christians?

Question

What do you think about when people have pictures of actual aparitions? Do you think they are angels?

I always thought of aparitions as evils spirits sent by satan (demons) that take form of a ghost. But recently have seen photos (can't tell if they are real obviously the kind of technology out there...you can make anything fake look real. ) like of aparitions at the scene of an accident or of an aparition by a child. Some appeared to have wings. This made me think of them in another way. DOn't know if I believe they are angels or not. But I know I do not believe that an actual ghost exsists.

Answer 1

One never knows for sure...does one?


aparitions are anything that appears....

Answer 2

Okay, I must first say that I have sorta seperated from the church, I have all the respect for everyones choice in religion in general, but Christianity is based on faith, plus most take the bible literally when is should be used as a learning tool and looked at metaphorically. This causes Christians in general to be closed minded because of their teachings, therefore they would either say that something happened to the film as it was being developed, or that it was an angel. I however do not have a better answer, I have my opinion, but I can ask questions that probably rebute that claim. First off The bible says that God will never change, therefore If we are seeing aparitions, are they wearing robes and tunics? Next I have heard it said that angels are not the same as us, they are not given salvation, they are only to serve God, therefore why would they show up in pictures looking the same as us? Last, if they were angels, would we not know, the people in the bible always did? Basically to summarize all this, I should say that this is where we should be looking and investigating so that we may know the truth.

Answer 3

Dear love not hate,

i think it's a hard question to answer. i have yet to see a picture of an actual apiration that was real (not altered in some way) or clear. Not knowing if those apirations are true- it's hard to identify it as an angel.

However, that does not mean that angels do not exist and that people have not seen them. We see accounts in the Bible of people seeing angels and i've heard many stories from missionaries overseas about seeing angels.

i personally don't focus too much on aparitions-- just focus on maintaing a closeness to Christ.

Hope that helps. Kindly,

Nickster

Answer 4

I have yet to see a picture of an actual apparition that could not have been explained in some other way, usually lighting or the fact the film was exposed twice.

If it were true, if we had actual pictures, video, etc., then it would be on the major news network.

Answer 5

Show me a picture of an apparition...I've been watching Ghost Hunters for what...3 years now? I've never seen a full apparition...

I've also ghost hunted with the ghost people in a town near here(a bunch of people get together) and I've never seen a fully body apparition.

Answer 6

maybe people need aparitions to help them from dying.

Answer 7

With the technology these days, you can't trust pictures, or video or incidentally, what you find on the web, unless you consider the source, and verify it by other means.
To answer your question; no, I think they're hoaxes by people who want attention.

Answer 8

Angels are spirit. They only appear in special occasions. Otherwise I would blame poor developing.

Answer 9

Nope

Answer 10

Nope, I never believe something at face value.
