Paranormal

For some it is a tricky, when you ask a question using the words 'do you believe in...'. Some take the word 'believe' in the biblical sense i.e., AMN lit. means, to believe, trust, rely, etc., so to them when you ask, 'do you believe in...', you are also asking them if they trust & rely on ghost & aliens.

I am sure you are merely asking if anyone (of us) believe that they exist, and my answer is yes spirits (aka ghosts) most definitely exist, as do foriegners (aka aliens).

The question here is, how will you view these things? i.e., through the eyes of those who know who their Maker is, and rely on his testimony to measure a matter, or through the eyes of those who do not know who their Maker is, nor rely on his testimony. It is written, those who do not believe his testimony make him out to be a lier, consequently they are handed over to a delusion that will convince them to believe in a lie.

The goal would be to bathe one'self in the word of Aloah. Seek to understand it with all your heart and the Holy spirit will not leave you hanging. Be patient & persistent in your study, and Im confident you will come to the truth that will liberate you from any confusion.

What Does the Bible Say About Ghosts?

Luke 24:39
See my hands and my feet, that it is I myself. Touch me, and see. For a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see that I have.”

I'm not sure about the existence of aliens, but it seems probable given the countless galaxies/universes science has discovered. As for ghosts, yes, I believe, based on the teachings of the Bible. The Paraclete or Holy Spirit used to be (and sometimes still is) referred to as the Holy Ghost. For most people, though, ghosts bring connotations of unfriendly spirits and the Bible certainly talks about them, with Satan as the helm. See verse 12 especially below:


Ephesians 6:10-18
New International Version (NIV)

The Armor of God

10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. 18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.

Does anyone believe in ghosts or aliens? By believe I mean do you think they exist or are real?

Until 1990 when I ran into the near death experience accounts I believed that our soul/spirit slept until the appropriate resurrection. At this time I am essentially convinced that the afterlife state is vastly more complex and full of life than I ever would have imagined in the past.

The NDE of former atheist Ms. Beverly Brodsky is a great place to begin a study on this subject:

But you are not a beginner in studying such things as this are you German Guy?

Was only a question if anyone thinks that they exist. I think they do, both ghosts and aliens. BUT, I don not believe ghosts were ever human nor do I believe that aliens come from other worlds. Interdimentional is more correct, or from another realm. Heaven and hell are realms, if the devil can trick us he will. Demons don't have to be mean and cause pain, they will be pleasant and friendly if it serves thier purpose. That's just my thoughts though.

I agree with every thing you wrote here with the exception of "I do not believe ghosts were ever human."

I used to be convinced that ghosts were fallen angels, not former humans, but since reading many books on the near death experience accounts I am at this time open to the idea that a former human can get obsessively attached to a place or person here on the earth and they can cause lots of problems.
