Is HUNTING GHOSTS equal to SPEAKING TO THE DEAD?

IS HUNTING FOR GHOSTS EQUAL TO THE BIBLICAL ADMONITION TO NEVER TALK TO THE DEAD?

I BELIEVE IT IS.....BUT LET ME QUALIFY IT SOMEWHAT WITH GODLY ADVICE CONCERNING 'GHOST HUNTING', MOST OF WHAT WE WATCH ON T.V. CONCERNING THIS IDEA IS FILLED WITH UN-BIBLICAL AND UN-SOUND PRACTICES ABOUT GHOSTS, SPIRITS AND THE AFTERLIFE!

THE FOLLOWING SECTION OF AN ARTICLE WILL SUFFICE TO SHOW THE SILLINESS OF HUMAN PRIDE.

You May be a Ghost Hunters Copycat if.... | The Occult Section

"You may be a Ghost Hunters copycat if:

1.) You buy all your equipment based on what Ghost Hunters has – when they get some new experimental equipment, you pick it up also. (How many of us actually had K-2 meters before they came out on Ghost Hunters?)

2.) Your group’s logo is in yellow stencil font.

3.) Your vehicle has a large magnet with your group’s name on it that you use when you go to investigations.

4.) You have ever uttered the phrase “on to the next.”

5.) You have paid an excessive amount of money to meet/investigate with anyone on the cast, past or present.

6.) You list your occupation on Facebook as being in a paranormal group.

7.) You happily pay to investigate a location that Ghost Hunters has filmed an episode at (I can’t even say they “investigated”).

 For those who don’t know – these locations will charge anywhere from $300-$1000 (and sometimes even more) for overnight investigations.

8.) You react to every little sound with “What was that?” in a frenzied whisper, followed by “Oh my God…”

9.) You actively try to get your own TV show despite claiming to not be in it for the fame.

10.) You defend all Ghost Hunters practices and “evidence” and put down other similar shows in the same breath.

11.) You are convinced your group is the best paranormal group in the world and that you have all the answers."

Now while I laugh at the funniness of this, I in no way think that Ghost Hunting is a joke. I know for a fact it has at least some legitimacy to it BUT let me be very clear about one thing......looking into anything supernatural without proper knowledge of what you find is both dangerous and stupid.

THAT GOES FOR GOD'S REALM OR THE DEVILS!

BOTH SIDES OF THE ISSUE HAVE IT WRONG ABOUT GHOSTS, SPIRITS AND THE PARANORMAL.

 Take it from an ex-witch, the after-life is bigger than any Ghost story or Medium could ever tell. The Biblical statements about life in the hereafter DO NOT MATCH for even a second the statements from Ghost Hunters or Mediums. The afterlife does NOT consist of sitting on a cloud with a harp any more than haunting a house or a location forever.

Mediums are few in number that are real, but there are a few. Even they lie about the afterlife some willingly, some without knowledge but ALL tell lies. The bible is the sole proprietor of fact and truth concerning the afterlife. The desire of man to know about things of the beyond is not the problem but the ways and means of gaining that knowledge present the issue of false ideas masquerading as truth.

I watch all the shows every week, I stay well versed in their practices week to week from 'Ghost Hunters' to 'The Dead Files' to 'Ghost Adventures' and although they are entertaining and interesting at times they are NO REPLACEMENT FOR FACTS and the Bible is the ONLY place to find those facts.

NOT ALL MEDIUMS AND WITCHES ARE FAKES, I WAS ONE AND PLAYED BOTH SIDES OF THAT COIN.....SO PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT I DO NOT DISCOUNT ALL THEIR FINDINGS JUST MOST OF THEIR METHODS. 

 

The idea of talking to the dead is what is disputed here not the fact of spiritual beings existing because they do, the problem is if we when we die are already present with God for our reward one way or the other as Scripture tells us then WHO are they really speaking too?

While much of what you see is real spiritual manifestation and interactions with us the idea that these beings are somehow human spirits trapped in a physical place is absurd at best and simple stupidity at the worst! The Bible teaches no such doctrines ANYWHERE and it is easy to refute if we read what God reveals about the afterlife.

The following videos illustrate one of my theories concerning Ghosts that doesn't explain all but at least some haunted places. I believe that in some cases time itself overlaps and we can hear or see another time in an out-of-focus manner, and as in this EVP conversation the person in one time can hear us but we cannot hear them without the proper listening device, in this case a Digital Record.

A lot of pranking can go on in TV shows, I'm not saying this is real but in order to know both sides of an issue it's important to view it!

 

The Stanley Hotel

 

 

 

 

Sure I believe in MOST CASES so-called hauntings are just imaginary, but it does not mean that some of them are no real. The real issue here that I'm trying to convey is that "Human Beings" are not the causes of ANY HAUNTING. They are 100% demonic, they are either DIRECTLY or INDIRECTLY being manipulated through their influence.

 

It is also interesting to note that BOTH ghosts and UFO's have a common "modus operandi " along with Demonic activities. The comparisons cannot be denied:

http://magnoliazz.hubpages.com/hub/Are-UFOs-of-the-Demonic

 

http://www.mt.net/~watcher/judgment.html

 

These are not Ghosts anyway in my opinion but 'time echos' or Residual Haunting as TAPS would call them, but unlike a 'Tape Recorded' playback it shows that time can become overlapped at certain places and for certain reasons. Most of what Ghost Hunters everywhere say is the reason for a Haunting may be true but for a totally different reason than previously understood. 

NOT BECAUSE SOMEONE DIED AND IS STUCK HERE BUT BECAUSE THEIR TIME IS OVERLAPPED WITH OUR TIME......its a theory so lets have fun with it.

 SAY SOMEONE FROM 1906 OVERLAPS WITH US IN 2006 FOR SOME REASON and we speak to them (thinking their Ghosts) and they hear us but we can't hear them because their voices are warped through time or distorted somehow but they can be heard by a device that picks up lower sound like a dog can hear. This is not Time travel but time folding in on itself for a moment.

Its an interesting theory if nothing else, but there may be many other such explanations for Ghost-like evidence besides that which is often explained as truth, when it is in fact a lie from hell! The Bible is very clear that human spirits with or without God DO NOT STICK AROUND AFTER DEATH but are rather taken to their ETERNAL REWARDS accordingly!

The half-truths and outright lies told to us on TV and in the Movies about eternal concepts have deceived an entire generation of viewers. Satan has used entertainment to lull us into a stupor concerning death and the afterlife with the soul purpose of stealing the word of God from the hearers and blinding us from its truth.

Joh_5:24

 

"Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life."

 

The afterlife for the Christian is WITH GOD not trapped on a physical plain with a spirit mist for a body. The entire ghost thing is delusion created to take away our hope of being better than we are in this limited life on earth!

 

2Co_5:8

"We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord. "

You will notice that the transition from death to new life is almost non-existent, it is immediate after leaving the physical body that you are present with Jesus. No haunting, no wandering, no unknown.......funny most ghost hunters don't just read the B.I.B.L.E. Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth?

 

So much misunderstanding and confusion could be avoided if we would just trust the Word of God instead of men and women who have no real knowledge of that part of life that is most inevitable......DEATH!

 



Ghost Hunting is not INVALID it's just completely miss used. I believe that in order to help those affected by evil we must pull our heads out of gaining rewards for it and start just helping with no rewards in mind! Let's be real here for a moment, would any of those TV personalities hunting ghosts do it if the cameras were not recording their deeds, would the idea of helping be as appealing without the big cash pay offs they obviously get in order to afford to investigate the sites that charge them a fee to do so?

 

This more than anything else would reveal their true motives wouldn't it? I'm not saying they don't have good motives, at least not all of them but we must begin to have true discernment about who and what we trust as a Nation. God requires payment for our sins both as individuals and as a Nation. The Occult and the sins it brings with it can destroy us as a people.

 

The bible proof's I've herein presented are evidence we have not been wise in choosing out directions but we can amend it with knowledge of what we witness in our lives.

 

BLACK MAGIC EXPLANED!

*As you read this I have inserted my own comments within [ ]

BLACK MAGIC EXPLANED!

Black magic or dark magic as it is sometimes called is a form of magic that is intended to draw malevolent spirits or entities and is usually performed for acts of evil. During the inquisition, Christians were frightened of witches and warlocks who practised these black magic rituals but now in modern times witches will use the term black magic to offset the good magic they profess to practise, as black magic is said to be very rarely used.

In olden days, black magic was performed to gain benefit without regard to the harm that it caused others and indeed most performed black magic solely to hurt and inflict damage on others. The difference between black magic and white magic is still debated amongst modern witches with several theories contrasting the two branches. Theories such as the “all as one”, “no connection” and “separate but equal” theories all being popular and open for debate.

The most popular theories include
The all as one theory
Believers of this theory believe that all magic, black or white is evil with black magic generally being associated with the devil or Satan. Religions such as Christianity, Islam, Judaism and Buddhism all follow the belief that any type of magic is bad.

[I would fall into this catagory fot the simple reason that I experienced much of these things listed, not all but enough to know for a fact that any form of darkness leads to deeper forms of darkness and that cannot be denied!]

The dark doctrine theory
As black magic refers to powers of darkness, believers of this theory believe that this type of magic relates directly to Satan.
The formal differences theory
There are thought to be many forms and components to black magic and those casting the black magic have different interests and reasons for doing so, followers of this theory believe that black magic is only harmful when it involves the use of personal items such as clothing, hair or blood of those the spell is directed towards.
The no connection theory
Followers of this theory believe that black and white magic have no connection at all as both practises use totally different forms, followers to this theory see both forms as totally opposing each other.
The separate but equal theory
People who follow this theory believe black and white magic are the same thing with the only difference being the goals they accomplish and the means by which witches get there. All spells are spells and the difference is only determined by the outcome of the particular spell cast.

Black magic is usually said to be performed more by those who worship the devil hence the term black magic, magic spells cast this way will usually involve the use of ones personal belongings such a piece of clothing, a lock of hair or blood. The spells cast are said to usually be for the sole purpose of bringing harm to the one they are directed at.

White magic is usually thought to help people and do no harm to others; popular spells of this type are love spells and potions, with the hope of bringing the love of your life into your arms. However, spells of this type usually involve the use of personal belongings too but for different means.

Curses and hexes
The basic curse or hex is perhaps one of the oldest forms of magic dating back thousands of years with forms of hexes and curses being used in many cultures and traditions. Hexes vary considerably in different hands and can range from the simple to the more elaborate and can be cast in a variety of ways, the most simplest of curses and hexes do nothing more than bring the person bad luck while the more elaborate can cause many problems with the victims wealth, health and even specified body parts.
The very basic hex or curse can be a spoken curse wishing bad luck and unhappiness on the intended victim; this is usually invoked by briefly describing what you want to happen to the victim followed by a sacred word or magical name.
Gypsy curses
Gypsy curses are perhaps the best known of all curses, exactly why is not known, but it probably stems from gypsy fortune telling of many years ago and one of the most famous of all gypsy curses which has been portrayed on TV many times is. “May you wander over the face of the earth forever, never sleep twice in the same bed, never drink water twice from the same well and never cross the same river twice in a year”.

As you can see gypsy curses can be pretty elaborate and not just simply one or two words, after all if we could be cursed or hexed with just a couple of simple words the parents of almost every teenage child would drop dead on the spot.
Voodoo, curses and hexesVoodoo has long been recognised as a form of curse or hex, this tradition involves the use of a figure crafted in the fashion of the intended victim and often has some trait of the victim such as hair or blood. The practitioner of voodoo would then use pins to stick in the doll with the hope of causing the victim great pain and suffering; the practice of voodoo is thought to have come from the Caribbean.
Different forms of curses and hexes
People throughout the world have their own different beliefs on curses and hexes with all of them intending to bring trouble and strife to the unsuspecting victim, the Chinese believe that they can deliver a curse by leaving a few grains of rice and some pennies on the victim’s doorstep. This type of curse symbolizes a wish for the victim to have great financial difficulty.

More recently a Tanzanian member of parliament declared they would put an Islamic death curse on the board members of a Tanzanian executive branch if they didn’t clean up corruption. The aboriginal Australians strongly believe that a curse can be put on someone by pointing a kangaroo bone at them and curses have always been associated with the Egyptians.

King Tutankhamen’s tomb is a great example of this and it has always been shrouded with mystery and anyone said to have been associated with the opening of the tomb was cursed with six of the people involved with the opening of the tomb meeting untimely and unfortunate deaths.
The curse of Rasputin
Perhaps one of the most famous of all curses was the one which Rasputin mumbled from his deathbed, Rasputin cursed Russia’s ruling monarchs due to being shot, almost drowned and castrated by the Romanov prince. This curse was apparently very effective as the entire family were dead within one year. What is Necromancy?

Necromancy is a form of divination which is used to conjure the spirits of the dead in order to gain knowledge about the future and the outcome of events in the future, the spirits conjured this way are called spirits of divination.
The spread of necromancy

During the middle ages, illiterate members of society were either nobility or Christian clergy and it is thought that either of these groups was responsible for the propagation and practice of necromancy, even though in Christianity it is forbidden and denied.

Some people deny that necromancy has anything to do with witchcraft while others say that it is a form of black magic and witchcraft and necromancers were tried as witches and hanged, the confessions of those accused of necromancy suggest that a wide range of spell casting and magical practices were involved in necromancy.
The practice of necromancy
It is though that to be able to conjure up the dead the practitioner needs the help of powerful spirits for both the practitioners’ protection and to make the corpse or ghost of the dead submit to his will. An ancient spell is the used to call upon the powers of powerful spirits to bind the dead with two essential elements that are needed to summon the dead, a burnt sacrifice and a blood-drenched altar. Elaborate preparations are made which includes the careful study of the planets and in particular the moon and the influence of Saturn.

The site for the ritual also has to be chosen with great care with the most favourable sites being crossroads, vaults, ruins or a deserted forest. Once the site has been chosen and the alignment of the planets is in favour a concentric circle of power is drawn on the ground, within the circle are inscribed crosses and other symbols.

For the magic to work, the necromancer and his assistant must stand within the circles centre and the circle must be blessed or consecrated. The summoning of the dead or spirit of the dead can then take place using the names of power, when this is successful the dead will return full of anger at being summoned against his will to return to the land of living.

The necromancer must then struggle to gain control over the dead and when control has been gained, the necromancer can then control them and questions will be asked which the dead must answer.

After the ritual has finished the necromancer must not leave the circle until the dead has been dismissed and all flowers must then be removed from the area and burned and the ashes buried deep into the earth. The ritual is one of the darkest forms of black magic and is the most dangerous of all forms of witchcraft.
