God sometimes uses a giant fish to take you where you don’t necessarily want to go but exactly where God needs you to be. Metaphorically the giant fish has come in many different forms within the testimonies of Christians. Peter was warned by Jesus of this very truth, John 21:18-19 English...

A possession is rare and the person is not in control of themselves at all. According to examples in scripture not only could they cause sickness or disability but they were quite strong and it must of been quite obvious by their actions as people without question knew who had a demon. Today...

It does not mean they are possessed. They need medical and psychological help.

Yes. I want to hear the arguments one would make to favor or disagree with his theology. So if it is not backed by the Word then what? Either we can know the truth or not. The only truth we can agree on shouldn't just be the death and resurrection of Jesus. That is one that matters but...

Okay, no problem.

You definitely cried out to the right person. Jesus knows a lot about suffering. He doesn't negate the fact that we will suffer in life if not more for those who follow Him. But He encourages us with victory to come and strength for the present. For the present we are promised joy, peace...

I have found it very helpful to know more about the physical because we are made up as triune beings. Spiritual, physical and mental. All 3 must be addressed because often all 3 are affected.

New in the science field which not too long ago we were still drilling into peoples brains or shock therapy. But yes unfortunately spiritual abuse has been going on since the early church as to why many of the New Testament letters address false teachers and their harm.

Your not offensive, I respect your opinion. As a layman I must rely on what I have. The only scholarly access I have are online debates that have been recorded or scholarly books I read. I suppose laid back is subjective. Maybe just respectful. The psychology field of spiritual abuse is only...

I have a real similar story with chronic pain

I wouldn't assume to know what page were on until I got to know your point of view better. I was sharing my thoughts about the ministries F F Bosworth was involved in. Very true. Nothing new but truth has to be shared to combat what is really not the gospel. I once thought the same until...

It was you who “coped out” I was agreeing with you. Instead of addressing my argument, you posted scripture to call me a fool and saying not to speak to me.

1 Corinthians 12:10-11 English Standard Version 10 to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another the ability to distinguish between spirits, to another various kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. 11 All these are empowered by one and the same...

Yes. Legalism, bondage, temple money changers, and a long list of people who have been hurt by these teachings. A new term has been established called PCS (Post Charasmatic Stress). Groups are popping up with all sorts of testimony and help to help people overcome and heal from such spiritual...

I'll try again. These two pronouns, as well as the word angel, or messenger, prove that Paul’s “thorn” was, as he himself plainly shows, a satanic personality and not a disease. We could not use the personal pronouns he or him when speaking of ophthalmia, or any other disease, because there is...

Christian Ad Hominem

I'm just quoting his book. I understand that it may lose someone.

Idk about carting around but whatever was in the flesh was put there by a messenger of Satan. He is saying that disease has no messenger or gender. But there are other examples of named demons who are spirits of disease or disability.
