I wasnt referring to you, I dont doubt the exsistence of spirits. I was reffring to your ability to "experience" them and the responsibilty/interactions.
I think most people would doubt it actually. I have never been insulted when people that say they don't believe me, it is a lot to take in.
I really think it is just one of those things you accept or your don't, there is really no convincing people about it.
I have not concentrated on this topic enough to truly understand it, so all I have to go off of is what I understand the Bible to say. There are spirits, some are eveil some are holy, some are lost. ALL have to submit to the authority of God and the Holy Spirit. and when a person accepts Jesus they then have authority over those spirits also.
I am not religious, I probably should be, but I am not. I don't know much about what the Bible says, I just try to treat others as I would like to be treated. I can say this, like I told Matt, there is evil in this world. There are some that were evil in life and they are evil in death. It is those that I worry about, they seem to have powers that are hard to resist. Good always seems to find a way to triumph evil, but it takes a lot of their energy to do so.
Why you experience them is unknown at least to me, just like some people can hear Gods voice and other cant.
I wish I knew what it happens. For years I thought it was just all in my head until I started to describe people that others actually knew. That was a validation for me personally, but I never expect others to feel the same way about me. I normally don't openly discuss much about all of this, except with close family and friends. I posted about it the other night and it all just sort of took off. I don't mind it, still just kind of odd.
You never met Remo. I swear the cat was insane. He would be very nice and would decide for himself who he liked. If you weren't on his list of likeable people, you were screwed.
