Not long ago, I asked a great friend if he believed in ghosts. At the time, I did not. His response was, "Well, there's one in the Bible." Naturally, that is all that was needed to launch into a study. What was found was a need to also examine the consequences of disobedience to God. It is fascinating how the two considerations collided in Scripture.
