[Eccl 10:2]

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?

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.
