Tall tales & shady portrayals (Pt3)

why three posts on such a strange topic? Why talk about something like this? Only because their is so much confusion about it. I am not by any means well versed on it, but I know enough to realize that nothing exists outside the realm of God's doing and that scripture provides the only basis for understanding the supernatural.

I can see as well as anyone that the media outlets and the imaginations of men have been building up ideas and "possibilities" of what the supernatural can be for thousands of years. This means that (as with the multitude of religions) their are scores of choices for people to sink their trust or hope in, but only one source can provide the truth.

I can also see how so many people, having adopted the naturalistic/materialistic worldview have decided that no supernatural event or thing is possible, or at least knowable. This is pure irrationality from the first claim (it is self-refuting), but people do believe it anyway just like they believe that ghosts and aliens are real.

The point is that if people are being led astray by the many options it is worth our time as Christians to sit down and define terms; to stop and say what is assumed and what isn't. To note that without an absolute source (one outside mans corruption) we are left making it all up as we go. Meanwhile their is a truth that can be known and answers to all our questions. In that, it is worth the time to think about these things and apply them to help lessen to confusion even slightly, both ours and anyone we talk to on these topics.

One might ask, "Why is a biblical basis required to understand the supernatural?" Implying that Christians can't just assume they are right any more than another person, but the problem is that when ideas conflict so utterly, only one truth exists. When compared and tested only the Christian worldview both survives its own claims and the insults hurled at it. God knows better than us and has given us enough information to know what to believe on most topics even though popular theory suggests otherwise.
