Question
Tyler
There seems to be a lot of shows and movies now about ghosts, EVP's, etc.
I find it interesting as I have lost a lot of relatives.
However, I am not sure what Jesus and Christianity says about this, but I think I remember something about not doing it.
Still, if a spirit has not crossed over, he is still a person and it should be OK to comunicate right?
thanks for your thoughts!
Terry, "Ghosts" do not really exist. When people die, they cease to exist until the resurrection. It is not possible to contact them. King Saul went to a medium and she brought up a devil who pretended to be Samuel (1 Samuel 28). These things still happen. People may communicate with demons, not the spirits of the departed.

Expertise
I will gladly respond to questions on perfection, sanctification, justification, the seal of God, and the nature of Christ. I can also help people understand issues related to the ceremonial law and Decalogue in the New Testament. As an SDA, I read more than fifty of Ellen G. White's books in their entirety. I can answer questions about Adventism, from the perspective of a well read member for more than thirty years. Martin Luther's treatise, "The Freedom of a Christian Man" is one of my favorite Christian writings. If I am not comfortable answering a specific question, I will try to refer you to a good resource.
