Bible Question: Shalom, brothers and sisters. I have done some studying on spiritual warfare and a little on demons. Now, clearly in the bible, we can see evidence of demonic possession,and influence. What I am looking for is any scriptual references to ghosts( not the Holy Ghost) or poltergiest. I for one do not believe in those things. However,I have talked with people who do say they believe ghosts are real. I don't know of any scipture to even get started looking for, can anyone help me to prove/disprove those things? Peace be with you all, michael |
Bible Answer: A good scripture to study might be where Paul talks with the people at Athens who were very intelligent. Read Acts 17:15-34 and see how Paul interacts with these people. My point being in Acts 17:21 (Now all the Athenians and the strangers visiting there used to spend their time in nothing other than telling or hearing something new.) Notice how Paul steers the conversation back to Christ. As you see in the last part of the chapter some began to sneer but some believed then Paul moved on. I take from this chapter that we can spend time with people telling them the gospel but not waste time with things other than the gospel. The gospel should be our main focus and bringing the conversation back to it is our aim. Then people have a choice - some believe, some do not, then we move on. Our commission is to sow the seed, God gives the increase. |
