Apropos of nothing, some years ago the possession of heroin was decriminalized.
...it was the guy who answered the door.
Anything like that?
Ecclesiastes 9:5 NIV
For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing; they have no further reward, and even their name is forgotten.
1 Samuel 2:6 NIV
“The Lord brings death and makes alive; he brings down to the grave and raises up.
Job 7:9 NIV
As a cloud vanishes and is gone, so one who goes down to the grave does not return.
Psalm 6:5 NIV
Among the dead no one proclaims your name. Who praises you from the grave?
Psalm 88:5 NIV
I am set apart with the dead, like the slain who lie in the grave, whom you remember no more, who are cut off from your care.
Psalm 89:48 MIV
Who can live and not see death, or who can escape the power of the grave?
Isaiah 38:18 NIV
For the grave cannot praise you, death cannot sing your praise; those who go down to the pit cannot hope for your faithfulness.
Death is final until the Resurrection at Christ’s Second Coming.
While people may see what they perceive a ‘ghosts’ they are in reality evil spirits taking an earthly form to deceive humans.

That’s what I’ve thought for a long time.
Thanks for all that.
The only ‘ghost’ that appears in the Bible is found in 1 Samuel:
From BRAVE AI:
Witch of Endor, biblical character (First Book of Samuel)
The account of Samuel’s ghost appearing to King Saul is a subject of debate among scholars and religious figures. According to the Bible, Saul, seeking guidance, consulted a medium at Endor who claimed to summon Samuel’s spirit. However, the nature of what appeared—whether it was Samuel’s actual spirit, a demon impersonating him, or a hallucination—remains unclear and is a topic of much discussion.
Some interpretations suggest that the spirit that appeared was indeed Samuel, as the text identifies it as Samuel and the context implies that the original audience would have understood it as such.
Others argue that the Bible condemns the practice of necromancy and that Samuel’s spirit would not have been summoned by a medium, suggesting instead that it might have been a demonic manifestation or a hallucination.
The passage in 1 Samuel 28 describes Saul’s encounter with what the medium perceived as Samuel’s spirit, delivering a prophecy of doom against Saul and his army.
This event is significant in the narrative as it marks a turning point in Saul’s reign and the eventual defeat of his army by the Philistines.
In summary, while the Bible records an encounter between Saul and what was identified as Samuel’s spirit, the exact nature of this encounter and whether it involved Samuel’s actual spirit remains a matter of interpretation and debate.
I went out with a ghost of a girl once.
I told her she needed to eat.
Didn’t get a second date.
Beeded a dash cam
THIS.
That’s interesting. Thanks.
Or sometimes I think we leave an imprint. Like when you sit on a cushion, when you get up there is a butt print. You are gone but the butt print remains.
Maybe the "ghost" is just a butt print.
That is body not spirit my friend... The vessel and the soul. The soul lives on whether here or elsewhere.
That is in there too. :)
You never had a ghost of a chance anyway.
The soul is only a representation of the person that was.
God will destroy the sinful representations at The Second Death..............
LOL True!!
She talked to me for about a month but then she ghosted me.

Heck yes. I don’t drive after it starts getting dark. They come out as thick as fleas after dark. I don’t want them to dent up my Tesla.
