thing as demons -and ghosts make us think there is no after life and that there are no demons they are lost souls.
Demons do all they can to distract us from truth.
There are angles they are used all through the bible, as messangers, as guardians, as keepers, they all have duties to perform. And still exist today.
Your brother is considered still as innocent as child and Jesus comends that as a great thing for all people to be- He compares us to children saying we should be like them and full of faith. God will not condemn him.
Revelations explains heaven well, but all through the bible are there times or phrophets that speak of heaven one way or another.
Our thoughts DO NOT perish, how awful that would be! We will remember EVERYTHING. We would not then remember Jesus and what He did or how we found our way to Him and heaven. We will remember peoples, friends, family, and all the things we remember today.

Answer 1) http://www.academiaandgodforum.com
Answer 2) If you read the Bible from cover to cover, you will never find the phrase "immortal soul." The human soul is not a spirit. The teaching of the immortal soul is not a Bible teaching.
(Ecclesiastes 9:5-6) For the living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all.
Answer 3 and 4) Some are taught in church that Hell is a place of suffering where evil souls go and Heaven is where good people go.
This is also not a bible teaching:
Did Abraham die and went to a ever-burning hell? Surely idol worshippers would not be in heaven. Yet, Abraham was with his forefathers, Scripture says.
Joshua 24:2 - "Terah, the father of Abraham, and the father of Nachor; and they served other deities," Genesis 15:15. "And you shall go to your fathers".
King David was a righteous king he must of gone to heaven? NO?
Acts 2:34 - For David did not ascend into the heavens.
When Lazarus died Jesus spoke to Martha that he was in Heaven? NO?
John 11:11 - Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep.
Besides Jesus there must of been some one righteous enough to go to heaven? NO?
John 3:13 - No one has ascended into heaven except he who descended from heaven, the Son of Man.
When Jesus kingdom arrives he promised the good will go to heaven. NO?
Matthew 5:5 - Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.
Surely people who are holy as saints and priests will rule with Jesus in heaven? NO?
Revelation 5:10 - You have made them to be a kingdom and priests to serve our God, and they will reign on the earth."
finally, the second death (from Rev 21:8) is a location for bad people to suffer in a fiery place. NO?
Rev 20:14 - And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
-The Second death is a judgment not a location. Jesus is promising that those who are not wicked will be resurrected and never die again. (Rev 20:15)
Verdict: Death is Hell. It's the grave where we are like in a sleep like state but have no conscience thought. Waiting to be brought back to life if we have followed Jesus teachings.

The Bible says the dead know nothing. Once you die, I belive, your spirit goes to CHRIST or hell. Untill the Lord returns to the earth to take up his bride. I would assume your brother's spirit, the essence of who he is, is with the Lord. One day when the Lord does come to take those who believe in Him home, your brother will be perfect, all the pain of this life will be wiped away. As for your other questions, i do not know. No one has all the answers, keep that in mind. Even those who say things regarding to rationality do not have all the answers. The Lord is not rational, it is silly of us to compare Him or try to hold Him to the understanding of this world, He is far more then that. Keep faith, one day you just may be reunited with your brother and see him without suffering and truly happy

1. Here is one bible forum for you.
http://bibleforums.org/forum/index.php
2. Ghosts are real, as are demons and angels. I would not
suggest to you to go seeking the other realm though unless you know what you are doing
3. Kimmy by sympathy to you and your family on the loss of your dear brother. You are all in my prayers.
Heaven will be deeply appreciated by the disabled, who will be liberated from ravaged bodies and minds, and by the sick and elderly who will be free from their pains and restrictions. They will walk and run and see and hear, some for the first time.
In Heaven, everyone is free of earthly afflictions and live happy, healthy and normal lives.
4. Ill get back to you soon with the answer

A lot of questions going on here.... Yes, there are other sites. Ghosts are not demons but demons can appear to us as ghosts. Humans do not become angels or ghosts. If your brother was not able to discern...mentally unable to reach the age of accountability, he was as a very young child, he has salvation. Death of our bodies and our destination is talked about in the Bible. God is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living. We are who we are..in this life and the next. We will remember loved ones and will recognize them when we are reunited. There is reference to the dead not knowing anything... as if they simply ceased to exist. However, we must remember that the true definition of "Dead" is the second death... eternal damnation and separation from God and Heaven. We who belong to Christ live forever.

1. www.amazingfacts.org
2. Ghosts or spirits or apparitions are really evil angels according to the Bible. More detail is given in answer to question number 4.
3. Your brother died and if he was mentally challenged or totally unable to intelligently respond to the concept of love, he will remain dead and not be resurrected or face any judgment. He will be as though he had never existed.
The only exception is if God foresaw that his disability was the only obstacle in the way of your brother's potential to reflect the character of Christ and enjoy heaven. If 'God chose to, he could cause him to live again in heaven with perfect mental ability.
4. Yes, the Bible makes it plain that when we die we are dead.

This is assuming that a "creator god" actually exists as people put forth. What if your brother was simply born with autism due to causes and conditions beyond anyone's control? What if the Bible is simply a nice collection of stories that shouldn't be taken literally? Think outside the box my friend.

As for your brother God love us all but those people like your brother who didnt know right from wrong are the most precious of gods children. His purposes on this planet were numbered but one of them was to get a body. Others may have been to teach your family love or compassion. He has received his exaltation immediately. He has also been healed and waits for his family to join him. As for it being in the bible? its in their but the spirit has to guide you.
