supernatural

If something exists, it is by definition natural. The article from Big Think discusses the possibility that ghosts may be real, but not supernatural. The author, Dean Radin, is a parapsychologist who has spent his career studying the paranormal. He believes that there is evidence that ghosts...

I'm listening to the book 'The Veil: an invitation to the unseen realm' by Blake K Healy. He's a Christian and claims to have seen both demons and angels since he was a child. This isn't something I learned about growing up as a Methodist and I've always tended to stay away from the subject...

My pastor has scheduled me to lead a discussion group in our church. For our session, I chose the above theme. Perhaps you can help me prepare for this. As Christians, we have a supernatural faith in a secular age. We believe in the resurrection in an age that accepts death as the ultimate...

I had a dream last night that I was in a large airplane with a handful of people I did not know. This plane didn’t have any seats it was almost like a cargo plane. I sensed in my spirit something was wrong, I looked out the window only to see the right wing completely on fire. I looked around at...

Who We Choose to Be Our Source? Matthew 16:8-12 In Matthew 16:8-12 Jesus was trying to show them, who is the source of their provision, by mentioning to them the two occasions, when he provided food for thousands of people, by a miracle. The reason Jesus mentioned those to occasions of...

November 15, 2018 In Facebook I saw this: “Why what is about romance? Is but natural for lovers to have romance especially to married people?” But since 1990 I have been teaching and counseling for Ephesians 5 marriages. Most marriages in the USA were not Holy Spirit urged marriages. In...

What is the supernatural and why is it different from natural? Why do people call things like ghosts or spirits supernatural? If they exist why wouldn't they just be considered natural phenomena that we haven't discovered or at least can't yet explain? The only time I can think of something as...

The arrogant apperance of the title was just an attention grabber. I desperately need help. I want to ask people not to answer this thread unless they know their bible doctrines. Saying, "well God is love and He wouldn't do that," will not help me. I grew up in a Christian home and was always...

Throughout my entire 35 years of living, people in and out of my life have claimed to witness or experience undeniable, visible, and/or tangible events that are never so obvious or observable to the general public. It's for this very reason that the skeptical side of me admittedly throws the...

Hi my name is Pastor John Green and I live at the Gold Coast, Australia. I am serving as support Pastoral Team at Dream Centre Christian Church here in the Gold Coast. Prior to me settling in Brisbane with my wife and son, I was the Pastor of a Baptist Church in Sydney for 13 years. It was at...

I had a thought, which I am not claiming to be completely original, but that I have not heard articulated in a discussion, which I am also not claiming to not have simply forgotten, and I thought it might make for interesting discussion. I think most people would agree that corporations, in the...

One could categorize it as horror fantasy/supernatural but the thing is it's based on Christianity. So vampires, werewolves, and witches (those who aren't human anymore that is) are all demons in the flesh where as what humans have called Fae are actually angels who have a physical form. The...

I used to read a lot of young adult dystopian and fantasy novels but it seemed almost over night several years ago that my tastes changed and I prefer to read non fiction most of the time now. I think that is down to God clearing out negative influences for me which I'm grateful for. However...

I read an essay some time ago, I can't remember who wrote it, but he identified as a Christian. He wrote that he didn't take the miracles of Jesus literally; according to him they did not actually take place, but are metaphors for something deeper; stories pointing to a spiritual truth. He...

I remember in 2010 driving down a two lane road near some bad construction. It was raining very bad that day and the road was pretty nasty. I remember going through the green light and a car was coming at least 40 mph in the wrong lane coming towards me. There were traffic barricades and work...
