THE BIBLE & EVP

This is something I want to share involving one aspect of paranormal investigation, known as EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomenon), and how it relates to the Bible. First, for those who may not know, what is Electronic Voice Phenomenon? This is when paranormal investigators use a digital recorder in a certain area hoping to catch voices or sounds from an unseen entity or ghost that the human ear could not hear. It is a unique experience when you hear an EVP while reviewing the recording after an investigation. On a side note, I actually do a Christian approach to the paranormal with a ministry I founded called S.P.I.R.I.T.S. (Society of Paranormal Investigative Research Involving The Scriptures). This is based on 1 John 4:1 with the intent to “try the spirits whether they be of God.” Through this I attempt to reach people with Biblical answers to the paranormal hoping to prevent them from seeking the occult and divination which I was involved in before coming to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. One of the Biblical answers I gleaned involving EVP is found in Genesis 4:10 after Cain murdered his brother Abel. God said to Cain, “What has thou done? The voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground.” Did you see that? God heard the the voice of Abel's blood crying unto Him. I guess this can explain how EVPs can often be heard in places where murder or other such tragedies involving the brutal loss of human life where blood was shed. This can be one of the answers of how an actual human voice (and yes, I know sometimes demons can imitate them but this study may show that's not always the case) can be heard from their blood or DNA that still lingers in a place crying out for justice while their soul can be in either Heaven or Hell. This also speaks of the importance of blood, especially when we consider what Leviticus 17:11 says about it, “For the life of the flesh is in the blood.” As always, much more can be said about blood but I want to bring to your attention about another factor involving EVP. It has been reported among some scientists a while back how rocks can absorb sound and any sound it may have absorbed can still be stored up and can possibly be heard if somehow retrieved. To add more strangeness to this theory, I heard they were also attempting to analyze rocks around Gettysburg in hopes of retrieving the sounds of Abraham Lincoln giving the Gettysburg Address. I'm not sure how all that panned out but it's interesting to say the least. But if rocks can indeed replay sounds and voices of the past, can a digital recorder pick it up resulting in an EVP? According to the Bible, it just might be a possibility. I share this last verse with an open mind for what it's worth. It's when Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey and was being praised by many people while the Pharisees refused and told Jesus to rebuke them. Jesus said to them in Luke 19:40, “I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.” Again, I know a lot more can be said about this subject. One of the main points out of all this is to show that not only a digital recorder isn't silent about EVP, but the Bible isn't either. I know that EVPs can also be the result of actual supernatural entities such as demons, as I mentioned previously, imitating someone familiar who has lived before (a.k.a. 'familiar spirit'). But what I shared may prove that some EVPs can possibly be more natural, rather than supernatural; normal, rather than paranormal.
