Question Part V

Are like spirits or like ghosts real?

Evil Spirits do exist

Acts 8:6–7 ESV

6 And the crowds with one accord paid attention to what was being said by Philip, when they heard him and saw the signs that he did. 7 For unclean spirits, crying out with a loud voice, came out of many who had them, and many who were paralyzed or lame were healed.

Acts 16:18 ESV

18 And this she kept doing for many days. Paul, having become greatly annoyed, turned and said to the spirit, “I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her.” And it came out that very hour.

Not spirits of dead people

Hebrews 9:27 ESV

27 And just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment,

The bible teaches clearly that there are spirit beings as angels and demons.

Angels are good spiritual beings, servants of God, and do what He asks.

Demons are evil, rebellious and spawn from Satan. They are filled with deception.

2 Corinthians 11:14–15 ESV

14 And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. 15 So it is no surprise if his servants, also, disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. Their end will correspond to their deeds.
