So I guess you are looking forward to the barbarity, even glad that it's going to occur?



Once Hamas is Dead, then the Palestians are no longer going to be used as human shields.
They know that Hamas is the anti-solution to peace in the Middle East.
Hamas has to go, so that Gaza can be resolved, and rebuilt.

You posted that comment initially when a very good member here asked you if you would protect your family.

So, while you were "asking Jesus what to do" .....Those who broke into your house and are harming your family are still doing it, while you are praying about it while hiding under the bed.

This is why i told you that the NT says of your response, that if you dont PROTECT your family, then you are worse then an unbeliever.
That's not a myth. @quietthinker

And the reason that Israel is going to completely take over Gaza, is because it was their's in 2004, and they gave it to the Palestinians, who then gave it to Hamas, who have been shooting rockets into Israel, from Gaza, for 20+ years.
So, that was your "Palestinan State" and they turned it into a Rocket Launcher to try to kill Israel.

Now, Hamas is going to die, and it can't happen a moment too soon, as this is good for the world, and not just for the Jews.
You have quite a story going there Behold, a story of blame and violence. It reveals HOW you understand God.

....and so you conflate the actions of Hamas with all the Palestinian people. James and John had a similar view when they wanted to torch the Samaritans....maybe even the Good Samaritan. You know Jesus' response. Have you thought of that. Have you considered by which Spirit you have arrived at your conclusions?

BTW,the light has shined under your bridge.
We see you
Yes, it has shined under my bridge but can you discern what is shining under yours?

The litmus test to the Sprit we have is determined by how we relate to those opposed to us. It matters not which children of Adam they are.

We aren't neighbors.

The light of Christ showed me who you are.
Using rhetoric from our faith doesn't obscure the truth of what lives in you.

A sad hobby.
The PeeWee Herman tactic is obvious. I know what I am but what are you?

Dead giveaway.
Goodbye.

If the devil and the demons aren’t real - as some are scandalously urging their readers to believe - then there is no possibility of contacting them. If there is no possibility of contacting them then why not use the board to entertain yourself and others?

These people, if believed, are going to get people harmed.

I know someone at another Christian forum that studied the occult and experienced horrible things as a result. It's nothing to play with.


A loose reading of the thread -> hide when family members use a Quija board?
@Matthias sorry your thread topic took two directions. But it does show how the evil one operates.

Are you aware that Jesus said, 'if they reject you, they reject me'?......and he also said, 'the day is coming when those who kill you will think they are offering God service'.......something to chew on!

"And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’ "

Ouija. That’s a peculiar name. Where did the board get its name?

“… the trademarked name Ouija is now generally used for all talking boards. But the name was coined by Helen Peters, a medium who was using the board with her brother-in-law Elijah Bond one night 1890 in Baltimore. When she asked what they should call it, the planchette spelled out ‘Ouija’, which the board told her meant ‘good luck’.”


One of the Christadelphians asked me recently if all of the demons are silly. They aren’t. Was this one? I think this one thought himself clever and was amusing himself with the medium.

Then there is the non-demonic etymology behind the word, Ouija.

“The dictionary defines occult as ‘hidden, secret and mysterious, particularly pertaining to the supernatural.’”


Something evil without an origin story in scripture? Something which isn’t the focus of scripture but is mentioned in scripture?

Demons know French and German. Quite the joke, I’d say, the clever demon played on the medium.

Mediums don’t have the upper hand on demons. Demons have the upper hand on mediums.

The occult world isn’t controlled by humans. Humans are manipulated by the occult world.

I didnt conflate anything.

Hamas uses the Arab people (Palestinians) to try to survive.
They use them as human shields and they take their food.

Hamas is a death cult and they are going to die, and the sooner the better for the world at large.

Christians aren't.

The Christadelphians - and “the devil and the demons aren’t real” advocates, in general - aren’t siding with Christians on this particular issue. They are being manipulated by the occult world.
