What do you suppose should happen to Hitler,or Starlin who tortured and killed millions, should God just sweep in under the rug. Had Hitler feared God, he whould not have done what he did. He was forwarned by the Word of Truth that showed what would happen to him if he did such things. If God did not forwarn then He would have no authority to punish. If God did not have punishment for the wicked then He could not forwarn and so what would be the point of obeying any law. The attitude would be, let's go rape, murder, and steal all that we want. God gives us free will to do right or wrong but we will also have to answer for what we do because we have been forwarned. But for forwarnings in societys law or Gods law, no one would have a pleasant life of any measure.
Though I have no idea of what happens after death, the explanation I have heard from Jewish folks I know makes more sense if god is who they and or Christians say it is. What I have been told is that people receive the consequences of their actions in this life. If you read through the Old Testament (Tanach), you will see that Yahweh's judgements were all earthly judgements. No real mention of the afterlife is addressed. From Jewish friends who believe in a resurrection, I am told that there is a "purification" of the soul for a certain period of time (I forget what they said as to the actual time frame), then all souls will go to Paradise.
I have no idea if it is true, but it makes way more sense than eternal damnation, especially if that damnation stems from simply not "thinking the right way."
Whether or not ghosts are real (and for the record, I think they are) says nothing about the truth of your religion. It only speaks to the existence of a reality 'bigger' than our physical universe.
Everything started off slow, ( WITH HOLY PICTURES AND ICONS BEING KNOCKED FROM SHELVES AND WALLS).
If ghost say nothing about the truth of religion. Why do they so often attack Christian pictures and Icons?
Sorry but humans are perfectly able to choose to do good or to do evil...
We are not born into it.......
I do not no what you were reading but I think I made it perfectly clear that humans are free to choose good or evil. We did not create the good or the evil as you said in the post that I responded to. Is this what you said in that post or did you mean to say choose?
That is one reputable website C34. You should warn people about poking around on that site. I was interested in astral projection and listened to the recording (see link below) And it took me hours to find my way back.
*WARNING!!!!! Everybody stay away from the Get Pregnant recording!!!*

Sorry if you had a problem mikebnllnb. The first link I put on for some reason was not the correct link. I removed that link and posted a second one. That was the link I wanted in the first place.

SO there is some kind of concern here about the lessons for imagination, as opposed to the presence of truer religious picture thought. Somehow it was difficult to get over the rambles of materialistic dogma, finding the meaning of intuition for solving problems of doubtful proportion, and ordinary fear of other people's intentions. The artist's intentions are self-aware to be Good. There is some kind of distinct substance there.
You know, I was going to stay away from this topic but pursuit of the truth just won't let me.
Not saying if ghosts are real or not. According to the title of the op that is not the question.
In this country (referring to the citing of "christians") there are more than 150m members of some version of this religion and the very basis is a ghost.
Does this belief prove the existence of ghosts? Does it surprise anyone that there are this many people passively accepting the existence of ghosts?
According to the Bible such a place was kept in store for the devil an His angels. However when the people of this earth ignore God's gift of salvation they in effect have joined forces with the devil, and will suffer the same fate. What is insane is to ignore the most wonderful gift that God could ever offer mankind. Even Christ ask the question. How shall they neglect so great a salvation?
Your view of God is merciless, those who neglect salvation need it more than ever. You think God will abandon those in such a mindset, because your mindset is willing to abandon them.

God is not like you.
Peace.
It is not my view. It is the view found in the Bible. II John 5:12 He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.
Scripture is very clear on this, and only human opinion suggest otherwise. Yet God tells us that most people will be lost in their sin. And that is because they enter the wide gate that leads to destruction. Jesus tells us only a few will enter the narrow gate that leads to eternal life. Now the ghost that people encounter would have us believe, that all of us will exist after death. And that is why they appear as someones lost aunt or uncle, ect. However, this is clearly a case of demonic deception.
