Flee fornication. Every sin that a man does is outside the body; but he that commits fornication
sins against his own body (1 Cor. 6:18). When this sin by is committed by Believers, their is a physical union of man / woman with devils (this includes pornography).

Not to defend fornication,
but just for the sake of good doctrine...
could you explain how fornication equals "physical union of man/woman with devils"?

That's the reason God referred to Israel worshiping idols as "spiritual adultery or fornication" (Jer. 3:1-9; Ezek. 23:1-45; Hos., Chpt.4).

Uh. Because of demon activity people should tithe?
Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.

And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the LORD of hosts. Mal. 3:10-11

Right... and that just has no logical connection to what you claimed in post #35, where you said actual physical fornication was joining yourself to demons.


Israel, metaphorically, in a spiritual sense, was God's wife, and so when they worshiped false idols they were essentially "cheating" on their husband... and so they were metaphorically engaging in a metaphorical adultery.

I don't think there's any place in scripture that says when two people commit literal sexual adultery, they are joining themselves to demons.

So demons are locusts, caterpillars, beetles and worms that eat crops?

Demons - Satan - fallen angels - darkness
still happening today
they rule this world with all of its evils and war and inequality
they are murdering us in our millions through drugs and pornography
guns and violence, and every evil under the Sun.

I have seen them - blackest of black figures that oppose our faith
and our walk - full of the most obscene blasphemies.

Demons are running the show and have so many cards up their
sleeves to deal out to fools like;
Green Monday in California is another example of how demons work
to kill fools who do not understand what the game is about.

Demons give the world false religions and false miracles.
They are busy busy fellows working non stop to kill as many
souls as possible.

When there is Pentecostal Holy Spirit revival in third world countries
the first challenge to preaching the gospel is ridding a village of its
witch doctor(s) and the fear of black magic.

Where your treasury is, there will your heart be also. Because your treasure is in the earth, your perspective will only understand and see the letter of the law - earthly things.

Christians are tested with the least in the Kingdom of God which is money.
Considering what Jesus has said here (Luke 16:9-13 NKJV), I think it would be difficult to overstate the significance of this down to earth, practical teaching, that applies to everyone. If a person cannot be trusted with money, and in any capacity, Jesus plainly says, he cannot be trusted with Salvation, i.e., "true riches." In view of the seriousness of what is being said, we would do well to heed carefully.

In these passages (Luke 16:9-13), Jesus is saying that irrespective of how loudly and how often we profess our Godliness, if it does not show up in our practical, every day living, and especially in the matters of money, and our responsibility toward others, our profession is vain. This statement is plain and clear, if we are unfaithful in these things.
"Who will commit to our trust the true riches?"

separating us from knowledge of the truth about our true
Creator and God: Jesus

MessageOfTheCross,

I hope you had a great Christmas, and I hope you have a wonderful year in 2018.

I'm going to leave you alone today, since it's a holiday.

But this is a debate forum... it won't be a holiday forever.

: )

Take care,
- Max

The above is carnal ad hominem that has failed to deal with the text of Scripture or the question proposed. Resorting to such behavior is callow and shows you have no real answers nor care for implementation of 2 Timothy 2:15.

Gift of exorcism? Must've missed that one in the bible.
I'll reply to you the same as I have of others. 1st John chapter 4 verses 1-3, why is this in the Bible? If you have the chance to speak with an Angel of God and he has passed this challenge, what do you do with the information? If he does not contradict the Bible but tells you of things not specifically mentioned in the Bible do you tell others if it will help them? This is my problem, I've had such opportunity to speak with an Angel and he confessed the Gospel of Jesus to me. There are things that are spirit taught and the people that say if it's not in the Bible it doesn't exist have a problem of faith not receiving these things to the edification of the Church.
