He had left the flock to find lost sheep. His appearance on the wing of an airplane dressed as a shepherd meant the deliverance of many souls. Glory be to Christ. ---

They are those who choose not to be with God in the afterlife. what spirit in the video? who, or what, is it a spirit of? all I see in the video is clever editing and dust. I’ve seen videos of Shrek - does this mean Ogres exist as well? Has Mat Damon really been to Mars and grown potatoes? Your pictures, again, ’ claim’ to be of the ‘Holy Spirit’ - that claim does not make it so. - pictures I saw appeared to be of dust particles and/or strands of hair. What’s this ‘netherworld’ (I thought we were talking about ‘hell’) ? where is it located? got any objective evidence for its existence? ---

So, he leaves a bunch of sheep defenseless to find a lost one? Who else saw this ‘appearance’ on the wing of an airplane? How do you know the difference between a ‘good’ spirit (Christ, supposedly) and a ‘demon’ who wants to decieve you? ---

> [@ScottRP](#): > > Primarily, hell is the state or condition of being without God in the afterlife. The spirit is evil. Here is a video of a person who has evil spirits in his life. You can see an evil spirit who is in hell flying. > > [Paranormal Exposure, Hard Evidence](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-k9PHX4MR4) No it is not “hard evidence”, increasing the size of low resolution video only increases the number of artifacts that turn then into “ghosts” that one can “find” in such a video. “Enhancings” like that one are just not believable.

What would you say to a muslim who had a vision of God saying that Jesus was just a man, and Muhammad was the last prophet? ---

These are the souls of those already dead? Why did you need this message when you were nine? I don’t mean offense, but when something similar happened to me when I was thirteen, the message was a lot more age-appropriate. What were you afraid of then? ---

The photographs below are of the Holy Spirit. These photographs have been a mystery to mankind for decades. The Holy Spirit is highly misunderstood in the world. Many have seen Him, but few have recognized Him. He is erroneously known as spirit orbs, angel orbs, and ghost orbs. Some people who have not seen orbs with their naked eyes believe them to be photographic anomalies and pareidolia. The spiritual orbs are in reality supernatural and divine. **Identifying the Holy Spirit** This is a photograph of the [Holy Spirit descending like a dove](http://i.imgur.com/u1NzHvh.jpg). Here is a photograph of the [Holy Spirit motionless.](http://i.imgur.com/FXRAW5Y.jpg) Here is a painting of [Saint Andrew with the Holy Spirit upon him.](http://i.imgur.com/pDBtjDX.jpg) The Halo is found in scripture as the Holy Spirit alighting and remaining upon Jesus. The Spirit of God and Spirit are other names for the Holy Spirit. Mathew 3:16. When He had been baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water, and behold, the heavens were opened to Him, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting upon Him. John 1:32. John testified saying, “I have seen the Spirit descending as a dove out of heaven, and He remained upon Him.” The second photograph above is of the Holy Spirit in His bodily(spirit body) form. Luke 3:22. And the Holy Spirit descended in bodily form like a dove upon Him, and a voice came from heaven which said, “You are My beloved Son; in You I am well pleased.” The Holy Spirit alighting and remaining upon Jesus appeared as a Halo. ---

Aren’t cameras the works of man and aren’t all works of man corrupt? Photos are just photos, and not of the Spirit. What of the flesh that God should embrace? ---

THe third one is a fricking painting - How does either of the first two uniquely, and objectively, identify the objects pictured as the ‘holy spirit’ ? ---
