Ghost picture of the day

I don't have much new to write about today, so here's a ghost picture.  Do you think these types of  pictures are real or clever fakes?  Or maybe a mix of both?

Is this a weird question or not?

I had some visitors the other day and we were discussing a bunch of different things. During the conversation for some reason or other, we ended up by talking about Christ and the Bible. I was asked a question and this question was, “If God created Adam and Eve, who created God?” To me it was a weird question to ask because I don’t think anyone can answer that.

Well, having a suspicious mind, when someone would ask me something of the sort, I become suspicious as to why this person would ask me that sort of question. Now was it just to see what kind of answer I would give? Or was it just to get me thinking on that sort of thing and maybe lower my belief in Christianity? Or maybe it was just an innocent question to ask for lack of anything else to say.

I don’t think that a person that would ask that kind of question would have a deep faith in Christianity, because if that person knew what the Bible said about "In the beginning..." in Genesis and in other parts of the Bible, they would know that what the Christian view of God being eternal was, and they would already know the answer to the question and need not ask it.

That's my observation of the day, not a rant but something I wondered if people thought was a weird question or not.

Another perspective on the End of Days

Here's a video that I'm going to post without commenting on.  I'd like to get viewers'/readers' thoughts before sharing my own.  Please comment - let me know what you think.

Puzzling Statements

For some reason or other, I’ve always been interested as to what happens to a person’s soul after death. I know for a fact that the soul does not stay with the body because I’ve been there.  In fact 7 months ago I was declared dead by a doctor in the hospital and then all of a sudden I came back. I wrote a post about that.

.

The reason I’m writing about this topic, is because of all the things I’ve read about what happens after you die and where a soul goes.  There are many examples of people that have died and then came back claiming what they saw .  And it was all different from what I had seen.  Their statements are puzzling to me because they are very different from my personal experience.

Another puzzling topic, is about the statements that you read about as to why ghosts are among the living and why they are here. Some say that the souls of the departed refuse to go on to the other side or refuse to go to a bright light or that some had went to the white light then decided to come out in which case the soul would come back among the living.These statements are puzzling because again, there are so many different versions of what happens.  Perhaps all are possible, but I guess because they aren't too similar I wonder why there is such a difference.

 Another puzzling statement that I read was that if a person is murdered and buried somewhere without a proper burial, that person's soul would come back and haunt wherever that person was staying at the time of his or her  killing and keep on haunting until someone figures out where the person is or until the body is discovered and given a proper burial. What I would like to know is how these people can make that statement. How can they know?  That statement is puzzling because it seems there would be no way to validate it or refute it.

Another puzzling statement is that your loved ones will be waiting for you. Do the people who claim this have the experience of being there personally? If they were not there personally then where did they obtain that information in the first place?

My way of thinking is not judgment when the end of the world comes; I believe that Judgment Day is individual and comes when each one of us ceases to exist,  If ever the end of the world happens then the ones that haven’t been judged will have it happen for them then.

Sometimes everything is puzzling and puzzling statements like those above only lend to the confusion about ghosts, life after death and the soul.

Alien Space Cathedral

To have faith in the Creator these days, your faith better be established in your brain like a block of steel, because what you can see in the news as to what some people come out with is unbelievable.

The post title above is exactly what was reported by Fox News in a link to an AOL news section that I read the other morning. 

In the New Mexico desert lies an allegedly secret Scientology installation that includes a huge message for extraterrestrials -- a crop circle-type design that can only easily be seen from high above the ground.

Apparently this can only be seen from high above in the desert in of New Mexico. If these drawings in the desert do exist why was it just written about now? Or could this be a hoax like the crop circles that were supposed to have been done in England a couple of years ago by aliens which was eventually proven to be a hoax? Could this Alien Space Cathedral be just some ones imagination to attract more attention to this type of faith?

What these religions or cults come out with is laughable and yet some people really do believe in this kind of thing but will not believe in the Creator of all things that can’t be seen. With all of these false statements going around trying to make people believe in the kind of faith that they believe in, it's no wonder that some people have lost faith in the true religion but at the same time the question could be what is the true religion? And that is the reason why I say, we don’t know what the true religion is so to be save believe and live by the Ten Commandments.

That is my rant of the day.

Unbelievers

More and more often, we hear about non-believers (or unbelievers as I call them) not wanting to hear about anything that would refer to God, or any objects that would hint of any kind of religious beliefs. A lot of it comes out in the United States around Christmas displays in government buildings.  These are the type of people that have no faith - except perhaps in themselves.  It's okay to have faith in yourself, but it's also okay to have faith in God if that is how you feel.

End of the World?

There are a lot of predictions about the end of the world. The end of the world will come, not from the invisible entity we call God but by stupid human beings that are fighting for power and also over differences in faith. They are the ones that will destroy us all (and themselves). Here is what a scientist from NASA has to say about this rumor of the end of this world on the 21st of this month.

These fears are based on misinterpretations of the Mayan calendar. On the 21st, the date of the winter solstice, a calendar cycle called the 13th b'ak'tun comes to an end. Although Maya scholars agree that the ancient Maya would not have seen this day as apocalyptic, rumors have spread that a cosmic event may end life on Earth on that day. 

Thus NASA's involvement. The space agency maintains a 2012 information page debunking popular Mayan apocalypse rumors, such as the idea that a rogue planet will hit Earth on Dec. 21, killing everyone. (In fact, astronomers are quite good at detecting near-Earth objects, and any wandering planet scheduled to collide with Earth in three weeks would be the brightest object in the sky behind the sun and moon by now.
