If jusus is a ghost or a holy spirt does it mean when we die we turn into ghosts or a spirit? Cause many people dont think or believe ghosts or spirits are real. What do you think?
 
Perhaps it is possible to somehow exist after your physical body has died, as a sort of energy, but who knows for certain? Your theological statement, however, does not stand as proof of anything. Whatever made you ponder this in the first place?
 
you guys ever heard of a little thing called a SOUL? that's what lives eternally :yes: and for those of you who are skeptical, it can be proven :p
 
I was always taught that the Holy Ghost was slightly different. When Christians say "Father" it means God, "Son" means Jesus but the Holy Ghost is something that lives within you and guides you through your life.
 
If there is a God, and He is all powerful, would it be possible for him to create a rock so heavy that even He could not lift it? Would that make Him all powerful?
 
^Why does it have to be purely in a scientific way? Do you only believe in science? Is science never wrong or not 100% accurate? Are there not other methods to prove something right? In a court of law plenty of things are proven without science, it doesn't make them wrong. Facts are facts regardless.

But what is actual the exact question you are asking?

a) Is Jesus Christ a Spirit/Ghost?
b) Are we like Jesus Christ, so we will be 'spirits'?
c) Are we somehow capable of existing without a body?

Logic would say, if we say yes to question C, then logically we would need to say yes to question a+b as well.

Truth is something universal and unchanging, regardless of the 'modi operandi' with which we try to glean that truth.

The thing with science is that science itself will overthrow it's own rules and then it becomes messy.
It becomes even messier wanting to prove something that isn't of this world anyway- it's like trying to get somebody to abide by the laws of a country they are not citizens of.
Science also believed that women had an internal organ climbing around uncontrollably, causing "hysteria" in a woman- thus the nice word "hysterectomy". That was a scientific conviction.
And not too long women got their pregnant bellies x-rayed, all in the name of science. Science thought lobotomies are a great idea. Science came up with a lot of stuff like that.

Science can be our friend, but like you I would not expect Science to be able to prove some unscientific in the first place.

Science, like time and space, seems rather relative. The truth is nothing relative. Trying to describe something truly universal with something that's decidedly relative and not universal is like trying to nail the proverbial pudding to the wall. You'll succeed only with a teeny tiny snippet, the rest slides off the wall.
 
Unfortunately, many believe it only when they see it, that means they have no faith.....
... If science doesn't prove them wrong or right (or can't)...

A ghost is a restless soul, that can't find peace where he/she landed, although the spirit can refer to a ghost also, to any non-corporeal entity/presence.

For more on the etymology of the word 'spirit':

The English word spirit comes from the Latin spiritus, meaning "breath", but also "spirit, soul, courage, vigor", ultimately from a Proto-Indo-European *(s)peis. It is distinguished from Latin anima, "soul." In Greek, this distinction exists between pneuma (πνευμα), "breath, motile air, spirit," and psykhē (ψυχη), "soul."

The word "spirit" came into Middle English via Old French. The distinction between soul and spirit also developed in the Abrahamic religions: Arabic nafs (نفس) opposite rúħ (روح); Hebrew neshama (נְשָׁמָה nəšâmâh) or nephesh (in Hebrew neshama comes from the root NŠM or "breath") opposite ruach (רוּחַ rûaħ). (from Wikipedia)

A ghost is considered to also be a demonic energy/spirit, and in Christianity, the term "Spirit" describes all that is God. But that's too light-hearted a debate for such a complex journey into the unseen... Whenever I think of subjects like these, I don't feel at ease... who could be explained by means of silence, not science, or by means of endless talk, but where one gets entagled and lost...They're tricky and one needs an empirical approach derived from experiences, from life, both internal and external. Reading from various sources who all say different things doesn't help either. It's up to us to better ourselves while on this earth as humans, which is hard, but the next life depends on it too much... God's mysteries are His mysterious for a reason, means we simply cannot decipher them totally, if at all, at times.
