It was really neat. None of the floors were flat on the second and third floors. It felt like you had to walk up a hill just to walk in the room. You had to be careful walking in the hallways because you'd hit a dip and sprain an ankle. Then my husband spent nine months with a gash on his head because he kept banging his head walking through the doorways. He's 6-2 and kept having to duck. Then there were spiders, don't even get me started on those! They actually had kneecaps! Yuck.
Anyway, it was the creepiest house I'd ever lived in. There was a whole portion I wouldn't even go into if I could avoid it.
So sKerry paid a visit??
you hit the nail on the head!
Thanks tons for your kind words.
May God's richest love, provision, safety, intimacy be with you and yours.
bttt... thanks curly bill.. will catch you later. good read. Hudson (not Ohio?)
When I was young, and my family was watching "Laugh In" on the tv, I was off doing my things (not big on sitting for long periods of time), I thought of my dad's dad, out of the blue, and began crying. My mom and dad were concerned, turned the show down to talk with me.. sure enough phone rang, and my dad's dad had just passed away. Alongside Lawrence Welk, Laugh-in was one of my Papa's favorite shows. My Papa had been ailing, and it is possible the scene on laugh-in going on that very minute was one I knew would make Papa laugh, too. Afterwards, I was comforted knowing my Papa had died from laughing! :)
Hope you didn't order the smoked ham.
A 700 yr old house in the US?....maybe Mesa Verde.
Are their any Anasazi ghosts reportedly out there or were they all consumed in the Dulce Wars?
I agree. In your example, it would lead the people involved to have faith, more faith, and total belief in God and Jesus which would negate Satan's intentions. It would be a losing gambit for Satan.
please add me to your ghost ping list. thanks in advance. :)
Hopi Villages easily.
Possibly even Santa Fe
Here's a question for you.
We know God is a God of the Living. We know of the person of the Holy Ghost also referred to as the Holy Spirit.
We know Scripturally that salvatio and regeneration are considered foolishness to the unbeliever because they are spiritually discerned and until salvation, we are dead or separated from God in the spirit.
Now there are plenty of unbelievers out in the world who believe in spirits. They probably are demonic or separated from the Living God, but I've always associated those ghost stories as a method of unbelievers to account for the spiritual domain as they might encounter upon it.
My question then becomes, what is the range of the spiritual domain when placed into context of body, soul and spirit,..from a Scriptural point of view? Then how does that place the pagan point of view into perspective?

QX:
Not sure I understand your questions well.
1) What is the range of the spiritual domain? All that is.
In the context of the body? I don't think Scripture speaks to that. Some who claim to see auras--and I've learned that perhaps authentic Believers can by Holy Spirit see such things--that it MAY not be only a new agey sort of capacity though I certainly see any new agey thing as counterfeit . . . anyway--some who claim to see auras would probably say that the spiritual domain around the body only extends inches to maybe a foot or 2 depending on whatever variable.
I can't really respond well to the issue of in the context of soul and spirit either because the Bible is not at all clear about such things. If we consider the soul, soulishness the mind--perhaps it's rather limited while we are in our body.
But I certainly think that our spirit has at least some capacity to tap into God via the spiritual real with or without our conscious awareness. God seems to pretty much require our conscious assent, permission, authority, though. There is certainly plenty of evidence of things being passed down to the 3rd and 4th generation without the permission or authority of the person in the 3rd or 4th generation. And such can need deliverance; firm resisting the enemy until he lastingly flees etc.
And, that the spiritual realm is evidently limitless--not only in the 3-4 dimensions that we know but in any dimensions that are.
In my understanding, demonic forces can speak into our minds as certainly can Holy Spirit
THOUGH various Calvinists and Hyper-Calvinists deny it and seem blind to it. I guess they think God would leave satan and his demonic forces such access without allowing Holy Spirit to have similar access--a truly amazing silliness to me.
I believe that demonic forces can inhabit bodies/minds/spirits at least in the sense of residing within and exercising an unusual degree of control over the person and the person's choices. The Blood of Jesus and prayer and fasting on the part of several earnest believers may be necessary to deal with such.
I also believe that demonic forces can hover around; follow around and essentially be pretty persistently harrassing toward given goals. Such experiences can seem fairly closely similar to resident possession because of the degree of influence. But, it's usually more of a continuum from a little to a lot than is possession.
I don't think I have a whole lot to share more than the above. If you can think of a different way to word your questions or have more questions, I'd be happy to try and respond better.
Blessings,
bump
