Just as TenQ said, light and heat energies exist even though they're not tangibles. If you dispute that existence cannot be without material body, yet we have these two for example, do you then inffer that the physical created the non physical?. If that be the case how can it be?.

It's difficult for a picture within a frame to comprehensively describe the frame in which it is housed.

I perceive that the major attack here is against God's existence, but it's an attempt in futility as He who exists outside time, space and matter which give rise to the physical, can not be subjected by the same things which he made.


The non physical ( to man) is more real than the physical.

We understand what it’s being attacked.
When people come to make claims about non belief in phenomena that cannot be touched or felt or seen, then they erroneously obliterate their very existence and logic.

We know that no one can show empirical proof of their consciousness, the OP inclusive. We know the OP has never seen logic or have shown empirical evidence for logic. We know the OP has never seen a mind before.
We know the OP cannot even provide proof that we are living at this time and having this conversation.

If the OP continues on that track of strict empiricism, verificationism and scientism, then all forms of existence and reality are obliterated.

Why? Because we can’t really be sure of anything.

Check up the story of Flatland: A 3 dimensional object describing 3 dimensional planes to 2 dimensional planes. The 2 dimensional planes struggled to understand the 3 dimensional planes as they had never been exposed to information about any 3 dimensional plane.

See Jesus and Dr Nicodemus below:

“What is born of [from] the flesh is flesh [of the physical is physical]; and what is born of the Spirit is spirit.

Marvel not [do not be surprised, astonished] at My telling you, You must all be born anew (from above).

The wind blows (breathes) where it wills; and though you hear its sound, yet you neither know where it comes from nor where it is going.

So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit. Nicodemus answered by asking, How can all this be possible?

Jesus replied, Are you the teacher of Israel, and yet do not know nor understand these things? [Are they strange to you?]”
‭‭John‬ ‭3:6-10‬ ‭AMPC‬‬

Thoughts are associated with something with a physical form.....




So, your lack of understanding isn't an achievement.....,

So can we get in a physical form a cow or car or house when your brain is opened by a surgeon, after you had thought about these things?

Why would you want me to prove the existence of spirits for you or anyone here on naira land. I believe they exist and I never set up a thread asking someone to show me proof. If you are really and genuinely curious, you should be able to do anything it takes to find out the truth.

If I describe how they look or feel, you still won't believe unless you see with your eyes. Telling me to do a video of one is you trying to play a fast one on me. It goes against the definition of what a spirit is. So stop cracking me up. I suggest you look for proof of spirits yourself. They are not hard to find.




I didn't ask you to do a video, I said tell me one spell that is guaranteed to bring out a spirit and I'll do the video myself.

It's not a spirit that's involved...
It's faith.....
Gravity is associated with something with a physical form....
Black holes are associated with something with a physical form....
How are spirits associated with anything at all

SPIRITS? FAITH? I totally disagree with that because when it comes to REAL FAITH you will SEE the benefits but most religionists coming together for worship don't even have any faith at all yet they gather just because a force is dragging them. The fact that you're not attending any center for worship doesn't mean you're not religious, because their are many things you are doing just because others around you are also doing it.
Are you married?
Do you plan to have children?
Do you think of their future and wellbeing?

All these are things people struggle to have in a religious manner yet none is certain so what makes you differ from them? If you see people gather together for worship never think it's due to faith, NO! It's a force they can't grasp that's responsible for the gathering so even if they're not comfortable they just want to be a part of the system just like any sane human wants to get married, have children and train them even though he doesn't know if things will work out as he plans! smiley

Just exactly the same way your questions sounds stupid to any believer!
The codes and programs are associated with computers just as spirits are associated with humans.
The book says:

And war broke out in heaven: Miʹcha·el and his angels battled with the dragon, and the dragon and its angels battled but they did not prevail, nor was a place found for them any longer in heaven. So down the great dragon was hurled, the original serpent, the one called Devil and Satan, who is misleading the entire inhabited earth; he was hurled down to the earth, and his angels were hurled down with him. Revelations 12:7-9

The heavens in the highlighted means the spiritual realm and the earth is the physical where other intelligent beings lives. The book specifically mentioned EARTH and ever since astronauts have been traveling to the space they never found anything living.
So the book is telling us that these spirits are associated with intelligence beings HUMANS, therefore it's by observing the activities of humans that you can grasp the existence of SPIRITS! smiley

Those who weren't born Christians, what manual should they be using? undecided

O boy! I avoid making recommendations for I see people know what is Good and when they see a Good thing they normally do not hesitate to take it.

Just as I once saw this statement "As the gem cannot be polished without friction nor man perfected without trials" which is a Chinese Proverb, I accepted the Good of it and lived by these words, even though I am not Chinese.

So if i can take lectures from a Chinese simply because it is good, I know that other people can, if and when they want a good thing.

All it takes is good and proper examination.

And to remember the fact is that we are not naturally Christians either but pagans. However, when Christianity was offered to us, we saw the Good in it hence our acceptance.

You know people, if a thing is not good, they will definitely be searching for alternatives.

You saw my answer in the first paragraph but because I attempted clearing any further questions that you may reasonably ask, I added the remaining paragraphs.

So you are just simply basically complaining because you really do not have any reasonable way of proceeding any further.

2 Chronicles 7:14, laid Four (4) Requirements, Terms and Conditions for forgiveness, not just 2.

1) humble themselves,
2) and pray,
3) and seek my face,
4) and turn from their wicked ways;

2 Chronicles has Spoken! And it is quite interesting to see that FORGIVENESS COMES LAST! grin

I wonder if you would wonder why forgiveness comes last? Actually I don't Care! grin

Like I’ve said, the ONLY thing we can be 100% certain exists is thinking (consciousness). If you say otherwise, then tell us how you are certain anything else physically exists

Look closely, as per verse 13, 2 Chronicles 7:14 is about staying (stopping) God's judgement (Plagues) upon the peoples and lands of Israel, which is what forgiveness means there.

But for a Personal Security from His Punishments, verse 17 tells you
"And as for thee, if thou wilt walk before me, as David thy father walked, and DO according to ALL that I have commanded thee, and shalt observe my statutes and my judgments;

The very same Words He told Abraham.
