My father is a "Christian", in a loose, nominal sense: he would answer "yes" to the question "Are you a Christian?". That's about as far as it goes. He says he saw a ghost when he was aged 10. Story: he was staying with his mother and father in a very old hotel in Skegness (an English seaside town) and he was woken by a woman in a white gown coming into his room. She went out again, and in the morning he told his parents, who complained to the hotel manager. That individual told them that the hotel was haunted by the ghost of a woman who died there hundreds of years before, and that was what my father had seen. Personally, I suspect that the hotel manager was making it up to deflect the complaint.

Every person with whom u speak

I sure leave your beliefs alone if you limit your own comments to the topic.

Your silly proselityzing and quotes from a fairy book, offering views of a jealous, vengeful god, have nothing to do with whether christians believe in god or not.

Beliefs must only be tenuously held if the sight of expressed contrary ones causes the holder to tremble and whine.

@contrex,

But even that tenuousness is too much for my taste..

@Francis,

What has one;s opinion of the poster to do with whether or not the Bible has validity.

I can assure you that my own life makes no case for a study of the Creator.

@neologist,

I can cope with a wide diversity of opinions, fewer people would accept to deal with as many as I can do.

Trying to shove one down my throat, even if I agree with it, will immediatlely cause a reaction from my part..

I'd like to see if, without a life, (meaning that you are non-existent) you could perform a study of the creator..

I have discovered (accidentally) that comments or questions
that have the effect of challenging core-beliefs
can result in the release of negative emotions in the woman to whom I was speaking.

You would not be invited back to the "Scripture Centered Symposium on MOdern Life" with that admission

Nor would I want to..

However, my original intent was not rendered in my writing as I wanted to say:

Assume it was a Freudian slip..

@Francis,

The Holy Ghost is a consubstantial member of the Trinity. Divided and united with the Father and the Son.

"Do Christians believe in ghosts?"

At least to the extent of believing
that the Spirit and Mind of Jesus survived the crucifiction
and ascended to Heaven to be at the right hand of God,
the answer must be affirmative

Jesus was actually dead.

He had to be resurrected by his father.

No; u r confusing Jesus with his outer covering,
which he molted. Jesus was never dead, nor has anyone else ever been dead.
