For example:<br /><br />- EMF changes are experienced in both types of sightings, and measured frequently in ghost encounters. This includes electrical fluctuation, engine failure, etc.<br /><br />- Both phenomena have presented themselves in physical and semi-transparent forms, including only partial visibility.<br /><br />- Both can leave trace residue and physical marks after disappearing.<br /><br />- Both have been observed "blinking out" in a moments notice.<br /><br />- Both have been observed passing through physical objects.<br /><br />On reincarnation (past lives), the claim that the Bible was purposely "edited" to remove any reference to reincarnation is false. This idea was made popular by Shirley MacLaine (an ET believer) when she incorrectly claimed quote, "The theory of reincarnation is recorded in the Bible. But the proper interpretations were struck from it during an ecumenical council meeting of the Catholic Church in Constantinople sometime around A.D. 553, called the Council of Nicaea [sic]" (Out on a Limb, 234–35). <br /><br />Historical facts provide no basis for this claim. In fact, there was no Council of Nicaea in A.D. 553. Further, the two ecumenical councils of Nicaea (A.D. 325 and A.D. 787) took place in the city of Nicaea (hence their names)—and neither dealt with reincarnation. What did take place in A.D. 553 was the Second Ecumenical Council of Constantinople. But records from this Council show that it, too, did not address the subject of reincarnation. None of the early councils did and Biblical writings, from the very beginning, extol one soul and one life for each person.<br /><br />The origin of Shirley MacLaine’s mistaken notion that early church leader Origen taught reincarnation is probably "Reincarnation in Christianity", by Geddes MacGregor—a book published by the Theosophical Publishing House in 1978. The author speculates that Origen’s texts supported the belief in reincarnation but somehow disappeared or were suppressed by other church fathers, while he admits he has no evidence of it. Origen, in fact, disputed reincarnation as a pagan concept.<br />Brian Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04201018843054563257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11558306.post-49460944018637851522017-06-09T11:38:20.785-07:002017-06-09T11:38:20.785-07:00Two great interviews in one.
