You are lacking in knowledge and understanding if you are disagreeing with what I have said in posts above.

Know that heresies are a work of the flesh (Galatians 5:19-21) and that therefore, your flesh might lead you to believe things that are not in agreement with the scriptures as a whole.

I read through all of the epistles once per week and through the gospels, Acts and Revelation once per month, and through the rest of the Bible at a slower rate.

So, I am always brushing up on doctrinal issues since the epistles primarily have to do with doctrine and theological issues.

i do it own my own.

i have read the Bible from cover to cover about 20 times.
i know what IT says . i know what IT does not say.

And I think that you have also entirely missed my point.

I would suggest that you read the entire Bible tonight so that you can get the message of the gospel in its whole context.

Because obviously, if anyone actually quotes from the Bible, they must be a false teacher.

And I think that you have also entirely missed my point.

i know your point.

you are saying in a roundabout way " if you are disagreeing with me, then you are disagreeing with Scripture"


your point is, if i was reading It correctly, i would agree with you.

so says every man-made religious person

My point was that quoting scriptures doesn't make anyone a false teacher.

That should be obvious.

Because, otherwise, anyone who even tries to teach someone from the holy scriptures would automatically be false.

Thus, your point of view condemns as false anyone who relates doctrine from the word of God.

And therefore, the only teachers who are true would be those who forsake the Bible for their own thinking.

Surely, you can see how foolish, such a thing, is.

doctrine is only true if context and word definition is applied.
just jumping around from verse to verse is invalid.

there are over 33,000 verses in the Bible.

one can mix and match and make it seem the Bible says anything they say it says.

just like you and any other false teachers do.

I beg to differ.

It is a platform for quite a few here who have a gift of teaching.

You are so right to correct me about posts that have addressed this problem. They are all valuable.

As for each of us personally handling the problem, that is quite a complicated subject.

I took in a woman diagnosed as bipolar, it was beyond my ability to handle. I think there is a possibility it was possession by demons rather than a physical impairment, I simply do not know.

She had grown up with a terrible fear that God would take her parents away in the rapture and she would be left alone. Each night she had a hard time sleeping, and would go check to see if her parents were still there. As an adult she said she was a Christian, but her explanations were more like understanding the power of the occult than knowing Christ as her savior. She had tantrums if I gave my attention to scripture instead of to her. I had her removed from my home as the only thing I was able to do to handle the situation.

Possession by demons happens when someone accepts sin as right for them. To see God as wanting evil for us seems a terrible way for a child to grow up.

so, now you jump to another verse to try to prove your non-existing point .

you see, one cannot take clips of what Jesus said and go " see, look here"

this is why you are false teacher. you attempt tp isolate verses and build theology around them.

you take the Gospel's as a whole, not chop them up into pieces.

Christians override the will of God in their lives often enough and go outside the protection

a striking similarity to scrambled eggs

well I found this thread received the typical responses this subject usually gets, that's all. it is true that sometimes there can be a demonic element when it comes to illnesses...we see this in scripture in some cases...but, as it seems you know, it is harmful to treat a person with an illness as though it was demonic...people have been killed that way.

what you describe regarding fear though, is a doorway for demons...they live off fear....my personal belief and understanding, is that if a person is not equipped to handle a situation, they should not handle it. in fact, it is always best to have at least 2 people in most situations. I also believe this is a truth battle and not a power battle. the devil is already defeated.

again though, please understand that the way the word possession is handled in many if not most cases, is not correct. the proper understanding, biblical understanding, is that the person possesses..or has the demon and not the other way around

I can refer you to teaching by Derek Prince for a better understanding on that.

we live in a fallen world and in Ephesians we learn that the devil works in this world, but we have the armor provided by God

No demon from hell,nor any power from black magic in league with Satan can CROSS THE BLOODLINE OF JESUS!
Satan however can ASK GOD'S PERMISSION TO TEST OUR FAITHFULNESS!
Illness is sometimes BC of sin in our life as a form of chaistisment .
NEVER can a true believer be possessed by Satan nor a demon!

Scripture says TO RESIST THE DEVIL and he will FLEE from you!
I'm safe standing in and on the word of God!

you do not have the gift of teaching

you have the gift (which is really not a gift) of confusing interpretations

I can say I have the gift of discernment then, in order to say the above and who are you to say otherwise

see how that goes?

smh

it is just nonsense to claim that if a person quotes scripture they must therefore be correct

I am not sure you will understand that either because I am coming to the conclusion, which is somewhat in your defense, that you have parted ways with sound understanding, either through accepting error or just plain being physically incapable of more.

and the obvious thing is you are also saying others with whom you disagree are therefore correct because they quote or teach from scripture
