Well it spoke to me today. I was standing in the hall way and my mom was doing laundry and a voice litarly a voice said to go help her. Thats what I did, I offered to help her! Funny thing is, that very day I had asked God to guide me to His kingdom.

Well, Mark, there's no uniform perspective on the afterlife among Christians.  I'll give you my perspective, which is that of an evangelical, non-denominational Christian.  I believe that 2 Corinthians 5:8 tells us the souls of believers will go to Heaven immediately after death and we will retain consciousness at all times.  An unrighteous person who has not accepted Jesus Christ goes immediately to a place Jesus called "torments" after death (Luke 16:23).  The unrighteous dead also retain full consciousness.  At the Rapture of the Church, the bodies of the righteous will be resurrected and reunited with their souls, which are in Heaven (1 Thes. 4:13-16).  Upon being resurrected, these bodies will be made immortal.  These immortal beings will co-rule with Jesus as kings and judges (although some will serve as priests or teachers), over those who survive the 7-year Tribulation and their future children (Rev. 6-19).  Jesus will hold an absolute monarchy, however.  There will be no kings higher than He.\n\nThe souls of the unrighteous remain in "torments" for 1,000 years after Jesus Christ's return to earth; at that time, their bodies are also resurrected, reunited with their souls and they are judged by Jesus according to the works they have done.  This is known as the "Great White Throne Judgement."  Since no one can be justified without faith, all are thrown into the "Lake of Fire," which I believe destroys the person forever; other Christians believe the punishment goes on forever, but I disagree with this.  (See Rev. 20:11-15).\n\nI am very involved with God; I view my relationship with God to be intensely personal and I feel as if He's more than a Master to me -- I feel He's my friend, too; I read the Bible daily, pray many times in a day (spontaneously, not at a set time), and evangelize to non-believers when I get the chance.  I attend Church at least once per week; twice if I'm in need.  I occasionally serve on the telephone prayer line for my Church, which has two nationally televised tv shows per week.  I have a secular job, although I have been praying for a new job with a Christian mission or other type of employer.\n\nI hope this helps.  Let me know if you need more information, I wasn't sure how detailed you wanted me to get.

I'm Christian and I believe that being able to communicate with ghosts is a gift not a curse.\nIn fact Christians should know this because in the bible it says that one of the gifts from the holy spirit is a 6th sense. I'm not sure where it says this but I do know that it does say it because I read it. I would love to be able to speak to spirits and I think that anyone who can is truly blessed. Besides, I think that it's the Catholic Christians who say that it's a curse, but I'm not certain. Now that you have me thinking you should also ask; If you can speak to the dead than does this mean your possessed? I mean come on. These Christians must have a lot of sins that they need to cover up if they feel the need to tell someone that they're being influenced by the devil. After all isn't it true that your more likely to tell someone what their doing wrong when in fact it's you who's doing something wrong?

There's no scripture to support this idea one way or another.  People are affected in different ways when in the spirit.  There was a man at my church who would run around the pews (admittedly it freaked me out a bit when he first did it) and a woman who would wail.  I think you'll find the most about the issue in Paul's stuff, but don't quote me on that.

Yes the Holy Spirit is in us and it does say that we need no one to teach us. Is not saying that we should not listen to know one like a pastor or a teacher of the word. Its just saying that we will not be deceived by anyone because we have the Holy Spirit in us, and hes our teacher. And yes the ten commandments were for the desiples and for us.

I must tell you that it saddens me to hear that your experiences with Christianity have left you disenchanted with the whole thing. As a "christian" I would like to take this opportunity to apologize to you for any thing that anyone who calls themselves a christian has done to hurt or anger you.\n  I would like to say that i agree with one of the other posts in the fact that not everyone who calls themselves christian truly knows Jesus Christ.  You see "Christianity" has become just another religion where we humans try to reach God on our own terms.  That's where all the "bible thumping" comes from.  Jesus is Gods attempt to reach us humans through His love, unfortunately most Christians never fully experience His love and therefore can never love themselves.  They think that by being super zealous for the laws that God has set for us, and "taking a stand" for what they believe that they will some how please god more.  The bible teaches that we can do nothing to please God, outside of having a relationship with His son Jesus Christ.\n\nI would be honored to share with you how you can truly experience Gods love if you want.\n\n\np.s.  I didn't get the stamp of approval from my church or minister but that's OK cause I AM one of the ministers!:)\n\ncrazy that one of us guys would read something that challenged Christianity huh?  Hope i am up to the challenge

You tell um Tammy.\n\nThese people are about as far from the teachings of Jesus as they can get.  Its amazing that they actually think of themselves as Christians.\n\nLove and blessings \n\nDon

At this point.  thanks for confirming the word I got from Holy Spirit a few moments ago....be back later, possibly much later.  I do cherish some relationships I have formed with believers and 2 people I saw saved.  But it is becoming harmful.\n\nBlessings,\nDavid

Want an honest answer?  I don't know.  Nobody knows.\n\nThere are numerous examples throughout the Bible of God separating his spirit from people.  King Saul comes to mind.

As followers of Christ, we are commanded to carry the Gospel to the entire world. We are just doing as commanded.\nWe can't help it if some are offended.\nWe are only 'pushing' it on those who choose to read the religion/spirituality forum.\n\nIts like, if I leave my Bible on the table and another picks it up and reads it, am I pushing my beliefs on him? \nThere are lots of other books to read on my table, so why pick up the Bible and then complain?\nI have to think that those who read this forum are looking for answers.

Yes, there is a religious spirit, it is a false spirit pretending to know God. \nThis type of spirit will come on someone who is not living the life as they should and live in sin.\n And like Samson, shook himself as before and God was not with him\nThat type of spirit is usually on lay people\n\nI don't believe any of the men of God, above are false prophets\n\nFalse prophets and teacher are those perverting the gospel of Jesus Christ and his teachings. \nThey are those who do oppose the Christian faith,\n and make their own religion, or worship other God's.\n God said have no other God's before me.\nIf you believe not  Jesus Christ and his kingdom, and go and teach others you are not one of us;\nChrist has come in the flesh, born of a virgin, died and rose again, and ascended into heaven.\nIf you don't believe and teach the Kingdom of Heaven, you are a false prophet or false teacher.\nThese men teach, being born again, repentance from dead work, faith in God and the power of his Resurrection\nThey teach the Gospel of the Kingdom

perhaps not in the way the modern Christians think. however, there were several Prophets of THE PEOPLE who talked to various tribes of THE PEOPLE talking about the same basic concepts JESUS did. such as the PEACE-BRINGER who talked to the Five Civilized Tribes and Hiawatha ( who actually existed ).

Hello I see you're in rather the same predicament as myself. I personally belive that I am psychic, I'm also a strong beliver in my faith of God. I to have read the entire book cover to cover, prophecy is not the only psychic ability mentioned in the bible. discerning of spirits and almost all the other spiritual gifts mentioned could be considered psychic. christians  today just don't read the bible, all can be answered through it. as for the above comments one sounds like an idiot the other might be a good person. psychic is so much more than "spirits and stuff" God wouldn't give some one that gift for no reason. Plus being christian in its self your dealing with spirits all the time.

Yes Isreal is Blessed and the prophets anointed by the Lord are Holy and Beautiful.\n\nBut it takes practicing Christianity to "convert" not talking about it or trying to convince those who dont want to hear and have hate for Christians in their heart.\n\nI know the power of the prophets!  These things written thousands of years before they occured!  But that is for the believer!\n\nMy brother, we must realize non believers think with the head.\nTo understand Christianity, you must get out of your head, and into your spirit.\n\nIf you want to win people to Jesus, do something that makes sense to their head, that they can see with their EYES.  Like love, help the poor, comfort the sick, etc.\n\nGod bless you, brother, I am not underestimating the word, but non Christians want to see ACTION I have found.\n\nJust my 2 cents!\n\nThanks!

I am a Christian, and I do not believe the things you have written in your question.  I do not put myself above others because I am still figuring everything out for myself.  You stating that all Christians do this proves that you are uninformed.  The other points you made seem to point to the fact that you may be just as narrow minded as those you accuse.  Are you only wanting someone to agree with you?
