    Do Demon's Dwell Within Christians?

    Dear All, I think we can all agree that we don't all agree. Also, those with experience are not to be troubled by those with theories. I remember people trying to tell me that tongues had cease with the supposed completion of the New Testament. Obviously they were wrong because I speak in...

    Polygamy

    Dear S, Are you comparing the unions that Jacob had with his wives to the sin of homosexuality?

    Do Demon's Dwell Within Christians?

    Dear D, People...i.e. people in general. Not all people, but rather the people that my comment about people applies to. When I speak of people, as I have used the term here, it refers to a group characterized by certain attributes. These people contained within this group seem to have certain...

    Is it ever proper to judge another man's servant?

    I am not sure it is even proper to judge actions all that much. Seems to me to be just a rational for judging others. I think we should often times just mind our own business.

    Polygamy

    Dear Selene, Are you saying that because God created only one woman for Adam that we should all have one wife? Does you logic extend to being naked because Adam and Eve were naked? After all, God did not create clothes so perhaps they are sinful.

    Do Demon's Dwell Within Christians?

    Dear All People seem to have a predetermined idea of how this or that should be and they they try to shoe horn scritpures to fit. I suppose this just goes to show that one must actually look in the mouth of a horse and count the teeth to know how many they actually have.

    Polygamy

    Hi all, We cannot base a prohibition of polygamy upon one side reference to it in the New Testament when so many of the most revered men in the Bible had multiple wives. I understand that our culture stems from the Victorian age which has its roots in romantic love...or the ideas of marriage...

    Do Demon's Dwell Within Christians?

    Hi all, You know, having gone through a spiritual move of deliverance I can say for certain that demons indwell everyone to varying degrees. Most of the time these demons are kept under control and do not manifest themselves to the point of being obvious. People with varying forms of mental...

    Do Demon's Dwell Within Christians?

    Once you know that Demons indwell people to varying degrees some of the things they do make a whole lot more sense. Just as Israel did not drive out all the ungodly nations before them so to people do not drive out all the darkness in their lives when they become Christians. Thus both dwell...

    Is it ever proper to judge another man's servant?

    I think people should not judge other people. They are Gods servants no ours. Perhaps some that are in leadership have this respocibility but I think it should be used sparingly and judiciously. I did not know I pout...do I look cute when I do? I think focusing on judging people is the wrong...

    Do Demon's Dwell Within Christians?

    I have personally seen demons manifest out of pastors and Bible College teachers...I guess they didn't know the clear teaching of scripture. I wonder if I should believe your theology or what I saw with my own eys? Btw, if a demon speaks out of your mouth it is a pretty clear sign that it is...

    Is it ever proper to judge another man's servant?

    Wow, such a tough stand for judging one another. So then, what does Jesus mean that we should not judge another man's servant? Seems you have a lot of scriptures about judging but what do you think abou this one? Do you always openly rebuke sin? I am not sure I think that is Biblical...what...

    Polygamy

    Dear All, The reason I posted another topic is that I did not wish to get off topic on this one. I am sure you agee with that. The reason I have spoken about the evils of legalism with regaurd to polygamy is that I beileve that legalism is the root of many peoples objection to the blessed...

    Polygamy

    Dear all, You see, it is improper to judge very complicated subjects like polygamy when you have little or no experience with those who are living that lifestyle. Many like to be armchair prophets that decree judgment on things they know little about and call it God. Just because you can...

    Is it ever proper to judge another man's servant?

    Dear All, When, if ever, is it proper to judge another man's servant? Should we judge others according to our doctrine? If so when and how? What if others don't agree with our judgement? Should we have no fellowship with them? To me, being judgemental is counter productive. It is like...

    Polygamy

    Dear R, The spirit of suspicion is mightily upon you I see. Perhaps we could add the gift of suspicion to the other nine and make it an even ten. I have to chuckle to myself sometimes when people seem to jump to conclusions without knowing what they are talking about. I am sorry you seem to...

    Polygamy

    Dear Dragon, Birds of a feather seem to flock together. Actually, having read R's comments I find them very judgemental of me personally and having little to do with the topic at hand. That is ok though becasue R musings about me do not really figure into the debate...smile. I do think it...

    Polygamy

    Dear Rex. Are you seriously trying to tell me that you took from my writings that we should be naked? My word, you have completely missed the mark.

    Polygamy

    I believe if we read this scripture without bias it is obvious the Paul was not talking about polygamy but simply about marriage. If you notice he specifically says that he wants them to have a wife so that they can judge how they manage their own household before the are consider for a...

    Manifestations

    Again, once your experience something it is easier to talk about. Many people who disagree with manifestations of the Spirit are on the outside looking in and that is why they do not understand the value of them.
