Anyone else reading my posts would not draw the contrary conclusion you have. Wielding Godly authority, and unclean spirits avoiding you, are not necessarily cause-and-effect. Even a broken clock is right twice a day. Don't get too cocky just yet. Such character assassination attempts are...

. It's not a lex-icon. Using any concordance, read the front where you find the objective listing of every word and ignore the subjective definitions in the rear. While Strong's will suffice for this, there are other ways to conveniently pull up the sum appearances of any particular word in the...

Unbelieving impotent Greek geeks are not someone to be consulted, especially in the area of spiritual warfare. These guys couldn't fight their way out of a paper bag. In addition to the previous example of J. B. Phillips, we note J. Henry Thayer's Greek Lexicon, which begins with a warning by...

Of course it does. What do you think a "place" is? place = topos = as in "topographical." i.e. inhabited ground or territory. Comparing scripture with scripture, the word "place" is found as follows: place (80x) room (5x) quarter (2x) licence (1x) coast (1x) where (1x), plain (with G3977)...

They are one in the same. Jesus Christ (i.e. the one christened/anointed of God) coming in the flesh is synonymous with the fact that he is the one who shed his blood for us. Of course. Yet we have countless accounts of unbelievers who DID call on the name of Jesus in their moment of need, and...

and what is "the standard translation"? If English is your language, then simply read the English bible and believe what it says. Rather, "the fact that you have repeatedly" foisted that statement, without performing due diligence re: my clear posts declaring my Master, suggests that you have...

From the OP: If Satan disguises himself as an angel of light (2 Corinthians 11:14), how can we be sure we're not following someone who appears “biblical” but is ac This caught my attention, as 'disguising himself' is one of Satan's most frequent moves. But, it is not difficult for the believer...

The critical difference is, I don't use Greek to "correct" the Holy Bible or it proponents. Any nine-year-old girl in Greece knows Greek better than the NIV translators or wannabee 'scholars' in these forums; the Greek Orthodox Church has had the 'so-called' advantage of an intimate knowledge...

I'll take that at face value and give you the benefit of the doubt and so offer you an explanation. Frankly, while I realize this is a "debate" forum (which should never excuse poor behavior, in any case), I do not countenance arrogance. Stop asking leading questions and you can expect a fair...

We get that. This is not all about you. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. (John 1:5) Your readership is not the priority.

There's a procedure to overcome evil spirits in our life. And the procedure is always the same. There are four steps needed to take place in order for people to get delivered. Most of these steps, particularly 3 and 4, people never do. Most people only do steps 1 and 2, they stop there and they...

No, as I clearly stated, too many are hung up on the "possession vs. obsession" red herring, and that is merely one reason why they're ineffective when it comes to casting out devils. This is what the OP is trying to suss out and this is what you should be pursuing rather than attempting to...

This is NOT the gist of the thread, as I clearly elucidated, although you would like to make it so, in order to continue running your game. You've foisted other non sequiturs, as well. It was written in Greek - for Greek readers. But you're not Greek, and this isn't Greece, and Greek is not...

We're not talking about possession. You've done nothing here but presume - because you're still hung up on the "possession vs. oppression" red herring. So "accusers" must be "external"??? Yet another presumption. and "Medical knowledge" is neither a requisite for salvation nor encouraged in...

and Both of you are presuming. As several of us have repeatedly demonstrated, with scripture, the two (Satan and Jesus) are not mutually exclusive within a believer, as one's flesh is not sacrosanct. It appears you've not taken the time to understand the entirety of the preceding posts. I...

Again, the Holy Spirit dwelling in a believer does not necessarily exclude a devil dwelling in the same believer's flesh.

"permanently lives" where? In the palm of your hand? Just under your fingernail? Hovering above your scalp? Exactly where is it that "Jesus... permanently lives"? You're arguing for only a physical location, rather than understanding that both the physical and the spiritual are located within...

...after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession (Eph. 1:13-14). You must overcome, you must walk righteously, to obtain the final payoff. Sanctification is the name of the game...

Would we not be unanimous in our estimation that a great number who frequent sites similar to this are "walking disorderly" (2 Thes. 3:6) - believers and posers alike? Believers do have a charge: Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves...

For I know that in me, that is, in my flesh, dwells no good thing (Rom. 7:18). When you physically die, where does your flesh go? You quoted only the final verse of that chapter, without considering the context of what came before it. In that chapter, Paul takes occasion to warn the ppl...
