Bible Question: Hi, I've not used the forum before and not too sure how it works - so thought I'd just come in with a question to see what happens. I'd always understood there was no such thing as Ghost's (human spirits without bodies), does this verse (and see from verse 36) suggest otherwise? |
Bible Answer: There are many spirits that do not need a body to interact with the corporal. Human spirits, however, need their 'earth suits' to interact with the temporal realm. There are incidences of apparent interaction with departed spirits that would suggest that evil spirits like to masarade as them to deceive the living. We are told by Isaiah in Isaiah 8:19 Why are you trying to find out the future by consulting mediums and psychics? Do not listen to their whisperings and mutterings. Can the living find out the future from the dead? Why not ask your God? |
