As to the original question in this thread, I do not embarace anything that is not spoken to or named in scripture.
Not because I say all is bad, but my abuility to understand is limited to the scriptures and the understanding in Jesus given through the Holy Spirit.
I always wonder at why we need to give new names to what is already given in the name of Jesus in scriptures, someone creating a new way filled with info on what we are to do.
When scripture already does this.
Maby Im just cautious, but Ill stick with what scriptrue speaks to.
When it comes to demons residing in one, I look to the parable Jesus told about the house that was cleaned, it speaks to if one does not call Jesus to live in this house, that the demon will return with many more.
So this tells us that when Jesus resides in one, no demon can live there.
I do as well question the statement that God brings evil , sin.
I remember reading scripture where it spoke to this, saying God gives no streangth for sin, for He abhors evil.
I took this to say that God did not create sin or evil, that the angels who turned against Him became evil, sin by rejecting Him.
Scripture does say that God will reliece one to their own depravity though.
An interesting thought came to mind as I was recalling the scripture that said God gives no streangth for sin, one has to ask where evil gets its streangth, power?
It hit me then that this is why evil comes to steal , kill and destroy, for it is given no streangth, so it must take it from those that live.
Your thoughts on this? Or do I speak agaist scripture in any way?
God bless
