Satan is the accuser of the brethren. I'm beginning to have my doubts about you.

Mark 2:15 "And it happened that he was reclining in his house, and many tax collectors and sinners were reclining with Jesus and his disciples, for there were many who were following him." Many translations assume it was the house of Levi. Since Jesus was a builder by trade, and we know that...

As I've said elsewhere, demons reside in the soul. The Holy Spirit dwells in the human spirit. Demons did not leave people just because Jesus showed up. Jesus commanded them to depart. We have the same authority and power right now. It is a tragedy that so many Christians suffer because the...

Yes, it is possible. Demons reside in the soul, not the spirit. Their focus is on the will, with the intent of controlling it. The first attack is on the mind. If a demon can control thoughts and imaginations, it's well on the way to controlling the person. Scriptures: 2 Corinthians 10:4 & 5...

First step is to ensure that all who attend are actually born again. Then you'll have some hope of obtaining unity. God has no denominations. There is no theological entrance exam to heaven and there are no separate places for the denominations. All one in Christ Jesus. I was a member of a...

The idea of a poverty stricken Jesus comes from the early days of the life of Jesus. The offering His parents made at the temple was something that the poor would do. We know very little of His life before He went public with His ministry. Jesus was not just a woodworker. Carpenters in those...

Bitterness is the fruit of unforgiveness. There are times when we simply cannot forgive. Yet unforgiveness puts us in a prison of out own making. It does not excuse the one who offends us, but that is not the point. Jesus forgave us far more than any injustice we may suffer. Please read this...

The Lord owns everything. 1 Corinthians 10:26. I suppose you won't buy a house, buy any gold or anything mineral. We don't want you disobeying God, do we.

Check out the history of the Samaritans. They were not Jews and neither Jesus nor the Samaritan woman implied that they were.

That was not the question.

I still don't understand why he/she asked such a ridiculous question. It's pretty much trolling, unworthy of a believer.

How do you know that there are no pure Jews? They have kept to themselves pretty much for 2,000 years. Yes, some have left and some have mixed marriages. Do you not know that God permitted non-Israelites to dwell in the land as if they were born of Israelite lineage? Rahab the harlot was an...

Jesus called Himself "I Am". He also prayed to the Father. No, it's not recorded that He used the 'YHWH". When you are a son, you usually do not use the formal name. Even the President's children call him "dad". So it's hardly surprising that Jesus did the same.

Not hard. There is precedent already. If God had not spared Noah, the only life on earth would be fish and maybe birds and bugs.
