Excellent advice Gene, well said.

Jodi, in stark contrast to the Adversary, you maintain the Spirit of Christ in the face of fiery darts of the wicked, have very in depth understanding in the Word, which you obviously Love, and clear comprehension of the Meaning of the Word of God in respect to this topic.  Your presentation of the Word, I give personal Witness has been stellar. I hope others have taken into consideration that, indeed, we Men and Women need saved from our wickedness, our iniquities, regardless of the many different forms we manifest sin, or what different words describe our confused fallen race of the First Adam, from whom we inherit all our sinful selves.

Many people have a strange attraction to the “underworld”, imagining a place of burning horrors and tormented ghosts.  It is Hollywood CGI at it’s best.

Where did all those doctrines of devils come from? Such ideas crept into the rebellious nation of Israel in days of old, got repeated and embellished, until God in His wrath, destroyed the Nation for their false teachings. This is the record of both the major and minor prophets.  The “evil spirit/devil realm” being a barbarian belief that the Jews adopted and corrupted themselves in, so God cast them off.  By Jesus’ time, the Jews had become so departed from God, believing in Baal and an army of darkness of a spiritual realm, that Jesus had to show them quite specifically how altogether ridiculous their “casting out devils by the prince of devils” belief system was corrupted with barbaric beliefs of a supernatural evil realm.  Then he quite specifically let them know that THEY were the devils, the nest of vipers and “born of the devil”.  And even with that clear declaration, they still maintained their self delusional beliefs.  Such folk have no departure from evil nor inheritance in the Kingdom of God, because they have no clue what sin and evil is and where it comes from and who is to be held accountable for sin in their own lives.  Also, this fact is manifest evident by the conduct of the one who is deluded. It can be seen in their thoughts, talk and walk.  Knowing God can only come about after Knowing the Enemy, which is our own wicked selves, and repenting of our sins and being baptized into Life, by which God then Reveals all things unto us, yea even the Deep things of God, by His Risen Spirit, Come into us, dwelling within us Forevermore…

That is why you don’t find any such “devil teachings” in the Old Testament. There was never a provision to deal with “demons/devils” not even ONCE in the Law of Moses.  That’s because such things were pagan “imaginations of the heart”, as Jodi has posted of scriptures. False teachings from deluded people who’s attention is wrapped up in supernatural barbarian illusions.  That Law of Moses DID however spell out specifically what Pagan Barbaric teachings NOT to adopt from the ignorant nations surrounding Israel…  which included such things as beliefs in astrology, necromancy, wizardry… or those who claimed to deal with “familiar spirits”, which WAS and IS the false teaching that disembodied spirit exists, and that “they” can be tangible.

Many people today fit the category of those false teachers, who still love to deal with “doctrines of devils”, which we are commanded not to hearken to, but to rebuke as false teachers.  We can tell them by their fruits, their “false accusations” against the Word of God when presented to them, and also by their conduct both in the handling of the Word, and the active ongoing offensive posture taken against the one Speaking the Word of God.

I thank you once again Jodi for your most clear expositions of scripture in this topic. You are a light in this world of darkness.

Blessings in Christ Jesus

It is not a game to know whether you will believe Scripture or not before revealing them to you.  It has to do with Reverence of God’s Word.  You have answered my question adequately sir.

Hi again Nick,

It is an important question I asked, I hope you don’t mind answering that question first.

If I show you where Holy Writ records that Jesus destroyed the devil, would you believe it?

 

 

[Bruce]

Hi Nick, thank you for the welcome. Peace in Christ.

I will answer but first I must ask you an important question;

would you believe it if it is written in Holy Writ that Jesus destroyed the devil?

[Bruce]

Hi Jodi. Beautiful presentation of scriptures. Jesus destroyed the devil in His Self, now by His SAME Holy Spirit in us, He destroys the devil in us! Yes!!! I see it! Thank you! It’s like we must know the Spiritual Language of the angels before the Lord reveals truths to our person, how marvelous in our eyes! Thank you Jesus!
