Do Ghosts exist?

[rapture-me]

i believe these people are experiencing someting real. they are playing with the spirit realm and it is dead serious and they don't have a clue. the spirit world is getting the world ready to follow thier false messiah. people are becoming spiritual, but just the wrong spirit (AC).

[JesusFreak92]

What is your guys views on Ghost's and ufo's.

[TwinklingOfanEye]

Demonic activity.

[iSong6:3]

Demonic activity.

The spirits of the saved dead go to be with the Lord, the spirits of the unsaved dead go to Hell to await their judgment. There are no human spirits wandering around outside of those two places.

Both UFO's and ghosts are demonic activity meant to deceive. Best not to focus on things of darkness, as the Bible warns us.

Let's keep our focus on God.

Closing due to Posting Rule #6.

I was wondering if any of yall have seen the new movie 'Paranormal activity', me and one of my friends did last weekend and were speechless most of the movie, you felt like something demonic was in the theatre the strangest chills I have ever experienced ,I had to pray as soon as i got home it was that creepy, just wondering if anyone else saw it and felt the same way.

[TwinklingOfanEye]

Nope, haven't seen it. And now that you've warned me, I'll make sure i wont.
Thanks for the heads up!

[caligal]

No I haven't seen it, but don't be afraid for greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world. It might sound simplistic, but it's not. God Himself said it.

[heart_changed99]

Not my kind of movie.

A friend of mine kept trying to get me to vote for it so it would be released; I didn't vote once.

[Cherished]

No offense, but in my opinion, as Christians, we should not even think of seeing a movie like that. Paranormal things are likely demonic in nature. I am sorry you had to get spooked like that, perhaps this can serve as your warning not to partake in such 'entertainment'?

[MezzerClaw]

Movies like that chill me to my soul, I can't even watch the comercials, much less the movie itself. No thanks!

[chadishere07]

ya i suggest anyone spooked easily dont see it , i dont get spooked easily and i was really spooked afterwards, ya i aint seeing a movie like that again, i mostly felt bad for the people in the movie theater that mocked demon possession ,but there was also people balling their eyes out from being so scared ,,,yes it was that scary,,,, some of my christian friends also went home and prayed and read their bibles

[kristine]

Good grief! This reminds me of the reactions people had seeing 'The Exorcist' back in the 70's. That one still disturbs me to this day. Movies like that are creepy beyond words and are indeed demonic. It's fun to be a little spooked during this time of year but enough is enough!!!!! Movies like this are too extreme.

On the flip side, I do remember people rushing back to church after seeing the Exorcist. Maybe some of them actually got saved because they had the bajeebers scared out of them. Hmmmmmm...... Well, at any rate, I'm NOT going to see this movie. No thanks, I'll pass.

I saw it. It had a commonality with a movie called "Drag Me To Hell" released earlier this year. In both cases, the heroine in peril called on psychics for their answers. My first thought would have been clergy!
I thought it was a false note in both movies. If you have your main character choose a psychic first, and it doesn't work, have the character try an alternative!
I really struck me that the writers/directors would accept any help but Divine.

I hear Paranormal was another Blair Witch Project type movie which I thought was so boring, ridiculous, unscary, and a waste of time.

at least the Amityville folks went through the channels but they always turn to a catholic priest who needs salvation as well

Blair Witch Project was just stupid! I never saw it but heard a lot about it. Not even remotely scary, IMO....

[lisaann]

Because of having dabbled in the occult in my pre-Christ days I am so sensitive to that now I can't even stand to watch the commercials.

[Iruntherace4Him]

Thanks for the heads up, I always say to my 21 yr old son before he heads out , don't do anything I wouldn't do . He knows I keep far away from the demonic movies.

[westsnoop]

There are positives about the movie. It offered likeable characters. It should be a given that if an audience is going to fear for the protaganists, it needs to care about them. Most writers/directors in this genre just don't get that.
The pacing was slow and deliberate. Rare to see that in a movie these days. It worked to build a creepy unease. The one flamboyant effect (the burning Ouija board) seemed out of place in the building of tension.
Also interesting was the different reactions between the sexes. Women were covering their faces during the scariest scenes. The few guys I talked to wanted the scares to be BIGGER, BADDER and more frequent.

[IlovemyJesus]

Didn't see it, but one of my children did. Scared her to no end! Said she slept with her Bible after seeing it.
