Re: Why is the "Jezebel spirit" concept mostly in Charismatic, Pentecostal, WOF circl

the charismatic movement is nothing less than bondage to another set of "laws".
made up laws.

okay.
thanks for listening.
:rolleyes:
Eeeeeeeewwwwwww, so stinging, I almost felt that.

Once you wear this charismatic dead horse into the ground, what are you going to put the saddle on next?

I have a suggestion.............

The LUTHERAN CHURCH Missouri Synod........that would keep you busy for a while.

I'll even offer up a website for you to start on: Belief and Practice - The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod

Even better than that, I will offer you my services to help you do it.

Sincerely,

i offered my opinion on why i believe the made up demon or spirit called the Jezebel Spirit was made up by the Charismatic, Pentecostal, WOF circle.

i don't really care much at this point if you're offended or not.

Re: Why is the "Jezebel spirit" concept mostly in Charismatic, Pentecostal, WOF circl

Being a Christianm, claiming a "Jezebel spirit" Is not a good thing. Why would anyone want to be associated with something like that?

There
are two incidents in the life of Jezebel which characterize her and may define
what is meant by the Jezebel spirit. One trait is her obsessive passion for
domineering and controlling others, especially in the spiritual realm. When she
became queen, she began a relentless campaign to rid Israel of all evidences of
Jehovah worship. She ordered the extermination of all the prophets of the Lord
(1 Kings 18:4, 13) and replaced their
altars with those of Baal. Her strongest enemy was Elijah, who demanded a
contest on Mount Carmel between the powers of Israel’s God and the powers of
Jezebel and the priests of Baal (1 Kings 18). Of course, Jehovah won, but
despite hearing of the miraculous powers of Jehovah, Jezebel refused to repent
and swore on her gods that she would pursue Elijah relentlessly and take his
life. Her stubborn refusal to see and submit to the power of the living God
would lead her to a hideous end (2 Kings 9:29-37).

Re: Why is the "Jezebel spirit" concept mostly in Charismatic, Pentecostal, WOF circl

Let your women keep silence in the churches—This was a Jewish ordinance; women were not permitted to teach in the assemblies, or even to ask questions. The rabbins taught that "a woman should know nothing but the use of her distaff." And the sayings of Rabbi Eliezer, as delivered, Bammidbar Rabba, sec. 9, fol. 204, are both worthy of remark and of execration; they are these: ‏ישרפו דברי תורה ואל ימסרו לנשים‎ yisrephu dibrey torah veal yimsaru lenashim, "Let the words of the law be burned, rather than that they should be delivered to women." This was their condition till the time of the Gospel, when, according to the prediction of Joel, the Spirit of God was to be poured out on the women as well as the men, that they might prophesy, i.e. teach. And that they did prophesy or teach is evident from what the apostle says, 1 Corinthians 11:5, where he lays down rules to regulate this part of their conduct while ministering in the church.
But does not what the apostle says here contradict that statement, and show that the words in chap. 11 should be understood in another sense? For, here it is expressly said that they should keep silence in the church; for it was not permitted to a woman to speak. Both places seem perfectly consistent. It is evident from the context that the apostle refers here to asking questions, and what we call dictating in the assemblies. It was permitted to any man to ask questions, to object, altercate, attempt to refute, etc., in the synagogue; but this liberty was not allowed to any woman. St. Paul confirms this in reference also to the Christian Church; he orders them to keep silence; and, if they wished to learn any thing, let them inquire of their husbands at home; because it was perfectly indecorous for women to be contending with men in public assemblies, on points of doctrine, cases of conscience, etc. But this by no means intimated that when a woman received any particular influence from God to enable her to teach, that she was not to obey that influence; on the contrary, she was to obey it, and the apostle lays down directions in chap. 11 for regulating her personal appearance when thus employed. All that the apostle opposes here is their questioning, finding fault, disputing, etc., in the Christian Church, as the Jewish men were permitted to do in their synagogues; together with the attempts to usurp any authority over the man, by setting up their judgment in opposition to them; for the apostle has in view, especially, acts of disobedience, arrogance, etc., of which no woman would be guilty who was under the influence of the Spirit of God.
But—to be under obedience, as also saith the law—This is a reference to Genesis 3:16: Thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee. From this it is evident that it was the disorderly and disobedient that the apostle had in view; and not any of those on whom God had poured out his Spirit.

Angela is right. You are wrong. You're teaching LCMS doctrine.

1 Corinthians 14:34-40 (KJV)
[SUP]34 [/SUP]Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law.

V36 is separate context, not connected to 34&35.

The subject of verse 34 and 35 is women asking questions while learning from their teachers. Nothing is in the context about preaching, teaching or anything else. It's unfortunate that people quote their favorite verses without reading them. It's as plain as the nose on your face.

So you can talk about Pentecostals and charismatics all day long in your thread, http://christianchat.com/bible-disc...frangipane-dominionist-spiritual-warfare.html picking out the loonies & stereotyping all the others as being just like them, then flip the other way and act pious?

You don't care if anybody's offended or not. You never have. You don't care if a single Pentecostal or charismatic is offended, or insulted, or hurt to the core. You don't care. You have no empathy,no mercy. You have no compassion. You don't care. That's why it's so easy to pull something out of another's thread and slice it to pieces. You don't care.

Instead of doing what a Christian would do, such as trying to win them over to the Lord, you specialize in destruction of character.

Do a search for LCMS liturgy, and read the section about absolution of sins.

Re: Why is the &quot;Jezebel spirit&quot; concept mostly in Charismatic, Pentecostal, WOF circl

UMMM How do you know it was that demon by that name?
He told me his name 3 times in a row, in a goat like voice.
How do you know that the demon was telling you the truth?


How can one demon possess so many at one time?
Because there are many demons which have the same name.

UMM Where does the Bible say that? Chapter and verse please.



I can't say you weren't but there are parts of this which is a delusion.
That is your opinion and I can't blame you for it. Mental illness is real. I have been in charge of millions of dollars worth in projects for 13 years. I was a scoutmaster for five years and no one in my troop or family or friends thinks I am delusional. This is your way of dealing with things you think don't understand and believe do not exist.
I didn't say you had a mental illness. Many people believe delusions. It can be used that why but not always. Within the context of the Bible it does NOT mean mental illness. It also means to be tricked or deceived.



I can't say you weren't but there are parts of this which is a delusion. You and thousands of others can not be possessed by the very same spirit. Angles and demons are all limited by their bodies. They have spiritual bodies but they still have limitations. They can only be one place at one time,not many places at the same time.
Again, you are making an assumption that only one demon exists per name. My name is Dan, do you think all other people named Dan are me? Of course not. Dan is a common name. Baphomet is a common demon in the occult.
UMM There may be many people named Dan but your middle and surname defines which Dan one is talking about. Again how do you know that there are many demons by the name. The Bible DOES NOT say one way or the other. The description of that demon is almost always the same. So why would it be a different one?

----------

Ok, this is an EXTREMELY difficult passage. I've been reading scholars, Greek and trying to decide if this is universal or not.

In the first place, Paul is writing this letter to the church in Corinth. Not ALL the churches. But apparently in many towns, there was no large church, but rather many small "house groups". Therefore, Paul is likely talking to "all" the churches in the area of Corinth. Not ALL the churches in the world for ever and ever, Amen.

Here is one of the better explanations I found, although there are in fact 20 or 30 different ways this passage has been dealt with, some better than others.

"Paul thinks of prophecy primarily as revelation from God delivered through believers in the context of the church, where the prophecy may be evaluated (14:23-29). (b) Distinctions between “smaller house groups” and “church” may not have been all that intelligible to the first Christians, who commonly met in private homes. When the “church” in a city was large enough (as certainly in Jerusalem, Antioch, Ephesus, and possibly Corinth) to overflow the largest private accommodation, it must have been rather difficult, once opposition was established, to find a public venue large enough to accommodate all the believers of that city; i.e., the house groups in such instances constituted the assembly of the church. (c) The language of 11:16 (“If anyone wants to be contentious about this, we have no other practice—nor do the churches of God.”) seems to suggest a church concern, not merely the concern of private or small-group piety. The “we”/”church of God” parallel either means that Paul has never allowed the practice, and the churches have followed his lead; or that Paul and the church in Ephesus (from which he is writing) constitute the “we” that have not followed the practice, and again the other churches have adopted the same stance. Either way, when Paul adopts the same tone elsewhere (see especially 14:33b, 36), he is talking about conduct in an assembly. (d) The immediately succeeding verses (11:17-34) are certainly devoted to an ordinance designed for the assembly. (e) If someone points out that 11:2-16, unlike 14:33b-36, does not include the phrase “in the church,” it must also be observed that 11:2-16 does not restrict the venue to the private home or small group. (f) Whether the restriction in 11:2-16 requires some kind of hat or a distinctive coiffure, it becomes faintly ridiculous in proportion to the degree of privateness envisaged. If the restriction pertains to every venue except the church assembly, does this mean the Christian wife must postpone her private prayer until she has hurried to her chambers and donned her headpiece? The restriction is coherent only in a public setting. (g) Above all, the universality of the promise of Joel, cited at Pentecost, that the Holy Spirit would be poured out on men and women such that both would prophesy as constituent members of the community of the new covenant, seems somehow less than transparent if the women may display their inheritance only outside the gathered messianic community."

https://bible.org/seriespage/silent-churches-role-women-1-corinthians-1433b-36

Again, context is everything. Either there is a big contradiction in 1 Corinthians about what women are allowed to do, or there is another, more rational explanation. Considering both Jesus and Paul allowed women to minister, it seems unlikely that Paul was contradicting himself with a complete prohibition of all women speaking for all time.

Another good discussion is that in the Greek, the letter eta η, is found in the earliest manuscripts, and in other places in 1 Corinthians. This can be an interjection, which means "nonsense". Paul could have been quoting someone who said women are to keep quiet in all the churches, then he interjects "nonsense" with the letter eta, and then continues to explain that it is order and decency that is the point, and how he is rejecting the idea that women should be silenced.

"[SUP]36 [/SUP]Or was it from you that the word of God came? Or are you the only ones it has reached? [SUP]37 [/SUP]If anyone thinks that he is a prophet, or spiritual, he should acknowledge that the things I am writing to you are a command of the Lord. [SUP]38 [/SUP]If anyone does not recognize this, he is not recognized. [SUP]39 [/SUP]So, my brothers, earnestly desire to prophesy, and do not forbid speaking in tongues. [SUP]40 [/SUP]But all things should be done decently and in order." 1 Cor. 14:36-40

As for the "order of creation", man and women were created as equals. Whether Adam was created first means nothing, unless you are still following the ancient laws of primogeniture. In that case, the first born gets everything, - land, title and inheritance. However, since Adam and Eve were created, not born, and that principle is no longer used, Adam does not retain some kind of imaginary "authority" because he was created first. Of course, you might rightfully bring up 1 Tim. 2:13, but in content, it reads like this:

"For Adam was formed first, then Eve; [SUP]14 [/SUP]and Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and became a transgressor. [SUP]15 [/SUP]Yet she will be saved through childbearing—if they continue in faith and love and holiness, with self-control." 1 Tim. 2:13-15

Verse 15 also seems like a contradiction to the entire gospel. Women are saved by believing and following Christ. And many women did not marry, or have children. Unlikely they were not saved. In fact, the "she" in verse 15 may likely refer back to Eve, who bore the son and the line which led to Abraham, David and eventually Christ, who saved us all.

In fact, the fall is really the point where God assigns roles. As Christians, Christ has redeemed us from the fall, and that means that we should be treating one another according to Gal 3:28, which I will quote again.

"There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus." Gal. 3:28

At any rate, this is a very difficult passage, and if I am proved wrong, I will concede the point. However, the straight forward reading is not always the right one. Too many wrong doctrines have been formed by not looking at the context of the passage, the chapter and the book. Paul gives women the right to pray and prophesy in church in 1 Cor. 11. Does he take it away forever only 3 chapters later? I doubt it!

Re: Why is the &quot;Jezebel spirit&quot; concept mostly in Charismatic, Pentecostal, WOF circl

How do you know that the demon was telling you the truth?
I have no idea if he told the truth or not. All I can tell you is what happened. I was chatting online with a friend and told her I think I have a demon issue. She said "Don't say it's name." but before I could type back to her that I did not know it's name, it said it in a loud, clear and unmistakable goat or sheep like voice, "baphomet, baphomet, baphomet".

As I went thru deliverance much later, God showed me the curses placed on me when I was a baby in the form of a vision. In the vision I saw my body with what looked like 24 tattoos or other markings all over me. Among them, I saw three baphomets, which looked like a five pointed star with a circle around it. So it all made sense.

UMM Where does the Bible say that? Chapter and verse please.
The bible does not mention a great deal about demonic names. The bible does not mention America, yet here we are. Lack of proof is not proof.

However, we do see Jesus asking a demon "What is your name?" and the demon replies "Legion.." in Mark 5:8. We can assume from this that all demons have names. Legion does not give a middle name or surname or any other name.


UMM There may be many people named Dan but your middle and surname defines which Dan one is talking about. Again how do you know that there are many demons by the name. The Bible DOES NOT say one way or the other. The description of that demon is almost always the same. So why would it be a different one?

I don't understand why you feel demons have unique names. Nothing in scripture suggests this. No one in deliverance circles would agree with you either. If you want to believe that, it is fine but there is no proof or reason for it. In deliverance it is common to find demons with names like fear, depression, hate, etc, over and over.

This is just starting to seem umm...eh I'll not use an adjective.

Ok so first it's pointed out that it was written to ONE specific church for one specific issue.
But then it's pointed out that it mentions "as in all the churches" and "churches".
So then it's argued that it's to churches in the region.

So all churches in that region all had the same specific problem?
It just seems to be grasping at straws to say at first.it's only to ONE church..but then be
like ..well ummm no it's to churches in that area.

Nothing in the texts indicates any of that.
1 Tim 2 clarifies and shows all of this kind of stuff appeals to the order of creation, not region or culture.
