I know it's hard to believe the level of deception in the world but that's why the devil is called a "deceiver of the whole world". Making a conscious effort to avoid evil and clinging to God, is the only way to gain discernment of all forms of it. I'm not saying watching a scary movie is gonna...

If the movie you're talking about is the one I think it is, then yes it is bad. Horror movies are desensitizing poison for the mind all by themselves, but "paranormal", more often than not, gets into exploring the demonic realm. God's Word commands us to avoid every kind of evil. (1 Thess 5:22)...

http://bible.cc/joshua/11-1.htm They're all the same and I checked my bible too. Same spelling.

Joshua 11:1 What's in the bible is 'Madon', not "maron". a quick yahoo search led me to discovered that the word maron is old germanic for "nightmare" which is tied to an evil spirit. http://search.yahoo.com/search?ei=UTF-8&fr=crmas&p=maron+germanic

Psalm 111:10 10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; all who follow his precepts have good understanding. Based on this, the beginning of all true wisdom starts with belief and submission to God. Since he hasn't made an exception for the worldly "wisdom", there is no real value...

These posts are good and I would just add to put the faith you have now, in action. Matthew 7:7 7 “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door...

Where did that name come from? Your last topic and this one makes me think it involves an conjuring/occult device. (ouija board.) I really hope I'm wrong, Wayne. :mellow:

Any degree of temporary discomfort in this life, is well worth the eternal bliss in the next one.

This was right on time. God and His Word can really sever any (and all) ties of bondage. Really enjoyed reading this. T4p, Lively Stone :)

Believe it or not, I experienced something similar a couple years ago, when I really got serious about living for God. I had nightmares for a week and then randomly after that. I realized I had escaped the enemy's clutches and was so paranoid about him coming after me again. What I learned is...

I believe that God has given me this life to not "suffer" with, but to overcome through Him and be a testimony for many other people who are struggling with the same issues. I have already seen God work through me to change a few people, and there is nothing in life that compares to the feeling...

I try to make time everyday to read the Bible. Not always successful at that, but I don't let too many days get by me without checking in with God. Currently reading from cover to cover, and am in the middle of Psalms. I've read the New testament and Old Testament separately, but this will be...

You're right, Andyy. Wrong word usage on my part. I don't believe in relative truths, either.

My own personal truth is all I had/have, BiggAndyy. Thank you, Lively Stone :)

Rather than a sin, I think of it more as a weak faith. I will use myself as an example. By many standards, I have ample reason to walk around depressed all day, every day. I've posted about most of it, but not all. Some days I get overwhelmed by it all and a mild form of self pity starts...

I agree with putting him in perspective, but to deny him as an actual entity is foolish: Job 1:6 One day the angels came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan also came with them. Job 1:7 The LORD said to Satan, “Where have you come from?” Satan answered the LORD, “From roaming...

I have family members that play the lottery and I don't know of 1 who just plays for gas or grocery money. I use to play a ticket every blue moon but my money was too limited to gamble on lottery tickets. After losing continually, I realized it was a vice I couldn't really afford and i don't...

I posted a verse without any personal interpretation. I realize I didn't link this scripture with another supporting scripture, but I wouldn't call that twisting scripture or enough evidence to accuse me of having the likeness of a sinner. My interpretation of this verse is that there have been...
