I live in Jerry Falwell country, so I was surprised to find that many other religious people believe in ghosts, but it seems all of them have had some sort of experience that forced them to believe. Maybe that's what it takes.

I have to ask you. What does the Bible say about consorting with familiar spirits and divination?
Christians are superior because we possess an understanding that unbelievers lack. It is through the Power of Jesus only the converted mind is able to understand what is going on in the world; what the Communists are really up to; what Satan's intentions are. Most unbelievers do not even believe in Satan and cannot understand his tactics.

There is no such thing as a ghost. You are consorting with demons and familiar spirits, which is expressly forbidden in the Bible.
Apparently, your "very religious family" didn't care to read God's Word. The Bible makes it clear that the dead are dead and unknowing until Resurrection at Judgment. Grandma isn't floating around the guest room keeping an eye on her prized thimble collection. Uncle Bob isn't watching over you and protecting you from terrorists. THERE ARE NO GHOSTS.
Bible boring? Nonsense!

I just explained why there are no such things as ghosts, did I not?
What you believe to be "ghosts", the remains of dead people, are demons impersonating the dead people.

This is my first post ever here.
I literally just joined and found this.
You, Reverend whatever your face, are the kind of Christian that put us all to shame. I believe in God; I believe in Heaven and Hell. But I do believe in ghosts. Not every single thing ghost hunters talk to are demons!
You're trying to say that anything that doesn't follow your rules EXACTLY is bad. If I'm wrong, please, correct me.
I watch the majority of those shows. I believe in the paranormal, for I have seen and heard many a ghost (notice how I said ghost; not demon). My mom tried to raise me in a very religious household, but she didn't. I'm religious, but not so religious that I've been brainwashed.
The three from Ghost Adventures are not gay. You are being judgmental and, quite frankly, being a bigot. I recall God saying that he will accept you for who you are; take you as you come, yet here you go about all over the site saying gays are bad and goths are bad.
Creepy clown man, what's wrong with goth girls? I wear odd jewelry and wear dark clothing; am I bad and rebellious child? Because, if I am, you really need to tell me.
I honestly don't get how Christians can say "we won't judge you" then we go and do so.
And how do you know all witches are bad? Wiccans are bad; they serve the Earth. Is the Earth bad? Hm?
I, personally, know quite a few Wiccans.
My church (Church on the Hill; Church of the Nazarene [where we accept people for who they are]) doesn't believe in those sort of bigotry and judging.
Please, research properly before posting this.
If I, a 17-year-old, know better than you all, old creepy men, then you all fail.
PS:
Feel free to respond to this!

Son, start actually reading your Bible instead of using it for rolling papers.
Deuteronomy 18:10-14 There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch.
Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer.
For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee.

Of course, child. You know better than God does..

If ghost are real then the idea of heaven as well as hell loses it's meaning and purpose. So of course christians are going to say ghost don't exist. I however know they do, I have had to many encounters not to believe in them. And my encounters involve more than one person present at the time of occurance.
As far as witchcraft. Some say it didn't start until the 50's. Well then why is it refered to centuries before, a rediscovery in the 50's is more like it. Unfortuneatly in general description of witchcraft can also mean prayer, especially since the foundation of pray is receiving something through ritual, chant, or though multiple people. Prophesy, predicting the future, also considered as witchcraft but somehow become valid in Christianity.
Putting a new name on pagan ritual or act and calling it a christian ritual doesn't make it any more just or true. Just makes you a hypocrite.
Lies are just as good as truth is everyone believes them.

I hate to be the one to break to you, but the Bible itself....is paranormal. Beyond that which is considered "normal".
Also, if you want to come across as having any intellect when discussing something, learn the correct terminology, procedure and refrain from slinging insults. Maybe if you read something OTHER than your Bible every now and then, you would have some knowledge to back up the ridiculous concepts you are throwing out there. (EVP detector...indeed.)
Paranormal Investigators do not go about contacting "demons" and they, in no way, use witchcraft. They use.....SCIENCE. I know that's a big, scary word for you Bible thumpers....but try to embrace it. It's reality. (But you can still dream about your fairy tales as well.)
And I fail to see how accusing 3 grown men of being gay in any way relates to your topic of Ghost Hunting? Is it that you can't get through one topic without more mud-slinging and hate-mongering? That's all religion has become now-a-days, largely due to people like yourself. You don't "love thy brother"....not if he is in any way different that the short-sighted person you've become.
Religion should not be a badge you wear to state "I am better then everyone else and it doesn't matter how I speak about them because I've been 'saved'...."

Oh yes, Jesus is part of the occult. Like some old guy with a funny beard waved his hands and things happened like in Harry Potter. Our faith is based on Christian SCIENCE founded on Biblical FACT. There is nothing hocus pocus here.
Show me one ghost in The Bible and I might believe you.
Maybe.
Time to reclaim our FREEDOM from the “Mullah in Chief” and his growing activist voter hoards of socialists, communists, anti-Semites, anti-Christians, atheists, radical gays and lesbians, feminists, illegal immigrants, Muslims, anti-Anglo whites and others.

It makes me so sick to my stomach to see people claiming to be christian, who use that as an excuse to be nasty, rude, hateful people. So many of your comments are disgusting. You attack good people, because you can only make yourself feel good by putting down others. This doesn't sound like "good christian values" to me, it just sounds like pure HATE.

First of all, this is NOT a debate forum. We're right and you're wrong, according to Jesus. Please read THIS thread before making an even bigger fool of yourself.
Secondly, while the internets might seem to be "free" to you, this particular corner of the internets is a privately owned Christian forum. The rights you have on this forum are listed HERE. Please contact a Pastor immediately if you feel that any of your rights have been violated.
Finally, your unsaved opinions or tantrums are not even slightly of interest to us. We follow the Holy Word of God TO THE LETTER, and make no apologies for that. One of the most important commandments in the Bible tells us to avoid unsaved scum such as yourself. You wandered in here uninvited, and unwelcome .
If you want to debate people, THIS is the place to go.
Please make a thread of your own in the " Introductions" section of the forum, so that we can properly greet you. Tell us about yourself, your church, and how you came to find Jesus.
And if you're here to flame us, better take a look at THIS before making an even bigger ass out of yourself.
I will pray that the Holy Spirit enter you and chase the demons out of your rectum and let Jesus fill you with His Grace. If you use your God-given free will to reject Christ and His temporary death on the cross for my sins, then you are sending yourself to hellfire.
Here is a partial list from just a few scripture verses:
Hypocrites (Matthew 24:51), The Unforgiving (Mark 11:26), Homosexuals (Romans 1:26, 27), Fornicators (Romans 1:29), The Wicked (Romans 1:29), The Covetous (Romans 1:29), The Malicious (Romans 1:29), The Envious (Romans 1:29), Murderers (Romans 1:29), The Deceitful (Romans 1:29), Backbiters (Romans 1:30), Haters of God (Romans 1:30), The Despiteful (Romans 1:30), The Proud (Romans 1:30), Boasters (Romans 1:30), Inventors of evil (Romans 1:30), Disobedient to parents (Romans 1:30), Covenant breakers (Romans 1:31), The Unmerciful (Romans 1:31), The Implacable (Romans 1:31), The Unrighteous (1Corinthians 6:9), Idolaters (1Corinthians 6:9), Adulterers (1Corinthians 6:9), The Effeminate (1Corinthians 6:9), Thieves (1Corinthians 6:10), Drunkards (1Corinthians 6:10), Reviler (1Corinthians 6:10), Extortioners (1Corinthians 6:10), The Fearful (Revelation 21:8), The Unbelieving (Revelation 21:8), The Abominable (Revelation 21:8), Whoremongers (Revelation 21:8), Sorcerers (Revelation 21:8), All Liars (Revelation 21:8)

Jim Osborne you are so full of shit. The Bible teaches us about an afterlife and thse groups are trying to prove it. Instead of calling people gay (which they are not) why don't you try to understand other peoples beliefs. Its assholes like you (yes I am name calling) that make little kids scared of their own religion. Teach with love, kindness and understanding and most important, RESPECT!!!!

Wow... You call yourself a pastor? You are an ignorant, close-minded brainwasher. I have studied many religions and many interpretations of the Bible and you use many of these verses out of context.
Another thing, you may have stated a bunch of verses but where is your proof that these people are homosexual or witches and wizards? I am also an English major and I have learned that an argument without evidence is a load of crap, and that is what this is; a load of crap. You're argument is questionable at best and with no evidence no one with a brain will even take a second glance at it.
How dare you accuse and judge people you don't know. I'm sure you know what the Bible says about judging others: Romans 14:10, Romans 14:4, Romans 2:1, etc... I especially like that last one. "Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things." Does that sound familiar?
You are in serious need of an education in both Literature and Theology.

Oh please! Every forum is a debate forum. That's kind of the purpose of a forum.
"Secondly, while the internets might seem to be "free" to you, this particular corner of the internets is a privately owned Christian forum. The rights you have on this forum are listed HERE. Please contact a Pastor immediately if you feel that any of your rights have been violated."
Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, whether you agree with them or not.
"Finally, your unsaved opinions or tantrums are not even slightly of interest to us. We follow the Holy Word of God TO THE LETTER, and make no apologies for that. One of the most important commandments in the Bible tells us to avoid unsaved scum such as yourself. You wandered in here uninvited, and unwelcome . "
Are you sure you are interpreting it correctly? what if you're wrong? When the Catholics began the Inquisition they also said they were following the Word of God to the letter and look how that ended up. Also God welcomes everyone and to say that someone is unwelcome just goes to show that you're not following God's word completely.
?And if you're here to flame us, better take a look at THIS before making an even bigger ass out of yourself. "
Oh dear, that was un-Christian of you.
No person in their right mind can claim to know the will of God.

First and foremost I want to say that I am Christian woman and I have followed the Lord Jesus Christ for many many years and all I have to say about this is YOU ARE IDIOTS IF YOU BELIEVE THIS CRAP!!
The EMF detector is a device that detects Electromagnetic fields in an area that can cause people to feel weird and cause them to think that something paranormal is in the area. They ARE NOT TO DETECT THE ORESENCE OF DEMONS!!!!
That is ridiculous and the TAPS team DOES NOT go into these places trying to communicate with the dead. Their sole goal is to go into these places to find legitimate reasons why the people are hearing and seeing things. I have watched this show since it began and they have NEVER AND I DO MEAN NEVER EVEN BROUGHT IN A QUIJA BOARD. They do not like psychics and frequently tell the people who have consulted these types of people that they are fake and not to take what they say seriously. In most cases the Taps team go into a place and they find a lot of legitimate reasons for all the strange noises...such as houses settling which happen all the time in old houses/buildings, reflections in mirrors caused by a passing car, wind drafts from a heavy door that delays it closing and more...
I don't mean any disrespect to anyone but you are crazy!! I have been a Baptist for most of my life and it is people like you who cause others to run from the church screaming because they look at you like a witch hunter and someone who is going to do nothing but condem.
If you were a true believer you would follow Jesus' most important rule and commandment which is to love one another. He also siad not to judge lest you be judged.
This website is a joke and all it does is cause more fear and untruth about the Christian lifestyle.
I do not care to comment again and I better not receive anything from any of your administrators on this issue. The one and only reason I signed up was so I could defend these people (even though they dont need me to defend them)...
I love the Ghost Hunters show and I will not stop watching it...
That is all I have to say...
