Do at least some Christians have the indwelling Holy Spirit and if so does demons, devil or some other evil beings also dwell in these people?

Paul himself had evil present with him, Romans 7:21, never claimed to be sinless, Romans 3:9 and even outright stated he had a messenger of Satan in his own flesh, 2 Cor. 12:7, inclusive of temptation in his flesh, Gal. 4:14. Paul also never exempted himself from any Word of God, as most are prone to do today.

It really shouldn't be all that hard to figure out, even without scriptures, that we are tempted often, and internally, in effect blindsided from out of nowhere, and not from our own minds, but in mind nevertheless.

These are not hard observations by either scripture or by experience. We ALL have an evil conscience.

And we ALL have adversaries that are unseen. This really should be common knowledge among believers, not this lying "I am exempt" nonsense that most carry. It's really not even them making such statements. They are statements under the influences.

God bound everyone to disobedience...Romans 11:32 and that disobedience is an unseen spiritual adversary, Eph. 2:2

These are, in essence the very same TWO VESSELS that Paul writes of in Romans 9, in ONE LUMP Paul termed "me."

I am still waiting on you to find on NT translation done by a group of scholars which has Mark 4:13-20 using people.

Click to expand...

It was your used translation that used the term "some people." That doesn't exist in the KJV or other translations.

ALL parables consist of 3 parties: God/people and the devil

The parable is The Word. Luke 8:11

Most often these terms are rightfully stated as "these" and "they. No one is exempt from Mark 4:15 OR the remaining parts of the parables because ---> ALL people are God's children bound with our adversaries in our flesh. It's also the identical principle spoken of by Paul in Gal. 4:21-29, and many other places throughout the scriptures.

God does really want people to understand, but likewise the devils will never understand and to them, they will neither understand and they will resist, obfuscate, disobey every single time.

Since in the end there will be no harm, no foul to people, it all works out and we will have served His Purposes for us in these events of our lives.

I think you have a fundamental misunderstanding about "designations."

It's possible for one group to be designated in more than one way under more than one governmental dispensation.

The State Department can designate a group a "terrorist organization" for their purposes.

For the military, an organization designated a "terrorist organization" by the State Department puts them in the "unprivileged belligerent" category for the purposes of the Law of Armed Conflict.

So, Al Qaeda is a terrorist organization and because of that designation, the members of Al Qaeda are "unprivileged belligerents" under the LOAC.

I think you possibly explained the wrong distinction, one that is not being questioned.

Rosie O’Donnell’s hatred of President Donald Trump led her therapist to recently plead with her to go two days without posting anything about the president on social media; O’Donnell, according to a Washington Post profile on Saturday, only lasted “a few hours” before she was compelled to post about Trump again.

The comic’s “fixation” on the president, as WaPo put it, has also become a concern for her longtime friends. One of those friends, Jeanne Kopetic, insisted O’Donnell has “got to disconnect” from following the news, because she is so consumed by what Trump does.

Peace in Christ.

Isa 29:18 KJV
(18) And in that day shall the deaf hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity, and out of darkness.

The earth became without form….without the form of Christ….and void….void of the knowledge of the glory of God.

His people (who are attending man-based churches) are not currently shining the glory light of the Lord to the outside people of this earth who are sitting in deep darkness. They are "deaf" as they do not hear the Word of Truth from their preachers. The glory of God does not currently appear over His people who are void of His glory…..and so the entire earth is covered with a deep spiritual darkness. The people of the outside world are "blind" in the deep darkness where there is no light to be seen.

We are to manifest the life of Christ (the light) to their eyes….but right now, His view (visage) is being marred so that they cannot “see” Him through us. Isaiah 52:14 . The “blind” cannot see Him.

Gen 1:1-3
(1) In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
(2) And the earth was (Hebrew: hayah = to become) without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
(3) And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

Darkness was upon the faces (plural) of the deep. Darkness covers the earth and thick darkness the people of this earth. The people of the outside world who are in darkness do not “see” Him as His people are not manifesting His light and glory to them. Darkness is upon their faces because of the lack of the light of Christ in His people.

We are to “arise” and depart from out of the dead man-based churches where they are not shining His light to the people of the outside world who are in deep darkness. The glory of the LORD does not rise upon them.

We can then “shine” and the glory of the LORD will rise upon us so that the people in the deep darkness can see and come to His light shining through us. The “blind” shall then “see” and be saved.

Isa 60:1-3 KJV
(1) Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee.
(2) For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.
(3) And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising.

We are to “awake” out of our “sleep” and arise OUT OF the dead ones (the dead man-based churches who are all “asleep” and are not shining His light) and Christ shall give you light. We become His children of light to this dark world so that they may “see” Him through us. We are then made the light of this world …a city on a hill that cannot then be hid from them….in Him.

Eph 5:14
(14) Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from (out of) the dead (dead ones), and Christ shall give thee light.

The Spirit of God moves upon the FACES (plural) of the waters (people). We all, with OPEN FACE, behold as in a mirror the glory of the Lord. We shine forth His glory to the darkened faces of the people of this world. The “blind” shall then “see.” Let there be light.

2Co 3:17-18 KJV
(17) Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
(18) But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.

We are to shine the light of the knowledge of the glory of God to the people of this darkened world in the face of Jesus Christ that our “open faces” (to the world) will reflect as in a mirror.

2Co 4:6
(6) For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

Whenever He shall appear (in our mortal bodies), then we shall appear with Him in glory (to the believing people of the outside world).

He shall “appear” to the eyes of those who are chosen among the people of the world to “see” Him….WHENEVER He appears.

Col 3:4
(4) When (WHENEVER) Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.

“in that NIGHT”…in the deep darkness….one person of the outside world shall “see” Him as He “appears” (shines) to him or her and will be “taken”….that is, RECEIVED unto Him. He “appears” …shines…through us to them. "Whenever Christ shall appear" to those who will "see" Him shine/appear through us, we shall appear with Him in glory. The chosen people of the outside world who are "in the night" shall see Him and will believe and praise God.

The “other” will be left as Christ did not “appear” to them.

Luk 17:34-37
(34) I tell you, in that night there shall be two in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.
(35) Two shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
(36) Two shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

Wherever the body…the living body of Christ (whom we manifest) is, there the eagles (who SEE the living body) shall be gathered together. They will come to His life that manifests through us to them. They will come to our light.

(37) And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body (soma = sound body) is, thither will the eagles be gathered together.

To exploit the situation for political purposes. I see no reason to treat it otherwise.

This language is full of hate and division. It comes from the same mentality as when people call Trump supporters morons or deplorables. To call Trumps admin some sort of dumb loyalist without their own minds to know what is going on is just dimissing people are idiots.

Everything you say is also done by the Left and even worse as far as headlines. They have actually been caught for doctoring headlines to lie about Trump. Like I said its the pot calling the kettle black. I suggest you not throw stones as its only going to reflect badly on those throwing them.

No I mean the crime, corruption and fruad committed by the Dems and their agencies. It will all come out. Its already coming out. Thats why I say be careful about throwing stones. Its not going to be good.

The question will be where was all this moral outrage in regards to all this corruption and fruad and abuse. Why did they keep it quiet. What were they hiding.

Its usually when someone makes a big noise about another doing wrong to the point where its constant. Then usually this is a sign that they are diverting attention away from themselves. So the more fixated the elites were on Trump the more we can say they were doing the same and much worse.

So who are we to trust. The whole system is broken.

I disagree. You see what you get. I fear the quiet ones, the wolves posing as sheep. The smiling assassins. They are the truely evil ones to fear. Like I said its all coming out.

For example everyone knows about Trumps fraud. Actually the DOJ had to bring up antiquated rulings and practically change careers to just make the charges stick. It was a crazy bending of the law and no one has been treated with such bias.

Anyway we know, Trump accepted it and the people still supported him as a president and they were not dumb or diplorable for doing so. They seen through the Dems gas lighting the nation and their identity politics.

But what is coming out with the fraud in Waltz's state makes Trumps fraud child play. It is going to be the biggest fraud scandel in US history. It also looks like other Dem States who acted as sanctuary States are going to have big fraud issues as well and they are refusing to hand over their books. They have something to hide.

So this could blow whatever Trump did out of the water.

Heres the thing. It looks like all of this was happening while Waltz was being nominated for VP. This shows how far out of touch they were. Not just that they were hounding Trump for his small acts and Waltz was one of the biggest mouths.

So it was hidden. So when people complain about Trumps little indiscretions they sort of can't take seriously a side that has domne much worse but also hid it and pretended they were doing the right thing. People hate that.

I never claimed Trump loyalists are idiots or mindlessly doing Trump’s bidding. No , they are willfully participating and enjoying the benefits of their positions, at least for now. He will discard each and every one of them right under the bus should any of their actions (that he directly asked of them) reflect badly on him.

As far as the corruption of those opposing Trump, it’s been “coming out” for years and all amounts to distracting headlines and no substance. It’s hard to take each new revelation of corruption seriously at this point.

Don't conflate literal vs spiritual. The promise God made to Abraham was literal descendants that will be like the stars in the sky. That is a biological promise.

Judge temporarily blocks Justice Department’s use of evidence in dismissed Comey case​

The judge’s order sets up a fast-moving emergency court proceeding over this week that could exclude key pieces of evidence from any future proceeding against Comey, potentially limiting what prosecutors may present to a grand jury after his previous case was dismissed for different reasons.

The development follows a court challenge from Comey’s friend and former lawyer Dan Richman, who went to court after learning federal investigators may have used unauthorized access to his digital communications to prosecute Comey.

“The Court concludes that Petitioner Richman is likely to succeed on the merits of his claim that the Government has violated his Fourth Amendment right against unreasonable searches and seizures by retaining a complete copy of all files on his personal computer (an ‘image’ of the computer) and searching that image without a warrant,” DC District Court Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly wrote in a four-page ruling.

This is no better an explanation than what has been presented before and none every can explain the emergence of life. Or the emergence of anything from nothing and it does not matter how far you want to take the beginning back to.

THis is the fundemental issue that keeps coming up again and again and I think the fallacy of this explanation is being exposed more and more as we actually look deeper into the complexity and design of life.

Now we are at a point where we actually have to explain life. Not the inanimate world but the living and breathing life with agency and free will and conscious experiences of the beyond.

It cannot all be explained by non life creating life. Or combinations of inanimate objects somehow rubbing together to create life like some epiphenomena of consciousness.

This is completely an inadequate explanation and material science will never be able to account for life. Or existence for that matter. In fact I think the more we go on the more it will become aparent that there is something more alive or conscious in the very fabric of existence beyond what naturalism can possibly account for.

You continue with your straw man. No one has made the argument that it is ok to take Gods name in vain. Secondly your argument is one of silence which is quite the fallacy. You argument is that since the commandment to not take Gods name in vain (which you are using for drama effect) does not appear in Genesis but people did not take His name in vain then all other commandments including the 4th commandment are equally “present”.

AFter a long string of nonsense one "could" come up with a corrupted response such as that with an AI totally devoid of reality and absolutely not reproducible by anyone else in a simple direct query. No doubt.

Click to expand...

Indeed, but that’s not what you’re seeing in the example I showed you. No corrupted message or other prompt hacking technique was used to get Grok to declare a non-existent Pope canonized Gregory XVII. AIs suffer from a problem called hallucination, and that’s why all major AIs include a warning that they can make mistakes - a warning message you seem to be ignoring in attempting to use AI as an infallible source.

Hallucination is a real issue, and as someone who has entered the world of AI consulting in a professional capacity as an annex to my existing systems engineering business, and who has written over 50 AI-based applications, not only this, but also the fact that minor differences in wording which would seem inconsequential to the human user, can substantially alter the output of the question.

Also, your argument presupposes another technical inaccuracy, that AI behavior is deterministic (on all useful LLMs, its not, rather, a variable called temperature is used, and if this is set to a non-zero value, which it normally is (AIs with a temperature of zero it turns out aren’t particularly useful or interesting) the result being the same input prompt will by default produce different output.

So even if you were to run ask the same question on multiple AIs a multiple number of times, you still would not have a useful proof of whatever point you were trying to make - AI is, by itself, not reliable.

Now, the correct course of action, and there is a correct course of action, is to ask the AI what sources it used to make the statement you’re trying to use in an argument, examine those sources to make sure they say what the AI thinks they said, and if so, include them directly. In this manner one can avoid the embarrassment of the attorneys who recently in a federal case made the mistake of trusting one of the most reliable AIs not to generate spurious precedents - and it let them down, and the Federal judge was most displeased.

All uses of AI by itself as a direct source are appeals to an unqualified authority, in the same way that college professors have rightly regarded most or all of Wikipedia as an unreliable authority - an AI prove nothing other than the contents of their output. However, like Wikipedia, they can be used to find sources which are reliable and can be quoted. Although even in this case I would warn you are in for some frustration; if the information comes from their pretraining data, they are often unable to name the exact source (in this case the solution is to ask them to find external validation for their claim).

Now that I’ve explained the theoretical reasons why your argument is unreliable, take a look at what I got when I asked a freshly initialized ChatGPT 5.1 the very question you proposed:



I would assume that answer does not correspond with what you were expecting based on the content of your posts? Of course, AI can make mistakes, although our Lutheran friends @MarkRohfrietsch @ViaCrucis @Ain't Zwinglian and others might well agree with chatGPT’s answer based on how denomination is defined (which I warned you in a previous post is an ambiguous term) and how sola scriptura is defined (presumably chatGPT 5.1 based its decision on Martin Luther’s historical definition of Sola Scriptura, which would incline towards a selection limited to Lutheran and Calvinist churches - but only Calvinist churches with a unified administration would qualify, whatever defines an administration - another ambiguous term. At any rate, within certain definitions of the ambigous parameters, I don’t see that chatGPT is in error.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene says she will resign from Congress in January​

"Standing up for American women who were raped at 14, trafficked and used by rich powerful men, should not result in me being called a traitor and threatened by the President of the United States, whom I fought for," she said. Greene, who has served in the House since 2021, came under attack from Trump last week, when the president announced that he was removing his endorsement of Greene's reelection campaign after she broke party rank and signed onto a discharge petition forcing a vote to order the Department of Justice to release its full Epstein files -- another issue that Greene has come to champion from the campaign trail to Capitol Hill in recent years.

Marjorie Taylor Greene Says Trump Was ‘Furious with Me’ Over Epstein Files on Phone Call​

"He was extremely angry at me," the Georgia Republican told '60 Minutes' in a preview of her first national interview since announcing plans to resign​

When Stahl further asked Greene to describe what Trump said, she paused. “He said that it was going to hurt people,” Greene said.

In November, Trump said Greene has “lost her way” and he also withdrew his endorsement of her. He called her a “traitor” the day after she said she was “being contacted by private security firms with warnings for my safety as a hot bed of threats against me are being fueled and egged on by the most powerful man in the world.”

DamianWarS said:

You’re assuming the one thing Paul is arguing against—that the New Covenant simply moves the Ten Commandments from stone to heart. But Hebrews 8 and 2 Corinthians 3 never say that.

Hebrews 8: The covenant is replaced, not recopied. The old covenant is obsolete (v.13). If the 10 were the eternal law of the New Covenant, Hebrews would say so. It doesn’t.

2 Corinthians 3: The law written on stone = “ministry of death… fading away.” That is the Ten Commandments. Paul doesn’t separate “ministration” from “content”—the content engraved on stone is what condemned.

The veil isn’t what passed away; the covenant mediated by Moses did. Writing God’s law on the heart doesn’t prove the 10 remain unchanged. If that logic were consistent, we’d still be required to keep feasts, food laws, and penalties God also “spoke and wrote" even at presented at the exact same time as the 10.

The NT’s actual contrast is: Old Covenant: external, written, condemning New Covenant: Spirit-driven, internal, life-giving
Not “same law, new delivery system.”

And Deut 4:13, Exod 34:28, and Deut 5:2–3 all explicitly tie the Ten Commandments to the Sinai covenant, not to creation or the New Covenant. So the issue isn’t “Paul contradicting God.” It’s that this interpretation you're defending contradicts Paul, Hebrews, and the covenant language of the OT itsel

Trump wanders off during walk with Japanese Prime Minister​

Donald Trump appeared to wander off while being given a tour by new Japanese prime minister Sanae Takaichi.
During a welcome ceremony, the new leader of Japan guided the president around a room filled with troops and dignitaries.
At one point, Trump saluted the US and Japanese flags and then kept walking, leaving Takaichi behind to bow to the flags alone. On two other occasions, she had to direct him where to walk.
During the trip to Asia, Trump confirmed that he’d had an MRI during a visit to Walter Reed Medical Center but would not disclose the reason.

WASHINGTON, DC: President Donald Trump faced online mockery as he wandered away before signing executive orders and was guided back on Wednesday, April 2.
