Hi Jodi,

Acts 7.42

But God turned away and delivered them up to serve the host of heaven..

Col 2.18

Let no man keep defrauding you of your prize by delighting in self abasement and the worship of the angels..

Hi Ed,

Of course John was already alive in his own spirit when he received the Holy Spirit.

But you think the Spirit of Christ is the human spirit of the man Jesus?

Hi Ed,

Paul was set apart from his mother’s womb and called by God’s grace.

Gal1.15

Do you think Jesus was more like John being filled with the Holy Spirit while yet in his mother’s womb?

Lk 1.15

Any Scriptures if so?

Hi Ed,

You think that our God could not help a man fulfill the law?

Do you think the law was an unfair requirement made by God?

Hi,

1 Peter 1.6f

“Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations.; that the trial of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto raise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ; whom having not s…[Read more]

Hi Jodi,

You say

“In the NT we see Jesus healing those inflicted with unclean spirits. What did pagans believe about unclean spirits(demons) during the time of Jesus? Their beliefs mirror that of Christian tradition”

Do you ascribe the teaching of the Spirit through Jesus Christ to pagan understandings?

Very brave, maybe foolhardy.

Hi Jodi,

lk 11.24f

“When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he saith

‘I will return unto my house whence I came out’

And when he come through he findeth it swept and garnished. Then goeth he and take the to him 7 other spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in, a…[Read more]

Hi Jodi,

Mk 3.10f

For he had healed many; insomuch that they pressed upon him for to touch him, as many as had plagues.

And unclean spirits, when they saw him, fell down before him, and cried, saying

”Thou art the son of God”

This is truth, not superstition.

Hi Jodi,

Eve was driven to follow her imagination?

By who?

Hi Jodi,

And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out saying

” Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, Jesus of Nazareth? Art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the holy one of God”

And Jesus rebuked him, saying

” Hold thy peace and come out of him”

And when the unclean spirit had torn hi…[Read more]

Hi Jodi,

Mk 1.32

Amd at even, when the sun did set, they brought unto him all that were diseased, and them that were possessed with devils. And all the city was gathered together at the door. And he healed many that were sick of divers diseases, and cast out many devils ;and suffered not the devils to speak, because they knew him.

Hi Jodi,

If the children of the devil repent and are washed in the name of Jesus Christ

they can be cleansed, anointed from above too, and led to become children of God.

Hi Jodi,

You can follow God?

Jesus said for us to follow him.

He was anointed with and led by the Spirit.

Hi Jodi,

Yes tempted and persuaded by evil living within them to produce evil fruit.

Hi Jodi,

Yes only God can set men free from the kingdom of darkness.

That is why God sent His Son, and that those who think they see would become blind.

Hi Jodi,

Yes sin lives in man.

That vessel suits the devils well.

Hi Jodi,

Yes satan entered Judas and he produced evil fruit.

He walked in the way of the liar, the murderer, the accuser of the brethren.

Hi Jodi,

Yes man after the fall walks in every evil demonic way.

Hi Jodi,

Yes there are many false gods and we are warned against idolatry.

Since Satan took up residence in the heart of man he has followed every evil demonic way.

Hi Miia,

The meek shall inherit the earth.

Having been taken up out of the great tribulation to meet the Lord in the air and enjoyed the wedding feast with him they return as the New Jerusalem to the renewed earth where God will dwell with His people. Rev 19-21.
