What if I want to have sex with my neighbor's wife and I have faith that there's nothing wrong with it so long as I don't broadcast it to others with a "weak conscience." After all, Romans 14:14 says: "I know and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus that nothing is unclean in itself, but it is unclean for anyone who thinks it unclean." What would be wrong with that?
A weak conscience is not the same thing as a lack of conscience.

1 John 3:8

New International Version

8 The one who does what is sinful is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil’s work.

Has literally zip to do with what I said. Try again.

I do pray and i dont go looking for demons, and you along with others shouldnt dissmiss that demons can go looking for people.
No, demons do not go out looking for Christians. And just because someone has a struggle doesn't make them demon possessed. Get a grip.




Jesus talked about demons alot, Ive been praying all the time recently for people to quit smoking, im qualified to know how bad smoking is, what you should be doing is not jumping to conclusions.
Jesus talked about love a lot. Jesus talked about forgiveness a lot. What you should is continue to pray and leave the demons alone.



The other big reality is many people are not that well educated when it comes to demons. so perhaps instead of thinking that you know more than i do i would suggest maybe being polite and asking rather than informing, because its quite clear many people dont know what demons are capable of,, its also clear that people dont recognise a demon will tempt a person into smoking, and there will be a reason for that,
Were did you get this "education"? Sure not from the Bible.

This passage of Scripture accurately describes the OP's position.

2 Timothy
Chapter 4

1 I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;
2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.
3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

I read what de-emerald wrote and honestly I don't think he knows what he was looking at in this clip. He just picked something out of it that supported his argument without really knowing much else. :)
thankyou that was what i did. :)

I really dont want to get into an dispute with your self about demons, the last thing on this earth christians should do is argue over demons, they are our enemy,, its shame in my book that we should fall out over a disgreement about demons, as there not worth falling out over. God bless you and i pray you will see the light of this.

This isn't a mere disagreement about demons. You are pushing false doctrine and you need to be exposed so nobody else false into the trap you have chosen.

You don't need to pray that I see the light, I know exactly what the Bible says about demons. But since you are praying please pray for a wonderful friend of mine who has COVID and isn't doing well.
