Do you think that vampires exist?

[Winken]

They have been documented living in Wellington, NZ.

I trust children are not allowed in these forums.

They are as fictional as Santa Claus.

I would say that something akin to vampires exisit, there are people who drink blood for instance

 

[Winken]

I beg to differ:

CF please do not permit children to review this hogwash.

They are as fictional as Santa Claus.

He was a real person of History. St. Nick that is.

It all depends on what you mean by "vampire".
If you mean an immortal undead being that survives by drinking the blood of the living and can only be killed by certain grisly methods, then NO, the idea is ridiculous.
If you mean a psychic vampire, a person who gets emotional satisfaction from the misery of others, those are dime a dozen.
If you mean the idiots that dress in gothic attire, go to theme parties, occasionally drink blood, and have a tough time keeping a real job, there's quite a few of them too.
At least they are not as weird as "furries".

The modern day vampire of a mysterious hunk who seduces an unsuspecting naive young lady and sips her blood turning her into an undead are nit real, but demons are real.
Demons and even the angels can morph into a mirage of the material world. The only problem I have is that some people on this thread are being hippocritical. Many I have run into believe that the sons of God of Genesis 6 were literal demons that incarnated into homosapien bodies, produced physical sperm and passed on their DNA through the woman's offspring creating a hybrid human species (and if they did that then they can or are still doing it today). So if you believe that, your in no position to deny anything else.

 

[Open Heart]

No they don't. Right up there with space aliens and bigfoot.

I actually believe there is a small chance there are space aliens or bigfoot, but zero chance of literal vampires.

 

[kaytiedid]

Highly unlikely.

Sure why not. We do not know what all exist in the darker realms

In reading this topic, it reminded me of a something.
Years ago, there was a forum that I used to frequent. (though at this time I'm not sure why...) The people on there made claims about Peter Steele formerly of Type O Negative being a vampire, and that he appears for a few years every century, before returning to the grave, etc. Obviously they were crazy fans trying to make him an idol or something. I always thought it was an entertaining plot idea for a movie.

There are people who consider themselves vampires and which have been interviewed on various shows focusing on the subject. But they are not as depicted in films. Such people are either under the influence of the Devil mentally unbalanced or both.

If you partake of the Blood of Christ, you will live forever.

 

[frettr00]

Technically, yes. There are certain Satanists that are blood drinkers.

This was something that occured to me a while ago. Is the Vampire story based on some sort of attempt to satirise the Gospel message? Maybe something along the lines of the blood libel levelled at the Jews during a similar era.

I've heard a missionary story quoting such verse from the Bible to people who probably never heard about Christ. They couldn't believe what they're hearing. I've also had one encounter with a person who thinks we Christians are vampires for drinking the Blood of Christ.

 

[IAMABELIEVER1979]

That would be scary if they did exist. But no, I don't believe that exist.

I remember seeing Lost Boys when I was 9 years old. I was so terrified going to bed.

Is there a scripture that is causing you to contemplate this or an experience? Just wondering

I do not think they exist as portrayed in the modern media. There is little factual evidence to support their existence in history also. I suppose a fallen angel could possibly materialise in such a form and parade as a vampire - so maybe before the flood?. But drinking blood would not be the thing that kept them undead. Indeed as the life of the creature is in the blood and it has always been a sin to drink blood it only plunges the person into the kind of sin captivity that disempowers rather than empowers.

We had a gothic lady stay with us once for a night (she was the friend of some relative who was also staying). She was reading one of these Vampire novels that seem so popular today. I was trying to understand why she would find such a fictional being remotely interesting. My only discernment was that it was weird kind of cry for love. People like her in the face of the spiritual void in which they live find it easier to derive a sense of self worth from associations with dark side fictional beings than from anything real or good. On reflection the whole thing sounds quite demonic really.

Even Jesus had trouble with His followers after He told them precisely this thing:

Jesus said to them, “Very truly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day. For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in them. Just as the living Father sent me and I live because of the Father, so the one who feeds on me will live because of me. This is the bread that came down from heaven. Your ancestors ate manna and died, but whoever feeds on this bread will live forever.” He said this while teaching in the synagogue in Capernaum.

On hearing it, many of his disciples said, “This is a hard teaching. Who can accept it?”

Aware that his disciples were grumbling about this, Jesus said to them, “Does this offend you? Then what if you see the Son of Man ascend to where he was before! The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you—they are full of the Spirit and life. Yet there are some of you who do not believe.” For Jesus had known from the beginning which of them did not believe and who would betray him. He went on to say, “This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless the Father has enabled them.”

From this time many of his disciples turned back and no longer followed him. (John 6)
