Ghosts exist?

Answer 1

By ghost, I'm assuming you mean the spirit of departed ones coming back to haunt or be with us? In that case NO. Paul tells Christians that to be apart from the body is to be present with the Lord. Those who are not Christians, who don't believe in the sanctifying blood of Jesus, when they die, go to Hades, where they wait for the final judgment, and banishment for all eternity in the Lake of Fire.

What some have seen, which we assumed were ghost, were demons. Demons can take different forms, and impersonate a loved one, or someone else, making you believe you have seen a ghost.

Why would demons do this? If you believe in ghosts, you're less likely to believe the Bible.

Answer 2

Wow this is perhaps the most to-the-point question I've ever seen.

I don't think ghosts exist. The word ghost in the Greek New Testament was phantasma, and every time it was used it meant when someone thought their eyes were playing tricks on them - like when Jesus walked on water, appeared in the locked room after the crucifixion, and maybe one more time, I think after the resurrection. But none of these times was it an actual ghost, in context it is a very real thing, not some spirit hovering in the air.

The word Spirit is used like 370 times or something like that, and it had to do with heavenly things.

Answer 3

The are on Ghosts. Abnormal events translated into Ghosts are the really representing Devils and Jinis. A devil can touch a human been and also can live in a house. Religious practices (depends on your religion) can treat these issues

Answer 4

No, they do not. There are many people who have lost loved ones and who would desperately like to be able to talk with them again or receive messages from them. This desire is understandable, but contacting the dead is not permitted by God according to the Bible. The attempt is a sin against God and results in either deception or involvement with demonic entities impersonating the dead.
I urge you, as strongly as I know how, not to dabble or get involved in anything to do with occult practices, including this one. At best, they are deceptive and fraudulent; at worst, they can involve you in matters which are satanic in origin.

"The Bible is very clear that such things are false and will only lead you away from God and His truth. In the Old Testament God commanded, 'Let no one be found among you ... 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).

"The Bible urges us to turn in faith to Christ and to seek the truth He has given us in the Bible. God's Word alone gives us spiritual truth; any other path will lead us astray. Occult practices will never tell us with finality what is beyond the grave, but because of His resurrection we can know from Christ everything we need to know."

It is critically important for anyone who has been involved in this or any other occult practice to confess it to God as a sin, renounce the practice, and turn to Jesus Christ for His forgiveness, cleansing and protection. Consultation with a Gospel-preaching pastor may be wise. A book such as "The Bondage Breaker" by Neil Anderson has been helpful to many. It would be available through a Christian bookstore.

Answer 5

Even though there is nothing that supports ghosts are real, I have seen a couple myself and I don't need some person too smart for their own good telling me otherwise. I've seen them and they are real.

Answer 6

I personally don't think ghosts exist, but i believe that spirits exist because God is a spirit and God is real!

Answer 7

Spirits absolutely exist!

Answer 8

Yes, I really think they do. In fact, one time, I did a seance with two of my cousins and their mom, and the spirit came. It definitely made be believe. However, I don't think contacting spirits is a good thing unless they contact you first.

Answer 9

I'd like to think so, but Ive never seen one. The closest I've got is this - my mother used to leave the landing light on when I went out, so when we came in I'd switch the light off to let my mother know that I was in. One night, I came in and forgot to switch the light off. I got into bed, and I swear, I heard my dead grandmother say to me 'xxxxx go and switch the light off, its not fair on your mother', so I got out of bed, switched the light off, and I thought nothing of it til I got up in the morning and I was really scared by what I had heard!

Answer 10

No. There is no such thing as ghosts, because there is no soul. What people call the soul is actually a part of your brain (a part that controls personality) and when you die, your brain dies. No soul, no ghosts.
