These two posts are not connected.
I am also told what I believe, and why and what I am doing.
What is amusing is this is not correct, and though an obvious construction
or straw man, it is also a statement that I am not a christian.
"they failed to come to Christ and believe in what He did"
So it is a lie, and shows no respect, which is odd from someone who claims to
know and follow Christ.
It is also odd for someone who spent months condemning straw men, but then
hypocracy is what they do as well as lie about others.

If you believe God only blesses His people and never brings judgement, neither work.
It is judgement both ways, whether a demon is used or a good judging angel.
What it demonstrates is the HG camp hate the idea of judgement on Gods people.
But Saul is an example of a chosen man, who fails and is then judged and rejected.
I would say the real issue is, does God declare himself as arbitrary in His judgements.
He is the Rock, his works are perfect, and all his ways are just. A faithful God who does no wrong, upright and just is he.
Deut 32:4
God does not sin, doing something that is unjust or wrong.
God does talk to evil spirits.
One day the angels came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan also came with them. The Lord said to Satan, “Where have you come from?”
Job 1:6-7
So I am wondering why is there an issue.
Except for HG followers who need to explain Gods judgement away, ofcourse.
Are you making a wrong judgment?
You shall know them by their fruits, but if you can't make a right judgment between the works of GOD from the works of the "wrong father"...that isn't a problem with GOD, it is a problem in us...
Whatever is lovely?
Remember it...and the PEACE of GOD which surpasses ALL UNDERSTANDING will, will, will guard our hearts and our minds IN, IN, IN CHRIST JESUS...
What did YOU go out to see?
You see, those who had the law and all the workings of the law loved to hear John speak but they didn't want to do what John told them to do.
By doing that they prove that they needed to be washed...and this before the eyes of the common (unclean) folk!!!!
