    Understanding the holy scriptures is impossible unless God gives you the interpretation

    I think the irony of what I said is that Christians claim to have "spiritual discernment from the Holy Spirit" in order for them to properly understand the Bible, yet some Christian doctrines and interpretations of the Bible vastly differ from one another. I've seen this claim of spiritual...

    Is it possible that Christianity is true, yet the Bible contains errors?

    If God is never wrong about anything, then why does the Bible state that he regretted creating human beings as well as every animal, every creature that creeps on the ground, and the birds of the air (Genesis 6:6-7)? There are other scriptures in the Bible that highlight his other regrets in...

    Afterlife

    I thought that you would find these article interesting. FYI, the first one has a link to the Near-Death Experience Research Foundation. Near-Death Experiences Research Has Doctor Convinced of Afterlife Hospice nurse shares the one thing 'almost everyone' sees before they die Reiterating...

    Understanding the holy scriptures is impossible unless God gives you the interpretation

    To be honest, other Christians could say the same about you and your preferred version of Christianity. However, I suspect that you won't accept that it is possible for you to be wrong, as these Christians you disagree with wouldn't believe that they are wrong either. Ironically, you and other...

    Where are the Dead?

    I've discussed my beliefs and experiences in this thread for several months (post #22 was my first reply). So I think it would be okay if we continued our discussion in this thread. I believe this was confirmed earlier in the thread, when objections were made concerning others who questioned...

    Where are the Dead?

    I thought of this particular detail while I was writing my other post, but I failed to mention it. That is actually a fairly common occurrence at historical locations, particularly those related to the Civil War. The following is what I posted on full-body apparitions in another thread, which...

    Where are the Dead?

    My husband described the man to her, and she recognized him from the description. He was a doctor, and she knew him.

    Where are the Dead?

    First, my friend, who accompanied my husband and me, took us to the man's grave, which had a photo of him on the gravestone. My husband confirmed that this was the same man. Second, she showed us another photo taken two days before the man's death, as well as a newspaper clipping of his obituary...

    Afterlife

    I don't want to derail the thread, so I'll repost the link I provided in my other post about my husband's personal experiences with the paranormal. https://www.religiousforums.com/threads/where-are-the-dead.270234/page-27#post-8192925

    Afterlife

    I think it is clear that we're all simply sharing what we believe to be true based on our personal beliefs and opinions, or even our personal experiences.

    Afterlife

    I would like to mention that in my years of experience, I've seen earthbound spirits (more human than non-human) everywhere I go, and some places more than others. It is especially true in historic cities like Boston and historic sites linked to the Civil War, as I described in this previous...

    Afterlife

    I don't get it either, but to each their own.

    Afterlife

    Well said, in my opinion. I think that learning what others believe about the afterlife is interesting. I'd like to say that this thread and the other thread (this one) in which I'm participating in the paranormal activities forum have been illuminating. It helps me understand what others...

    Heaven = Life as a Ghost

    I don't believe in heaven as described in the Bible. But I believe that there are astral planes (a spirit realm) that exist outside of space and time. Therefore, I don't believe that spirits will remain where the earth formerly stood. So to answer your question, yes, I believe that ghosts exist...

    Afterlife

    I plan to have my deceased body cremated and my ashes scattered by my family at a scenic location of our choice. I know that my physical body will die, which brings the First Law of Thermodynamics into play, but I believe that my consciousness—that is, my energy (my spirit or soul)—will continue...

    Taylor Swift?

    Yes, I do know. I will be forever grateful to them for their music because they were always there for me, no matter what kind of hell was breaking loose in my home or at school for me. I could listen to their music and experience moments of peace and happiness as I was growing up in a daily...

    Taylor Swift?

    The Beatles have had a deeply profound impact on my life, and I believe that listening to their music helped save my life as I was growing up. In fact, a day has not gone by in the past 38 years that I haven't listened to their music to either cheer me up or just because I enjoy listening to...

    Difference in moral thought between atheists and believers

    I think the claim that the Bible is God's word is nothing more than a personal religious belief that is often stated as if it were an absolute fact. Speaking as a former Christian, I've learned that I don't need to believe in the biblical God (or any gods) in order to make moral decisions and...

    Heaven = Life as a Ghost

    In my experience, the afterlife is not ideal for everyone. I've learned that it can be lonely and traumatic for some spirits. Regarding reincarnation, I believe it is possible for two reasons: first, if human spirits can choose to remain earthbound, as I believe they can, then it makes sense to...
