Does God Care for Ghosts?

The Bible says
God’s care is not for ghosts
that for a time
inhabit men, and then
ascend into a ghostly realm
of bliss above,
yes, even if it notes
(tell Job!)
there are such things
and such things do.

It’s persons whom he loves
and cherishes..

The claim that we’re
essentially unbodied things
designed to be eventually
untethered to the world
God made our only home,
is Plato through and through

and is

when set against
the Bible’s point of view
in which it’s said
God made our bodies good

and deemed them as the seat
of how we know his truth,

and which, upon times end,
will be what God
redeems and sanctifies,

heretical, untrue.

And only those who read
the scriptures through a Gnostic lens
profess it, with a fundamental ignorance
of what the scriptures say,
otherwise.
