Are Jinn, or Genies, real?

They are more similar to fairies, leprechauns and the like.

Angels are divine beings, not merely supernatural.

Well, I think being able to possess people and being able to change shape is supernatural.

 

[bcuster]

Fully spiritual beings. Possessing no bodies, other than when God allows it for His own purposes

So what’s an elf?

Insurance claim: "I saw a sad faced old gentleman as he bounced off the bonnet of my car"

I reckon we should start a class action lawsuit against the Catholic church, for everyone who was ever refused an insurance pay-out due to an 'act of god'.

According to Wikipedia:

"Although usually invisible, jinn are supposed to be composed of thin and subtle bodies (Arabic: أَجْسَام, romanized: ajsām), and can change at will. They favor a cockroach or a snake form, but can also choose to appear as scorpions, lizards, or humans. They may even engage in sexual affairs with humans and produce offspring. If they are injured by someone, they usually seek revenge or possess the assailant's body, requiring exorcism. Jinn rarely meddle in human affairs, preferring to live with their own kind in tribes similar to those of pre-Islamic Arabia."

There is a comedy film called something like "The Man Who Sued God".

I am not sure, but there is a state body that protects them called the Elven Safety Executive.

What is a gnome?

An elf's house.

Are you saying that every elf has a gnome to go to?

Only fair(y).

 

[Humberto]

There are supposed to be like a hundred million of them or something.

"I heard a company of Angels around the Throne, the Animals, and the Elders—ten thousand times ten thousand their number, thousand after thousand after thousand in full song: The slain Lamb is worthy! Take the power, the wealth, the wisdom, the strength!"

Sounds like a ghost.

Like an imp or brownie

Ghosts are different again.

They are mostly recordings of strong emotions and occasionally souls trapped by trauma.

Though obv imps and faeries can be mistaken for them.

Do you have any evidence for your assertions about ghosts?

Did you ever see a ghost that looked like an imp?

Ghosts go woo

 

[8ball]

Some people are meant to die at a particular time, in a particular way, others are not and those are the ones that can be saved.

How would one go about disproving a notion such as this?

 

[PTK]

Ghost is a catch all word for all sorts of different phenomena. I never take anyone seriously if they try to explain ghosts in such a defined way. Ghost is really about how we perceive something, rather than being about the thing that we perceive.

I like that last sentance This would explain why some people never see ghosts. They never interprer what they see as being "a ghost".

 

[danny la rouge]

I think it depends on what your life plan consists of. Some people are meant to die at a particular time, in a particular way, others are not and those are the ones that can be saved.

Are you employing irony here? Or do you mean to say that “the children gassed in the extermination camps in the 1940s, or the kids dying in the Gaza Strip” were meant to die at that time in that particular way? (The post you were replying to).

I’m hoping it’s irony.

You mean like Final Destination?
Nah.
