Biblical Worldview

This website is unique in that it is the only one, that I know of, that analyzes the paranormal/supernatural from a biblical worldview. That is different than having a "Christian" website written by Christians. It is possible, and unfortunately very likely, that the few attempts to analyze the paranormal by Christians, are deficient at the worldview level.

So, to get beneath the water line of paranormal icebergs, we need to to study it from a biblical worldview perspective. This is explained at length in "Seeing Ghosts from God's Eyes". Indeed, that is what the title means—seeing ghosts from a biblical worldview perspective enables us to see ghosts as God does. What a privilege!

Along with studying the supernatural, we will have a dual pronged approach by studying the richness of worldview thinking as well. It will change your life!

Paranormal/Supernatural

Words and language are fluid but for our purposes 'paranormal' and 'supernatural' are synonyms. This is important because when you mention "paranormal" to some people they look at you like a cow looks at a new fence! However, if you mention "supernatural" to these same people, that word is instantly recognizable as the unseen world all around us. But that is essentially what paranormal means. I found out the hard way that people get spooked (sorry!) when you don't clarify. this point. For example, today I had a discussion with someone who, as soon as I mentioned paranormal, they said that that was a weird subject. So, the first rule of thumb for profitable discussion about his issue is to see these two words as interchangeable.

They both have to do with an unseen dimension of reality. They both speak of beings that inhabit this dimension. The nuance that differentiates them in some folks minds is that paranormal is sort of a secularized version of supernatural. For example, in paranormal circles the focus is on investigating ghosts and so on via the scientific method. Whereas, people tend to see the supernatural as part of the full circumference of reality that God has created. Despite the fact that in SOME people's minds there is that difference, for our purposes they will mean essentially the same thing: Namely the unseen realm that God has made and its inhabitants.The paranormal/supernatural is the subject matter of this newsletter/blog, and the worldview will be the spectacles whereby we view this fascinating subject.
