I caught my dead husband soothing our son on a baby monitor and posted it on TikTok

He came back physically, in a glorified body. His glorified body is not temporary, it is just exists in a dimensional variable greater state than we now perceive. So when He appeared in the Upper Room after His resurrection He was "at" the Upper Room before He stepped into the spacetime of the Upper Room.

The analogy is understood like a three diemnsional spatial object is only sensed by a two spatial dimensional being only where the three variable object is "in" the two variable realm, the intersection point between the three and the two. The scene in Daniel chapter five illustrates this "intersecting" as the being to whom the hand belonged had only the hand in the spacetime of the palace party central writing on the wall. But the being exists physically in some where/when undetected by the partiers except where He reached nto their spacetime to write on the wall.

I use the term spacetime because this other variable dimensuional realm, has space and time but with more variable expression than our current perception state. In the analogy by adding one more variable expression the three variable object is invisible to the two variable being except where the three intersects the two variable realm. The being writing on the wall in palace party central was "in" the spacetime of the palace only "AT" his hand /wrist /arm. "Add" one more variable of space and/or time and the 'thing' is no longer perceived by our limits state as we are fashioned now. At the moment of the Rapture of all believers we will be transformed int he twinkling of an eye into beings with more variable expression, in glorified bodies invisible to beings in the world around us. THEN we will be caught up together with the dead in Christ who have been given new glorified bodies and souls, to meet the Lord as He is now,(1 John 3:2) in the air.

An interesting post, and I’m not disagreeing with you.

It’s a very interesting topic, and we will all find out some day soon.

Just getting back to the original topic, I ask the question:

Could a deceased father come back as an “orb” or spirit of some kind to comfort the newborn son he never met in the flesh?

Nothing I believe (and I am Christian without qualification - Jesus is my Savior and Lord), or have read in the Bible, or have seen written in the responses of other believers here, would say that he definitively could not.

So, yes, it could happen. I just don’t think we humans know enough about the topic right now to say it could not happen.

I agree, brother/sister! One point to ponder: if the spirit body can touch the spacetime we ow perceive, would the point of intersection appear as an orb of light at the intersection?

I know a man who was at a nuclear missle detachment when theglowing orbs appeared at the site and effected the missles. Hwe perceived a very large orb of orangish light hovering first outside th gates and then over the silos. The axiom I work off of: God does miracles; Angels use technologies; there are good Angels and bad Angels. The Bible tells us that satan can appear as an angel of light. I wonder what color his light would appear as, since he is not pure in love?

“ Women are nuts. (Except for female Freepers).”
Well. There’s “Cathi” (aka Katya aka Katerina)”

Why, because she doesn’t buy into your insipid Ukraine propaganda?

PS- I pinged her for you. You know, like you do when you refer to someone on the board.

Thanks for sharing that with me. I found it quite amusing that I am rattling his cage...:-) Truth can be very frustrating to the more cerebrally challenged...:-)

Scripture says we were made in God's image. Angels have been said to look like humans only with different abilities and much taller. When fallen angels mated with earth women, they made 9 foot monsters with 6 fingers and toes with double rows of teeth. I'm fairly confident that we will resemble angelic form in our new bodies. The body is just a container for the Spirit, however. If you looked at an acorn without knowledge, could you ever imagine an oak tree from it.

God took the form of a pillar of fire, a burning bush, a talking donkey, a whirlwind, and finally a man called Jesus. There is a detailed description of Jesus in Revelation with fiery eyes and bronze feet as the Lion of Judah. I'm confident that I will be pleased with whatever He gives me in the resurrection.

I believe when you die here you go to Jesus and stay there until the Judgement. I've hears of people saying "I saw Grand Ma at the foot of the bed, but I believe these are spirits that look like Grand Ma. Dead humans cannot go between earth and Heaven with their own will. Remember you can entertain angels without knowing it.

This "orb" could be something spiritual but we don't know. How does she know the baby is being calmed? The baby will probably be more soothed by the mother stroking it's head and speaking softly than a light shining on it's head.
