Armenian Evangelical Paranormal Belief

The Armenian Evangelical Paranormal Belief because it is a Christian denomination, believe that it is forbidden that believers attempt contact with malevolent spirits that pretend to be spirits of the dead, and that the dead should not have contact with the living as stated in Luke 16:19-31.

It is believed that this contact results in contact with spirits that are not of the dead but malevolent spirits which are deceitful and pretending to be such and as such are commanded by Satan and are named as demons, evil spirits and unclean spirits.

It is believed that these spirits are familiar with the recent dead and is the reason why they have knowledge with intimate name details, places, situations and circumstances. In the bible this is referred to as a familiar spirit, Isaiah 29:4.

Within Armenian Evangelical Paranormal belief it is believed by Christians that the plan of demon spirits to become interested in all that they do especially the wonders they seem to b e able to perform and thus affect people and move them away from their relationship with God.

Often those interested in the paranormal including ghosts and end up experimenting with other activities such as Ouija boards, tarot cards, astrology, fortune telling etc. The search for spirituality often results in delving deeper into the occult which results in an ever increasing downward slope into the occult.

As stated in the bible it is believed that Satan will have then "blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God." (2 Cor. 4:4).

Christians believe in God and in the Devil and believe that God is stronger than the Devil

God created everything that is perfect, and anything that Satan created is not perfect. It is quite clear then that sin itself would have been created by Satan, and not God, it is also then quite clear that God can do anything-God is perfection. God is love.

Satan is not.

The Armenian Evangelical Religion is a very recent religion which was established in 1846 by thirty seven men and three women in Constantinople.

There was an awakening intellectual and spiritual movement in the 19th century which encouraged enlightenment by studying the bible. A school was opened at that time and the principal aim of this school was to train qualified clergy for the Armenian Apostolic Church.

However, the result of this "Pietistical Union" instead of just studying the bible, questions were raised regarding the practices and traditions of the church, which seemed to conflict with biblical truths.

The Armenian Patriarchate of Constantinople retaliated and excommunicated the reformists causing them to eventually form the Armenian Evangelical Church in 1846.

There are churches in Argentina, Armenia, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada, Cyprus, Egypt, England, France, Georgia, Greece, Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, Syria, Turkey, Uruguay and the USA.
