Presbyterian Paranormal Belief

Presbyterian Paranormal Belief is based on the Christian bible where it is stated, that is forbidden that believers attempt contact with malevolent spirits that pretend to be spirits of the dead, as stated in Deuteronomy 18:11 and that the dead should not have contact with the living as stated in Luke 16:19-31.

Presbyterian paranormal belief is 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.

Presbyterian paranormal belief is 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.

Presbyterian paranormal belief is 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.

Christians believe in the rite of exorcism to rid those possessed by evil spirits of said evil spirits This rite must be performed by an ordained priest who is specially trained for this purpose.

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 Presbyterian Religion is a Protestant faith which originated within the Swiss and French Calvinistic churches. It was founded by John Knox in Scotland in 1557.

The church doctrine can be found in a document known as the Westminster Confession of Faith which was written by a group of 151 laymen, clergy and scholars as directed by the English Parliament in 1643.

Being Presbyterian actually refers to a particular form of church government as the church is led by elders or presbyteros who are either ordained ministers who teach or elected elders who rule.

They differ from other churches as they do not profess that their church is the one true church

The first Presbytery in America was established in Philadelphia in 1706. Presbyterians formed a large percentage of those involved in the American Revolutionary War, so much so that at one point, according to some reports, it was labeled the "Presbyterian rebellion" in the British House of Commons.It is believed that God speaks to humans through the bible which is considered inspired and is infallible.

Presbyterians engage in infant baptism, although they do not believe that a person has to be baptized in order to go to heaven.

Presbyterians are today the largest and most theologically liberal of all American Protestant denominations. The church does not attempt to legislate for its members any personal moral issues thus, questions about things like birth control and abortion are left up to the individual.

Presbyterians also ordain women as ministers and they are permitted to hold any church office.

The generally liberal attitudes are not, however, necessarily characteristic of all Presbyterians. Like most churches, there exists both conservative and liberal factions within the church and their division does, at times, threaten to cause an internal schism. A current debate between conservatives and liberals involves the question of whether or not Jesus is the "saviour of the world."

Conservatives favour a short, simple statement to the effect that faith in Jesus is necessary for salvation and that Jesus is the only way to God
