The Bible is filled with ghost stories. Jesus’ disciples thought they saw a ghost when Jesus appeared to them. Apparently the believed in ghosts.
I don’t understand how a Christian doesn’t believe in ghosts.
because there aren’t any, there are only angels and demons.
I have a serious question, after reading and thinking about this thread. I do not have deep religious knowledge. Here's the question:
The Trinity is The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit
Is that Holy Spirit much like the spirit people have, an independent entity separate from the body? When Jesus didn't immediately ascend into heaven, was it the time it took for his spirit to "cross over"? Is our spirit, or the "ghost" which sometimes stays behind the same kind of situation? Since Jesus was man, isn't that spirit something we have?
Perhaps we all have spirits which upon death decide for themselves when to cross over. Maybe that's what those who believe in spirits call ghosts?
These are thoughts I'm having, trying to figure out if it connects. Any comments or input?
