It looks like you are discussion for nothing, because you two thrust the same (important) thing that is Christ, the Son of God. What seems to happen here is that you two live in greatly different enviroments. Here in Brazil, where we have see many African-derived cults, I hear many stories about supernatural things brought by evil spirits. This country is greatly dominated by people who adore the devil, but I'm happy because I hear more and more about Christians who fight them. In the Bible we can see that THE NAME OF JESUS give us this power to expel demons and the Bible also says we should have COURAGE in life. So, don't fear to face a "ghost", just call for Jesus. The devil operates in many ways. The Bible shows that they have (some) power and certainly some inteligence to use it. Chris, you don't see because you live in a much more peaceful place, where God has probably cleansed from devil's cults that invoke evil spirits. Praise the Lord for the place you live in. And remember in your prays for places where this is not the case yet (like here in Brazil). God Bless You PS: Sorry for taking part in a discussion I was not called to. Pablo Sampaio Recife, Brazil
