Hi UMB5,

Did not Jesus also say?

“Well people do not need a doctor. Sick people do”

hi GB,

You rationalise to justify your beliefs.

Go back to the rock.

What we THINK is irrelevant compared with what is REVEALED

Hi UMB5.

In the book of Sirach -one of the so called Apocrypha- about chapter 36 it says as I recall.

“My son when you get sick first pray. Then call the doctor as God has given him wisdom….”

I suggest it is the way things should be done for believers.

Hi,

Such a doctrine ignores Acts 2.39

And if God has never stopped offering to share His Spirit then the same power is still available

Of course where unbelief prevails little of it will be visible

mt 13.58

And he did not do many miracles there because of their unbelief.

The same unbelief that keeps men out of the kingdom

Heb 4 12-19

Hi UMB5,

We are told that our battle is against wickedness in high places.

We are warned to put on the armour and to take up the sword of the Spirit.

Flesh contributes nothing

Hi UMB5,

Jesus had the all the spiritual gifts including  the gift of discerning of spirits.1cor 12.10

He recognised the inspiration behind the words of Peter and dealt to the cause.

Hi UMB%,

Hi UMB5,

How much of the work of Jesus Christ was setting men free from the occupation by spirits?

How much teaching was about their role?

mt 12.22f, 43f

Hi UMB5,

Possessed?

No but like all men occupied territory.

Only one was clean. The devil had nothing in him.

Like to the Jewish people being given Canaan and yet having to fight for it we must become overcomers just as Jesus Christ was.

rev 3.21

Hi UMB5,

It was not the human spirit of Peter.

Men are vessels.

When Jesus drove out demons he addressed the vessel they lived in.

mk 5 .6

Seeing Jesus from a distance he ran up and bowed down before him, and shouting with a loud voice he said

“What business do we have with each other, Jesus, son of the most High God? I implore you by God…[Read more]

Hi GB,

Test the spirits.

Not the intellects-test the spirits.

You are being deceived.

Hi UMB5

Matt 16.23

Also 2 cor 4.7

2tim 2.20f

Hi Davidl,

But you do not believe in the Son of God

You say he is God.

Hi david,

You do not see the power of God at work?

is there faith on the earth?

Hi,

Note that Jesus rebuked the spirit in Peter.

Those who do not know spiritual things will think Jesus was rebuking the human vessel.

Hi davidl,

Equality means ONENESS?

Unity means ONENESS?

For the words to have any relevance you must be speaking of TWO.

Even a dictionary should help you here

Hi Davidl,

What is your confession about Jesus Christ?

That he is God or the SON of God??

Hi David,

How can you understand spiritual things if you serve a church of the world?

You must be reborn from above.

Then you can see the Kingdom

Hi Davidl,

Indeed the Word was with God and was God.

But the Word is not God.

The SON of God.

Hi GB,

So we need to use COMMONSENSE to explain what spirits are?

Why not seek the answers in scripture?

You have slipped off the rock.
