Jesus cast out evil spirits while on the earth. I don't understand how you said the above.

Also, there are many cases of demonic possession (evil spirits), especially in countries in Africa where there are still witch doctors. Also in India where the Hindus believe in millions of gods and worship idols.

Pastors and missionaries (not necessarily Pentecostal) have seen cases of demonic possession.


And you are believing pro-Hamas propaganda. Most of the media are slanted towards that type of reporting.

Our Ambassador to Israel has been in Gaza, as well as a few others that try to get the real story. It's a known fact that Hamas was stealing the aid when the UN was handling the distribution of food and supplies. Hamas used the aid for themselves and also sold it on the Black Market to help fund their war.

The Ambassador said Hamas would sell ten pounds of sugar for two hundred dollars!

This brief video is from French news.... showing aid which is supposed to be free being sold.


Watch this international news report....Gazans wanting to be free of Hamas (the "We want to live" movement). Several Gazans interviewed. Hamas tortures and kills them. Hamas goes into hospitals and breaks the legs of patients!

Hamas's atrocities do not excuse Israeli slaughter. Using Hamas to blame for the wickedness in Gaza is a convenient decoy for those backing the Israeli government.
Large amounts of Israeli citizens are opposed to their governments policies and behaviours toward the Palestinians.

Have you ever wondered where Israel would stand if the backing of Mr Trump and the military were not there?
.....and why are they backed by the US? You can rest assured it's because the majority of American Evangelicals who voted him in believe the chosen people myth. They behave as if Jesus never existed.

@pandaflower

We have done this subject to death over the past 6 weeks and no-one has provided the slightest of proof.
Go to a very late-night bar, the kind with weird people in it, the mohawk hair, metal head, sunken eye socket people who don't come out in the daytime. Go in there and say Jesus to them and stand back. Yes, I've been to those places as a Christian, in ministry. Demon's will scream at you. They recognize the Holy Spirit, that you can't prove exists either, but as James says, demon's know God and tremble.

Are you speaking from experience? Do you take anything hallucinogenic while you're at this bar?

Many have imagined a thing...soon all will be revealed!
That's true. Is you name in the Book of life? Revelation 13:8 - and all those who live on the earth will worship the beast, everyone whose name has not been written since the foundation of the world in the book of life belonging to the Lamb who was killed.

It's a war. It's a war that Hamas started.
Have you forgotten Deb, 'what you have done to the least, you have done it to me'....Jesus.
And I guess that means what you back and approve.

Impossible to prove via the Word but in the minds of those who think they have seen them?

Hell is simply the grave, though the language used to describe it in the Bible often contains some of the most severe and vivid metaphors.

You may not believe in the literal existence of eternal worms, but the imagery conveys one of the strongest warnings in all of Scripture.

Mark 9:48“Where their worm does not die and the fire is not quenched.”

The wisest of teachers, and Christ, the greatest of all often used deliberate exaggeration as a powerful rhetorical tool. His purpose was to stir a deep sense of fear and urgency in his audience, prompting a sincere desire to avoid being left in the grave forever!
The Hinom valley or gehenna was the trash pit in Israel. Where everyone threw garbage.
Occasionally it would be lit on fire with lamp oil. A slow smoldering fire due to the moisture content. The poor were also usually placed there instead of buried.

The "worm" is the maggots that would grow there and wild dogs would try to eat the fly larvae but get burned in the process and howl.

It's a vivid word picture said in poetic fashion. Not exactly pleasant. And of course it's as bad as it's made out to be. You don't want to be there....dead or alive.

Palestinians do not think you way you think. It is a culture of killing with demonic overtures that Hamas uses to torture and kill their own people and Jews, and you.

Yes the perfect visual for first audience!

Seen for miles
The "worm" is the maggots that would grow there and wild dogs would try to eat the fly larvae but get burned in the process and howl.
Isaiah 66:24 "And they shall go out and look on the dead bodies of the men who have rebelled against me. For their worm shall not die, their fire shall not be quenched, and they shall be an abhorrence to all flesh.

The Elect grasp the beauty and symbolism of God's language, yet they also fear the literal events it foretells

I posted a video in this thread where Gazans that are against Hamas say they are tortured and killed. They say Hamas enters hospitals and breaks the legs of patients!

One Gazan man said if Hamas treats Gazans that way, he can imagine what they treat the Jews like.

'What you have done to the least...' Jesus is talking to you and me.

Under Torah law....
Israel does not make weapons for sale. They can and do design and build defensive munitions....for sale. (Missile defense and etc).

All their munitions are made elsewhere and purchased. The pagers were unique....it sucked to be hamas that day.

The Palestinians are nothing more than a people used as a propaganda tool owned by Iran. Their living conditions are exclusively their fault...not Israel's. They have abused every gift and used it to wage war against Israel since the 60's.
They are a worthless people. Dedicated to a lying prophet. The few who wake up and leave make decent lives for themselves.

Nobody in any nation will take them in. Not even the nations of their ancestry. (None are originally from there despite claims)

The pictures from the 50's of exiled Palestinians are fakes....proven fakes. There was a handful of people. But only just barely that. (Under 100) who willingly moved out rather than be under Jewish governance.
But they didn't move to Egypt because of crimes they committed there. Didn't move to Jordan or Syria for the Same reason.
So they stayed and became a political football....generations of living as a political football. And providing every vice to destabilize Israel. Prostitutes, narcotics, gambling, and etc....Syria is the amphetamine capital of the world currently. Yet Israel remains.

Genesis 16:12 speaks of Ishmael, who was not the chosen seed, but still under God's care. Likewise, a time of refining will come for all in the Middle East, and events will unfold that are beyond human comprehension.

Isaiah 66:24 "And they shall go out and look on the dead bodies of the men who have rebelled against me. For their worm shall not die, their fire shall not be quenched, and they shall be an abhorrence to all flesh.

My sister let some of her "friends" talk her into going to a party where they were messing around with a Ouija board. She says they contacted some entity claiming to be the shade of a murdered reporter. That frightened the spit out of her. But it scared her straight. She made some new friends who led her to Christ.
Can we at least agree that using a Ouija board is at best stupid, and at worst, a pathway to the demonic?

I guess that's a good reason to treat them despicably and wipe them out?
Have you ever heard of a sinful race called humanity?

Did you know that the treasure of eternity was poured out in one gift in Jesus sojourn....just so we could get a view of the God who felt sufficiently tender towards fallen, faulty, self important, up themselves, blaming, lying, murdering, holier than thou people?
