Hi David, Here is something also from that previous post.Ephesians 6:10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the…[Read more]

Hi David, I went and pulled some stuff from that previous post I made awhile back that talks about the ruler of this world and added it with some new points.John 16:8 And when He has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: 9 of sin, because they do not believe in Me; 10 of righteousness, because I go to My…[Read more]

Hi DK,I am with Gene on this, I am not accusing you of lying, but that is definitely the sort of thing that I would need to see to believe.One point I would like to make is this though, whatever it is going on in that house it is NOT CAUSING anyone to sin, which is my entire position on this forum, that there are no supernatural beings that…[Read more]

Quote (david @ Sep. 04 2008,15:54)WHO IS THE RULER OF THE WORLD?WHO DID JESUS REFER TO AS THE RULER OF THE WORLD?WHO?ANYONE?HE SAID IT LIKE 3 TIMES.WHAT WAS HE REFERRING TO?ANYONE?I GUESS NOT.Hi David, If you go back to page 71 and read through my long post, I believe you will find what I believe the answer to your question is.

Quote (david @ Sep. 04 2008,15:58)Quote The OT warns man time and time again not to believe in false gods and demons because they cannot see, hear or walk and they certainly do not have any powers. –JODIcheck verse 26:MATTHEW 12:25-26“Knowing their thoughts, he said to them: “Every kingdom divided against itself comes to desolation, and eve…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Sep. 04 2008,14:27)Hi Jodi, We know that a man without a spirit is dead so the spirits that Jesus was casting out were not the spirits of man or they would have died. There is no suggestion is scripture that natural man has more than one spirit.Nick you would really do yourself some good if you studied the bible more and made…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Sep. 04 2008,13:50)Hi Jodi,Our God is not the father of evil.He is the Father of lights.Another god is the murderer and liar from the beginning.Indeed natural man has his own spirit, but if several live in him they are not of him.The Old Testament talks about God sending evil spirits to do his work. Why are they called evil…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Sep. 04 2008,12:20)Hi Jodi, You say”Why didn't the evil spirits just leave the man at the sight of Jesus? Why wait around and talk to him if they knew he was a person who could over power them?” So you do recognise evil spirits. You just do not understand aspects of their behaviours.I'm not sure who does understand everything…[Read more]

Quote (david @ Sep. 03 2008,20:21)Quote Of course I believe what Jesus taught, he is the one that referred to Satan as directly representing a MAN who has in mind the things of MEN.Hi Jodi.

Quote (david @ Sep. 03 2008,20:03)Quote As well, if this powerful supernatural being wants us to worship him, then why on earth would he also try deceiving us into believing that he does not exist?While he worship for himself, ultimately, he wants to prove God wrong.

Quick correction, I did not mean to assert that I believe that there are any supernatural creatures out there who are separated from God.I believe that the only wickedness in existence today comes strictly from man.
