I had some charismatic guy online try to cast out demons from me. These demons supposedly were depression and anxiety. However this guy only fueled my mental problems. He was also very dishonest. He goaded me into answering a question i didnt want to answer then he reported me to staff.
Thats an intriguing statement.Nope, as my concern is to make sure the Gospel is lived out and given out by me to lost sinners, and to bring maturity and training in instruction to the already saved!
.i dont need scripture to support what the poster i replied to said about himself as documented in his posts.You have no scripture that supports though that there are people gifted today by God to do sign gifts as the Apostles were! Nor any today receiving any additional revelations for today!
Not opinion, but an observation..i dont need scripture to support what the poster i replied to said about himself as documented in his posts.
Which are there for all to read...
He said himself he does not base what he is saying on scripture he bases it on his opinion..
Youve jumped in and answered a peice of text to some one else with a topic that has nothing to do with what i posts to THAT person .
Paul didnt ask for healing ..he asked for a tormenter to be removed from him .he said God sent it to buffet him to keep him from being too proud because of the level of revelation he had recieved .If God answered a request to heal by saying No, but that my Grace is sufficient, and your weakness will revel my power, as my power is perfected in your weakness. is that right for God to do? So paul was handed a raw deal?
so jesus sent no one else ?Paul was the last Apostle called by Jesus Himself...
Jesus never did call him as an apostle.Paul was the last Apostle called by Jesus Himself...
Are you doing it? How can you make a self-claim as a disciple?Then do so.. And stop sinning .repent.
Yes im doing it.Are you doing it? How can you make a self-claim as a disciple?
That is what Tom, Dick and Harry are doing, claiming to be apostles, saints, disciples, what not? If you shut your eyes and close your ears they may claim to be Jesus also!Yes im doing it.
Its quite easy to make a claim about oneself.
You take what oneself is doing and you say what it is.
Excuse me ?That is what Tom, Dick and Harry are doing, claiming to be apostles, saints, disciples, what not? If you shut your eyes and close your ears they may claim to be Jesus also!
Those were the words of Jesus. You don't care about them because they are coming in the way of your self-claims, right? What else are you? An angel?Excuse me ?
You asked me if i was a" disciple "of the lord JESUS
And you quoted a verse you consider to be a qualification.
This is not an accurate list non of those are requirements for the apostles after the resurrection.All Apostles had to either walk with Jesus, walk with one of His chosen Apostles, or seen the risen Lord, so non qualified to be such for today!
If God answered a request to heal by saying No, but that my Grace is sufficient, and your weakness will revel my power, as my power is perfected in your weakness. is that right for God to do? So paul was handed a raw deal?
Paul told Timothy to take some wine to help his stomach, did not sound like a divine healing to me, nor was paul healed of his ailment, but was given abundant grace to endure!
Much of the so called third world living under paganism and superstition, so really need to have the Gospel of Jesus preached to them in order to set them free from bondage to things in their minds!They weren't commanded to drink poison.
Society today lives under the doctrines of the enlightenment, where everything spiritual is distained. That's not just the existence of God, but angels, demons, gifts, and miracles etc.
That's why people, including Christians, are so cynical about spiritual gifts and deliverance from demons. You grow up under that unspiritual western paradigm, which you then imported into your bible studying.
In complete contrast, the third world has no trouble in understanding the scriptures regarding demons because their society lives with such things as a daily fact of life. Thankfully, the darkness of the "enlightenment" never reached that far to rob them of the ministry of deliverance.
In Jesus's time, it was much like the third world is today. People were completely aware of what demons did to destroy lives both mentally and physically, and regularly asked Jesus to cast them out, and heal them. Which he did all the time without questioning the veracity of their diagnosis.
My point being that there was no need to teach about demons as they were around just like the common cold.
The disciples had been casting them out from the beginning, long before Pentecost, therefore, as the demons were still around, driving them out would continue as before. It was one of the most basics of Christian ministries that all believers could and should do, even today.
That demons were still a problem to Christians is shown in various places.-
James4v7Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
Eph6v10Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might. 11Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil.
1Pet5v8Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.
1Cor10v20No, but I say that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons and not to God; and I do not want you to become sharers in demons.
No need to cast out demons from a saved person, but that person having mental issues can turn to the sacred scriptures and find relief for worry and doubts!I had some charismatic guy online try to cast out demons from me. These demons supposedly were depression and anxiety. However this guy only fueled my mental problems. He was also very dishonest. He goaded me into answering a question i didnt want to answer then he reported me to staff.
Strange that you would say that though, as Paul Himself saw Jesus as delivering all of the saved out from Kingdom of darkness into His own Kingdom of light, and no need for a deliverance ministry for them!I never for one moment said Paul's theology of the cross was demonic.
But every last thing Paul taught was the antithesis of your cessationism.
