I know they cannot from scripture. I would like to ask you and all of the demonoligists,
Does the Holy Spirit share space with this church member so the demon can have some fun?
not just for fun, but everyday living. was not Paul and Barnabas filled with the Holy Ghost? .... yes. scripture, Acts 15:36 "And some days after Paul said unto Barnabas, Let us go again and visit our brethren in every city where we have preached the word of the Lord, and see how they do.
Acts 15:37 "
And Barnabas determined to take with them John, whose surname was Mark.
Acts 15:38 "But Paul thought not good to take him with them, who departed from them from Pamphylia, and went not with them to the work.
Acts 15:39 "
And the contention was so sharp between them, that they departed asunder one from the other: and so Barnabas took Mark, and sailed unto Cyprus;
Acts 15:40 "And Paul chose Silas, and departed, being recommended by the brethren unto the grace of God.
Acts 15:41 "And he went through Syria and Cilicia, confirming the churches.
now, the word here for "contention" is
G3948 παροξυσμός paroxusmos (par-o-xïz-mos') n.
1. a provoking, an incitement (to good).
2. a sharp dispute (in anger).
[from G3947 (“paroxysm”)]
KJV: contention,
provoke unto
notice definition #2. now this, Colossians 3:5 "
Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:
Colossians 3:6 "For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:
Colossians 3:7 "In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them.
Colossians 3:8 "
But now ye also put off all these;
anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth".
Hold it "BUT NOW", meaning that you're a Christian. before without God, verses 5 shows some of the things we were before coming to God. "BUT NOW" as Christians put off these also, and "Anger" was the first on the LIST.
understand, sin was condemned in the flesh, scripture, Romans 8:3 "For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh,
God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin,
condemned sin in the flesh"
as long as we're in the flesh we're subject to sin. but take hope, scripture, Hebrews 13:5 "Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said,
I will never leave thee,
nor forsake thee.
Hebrews 13:6 "So that we may boldly say,
The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me".
why do we bodly say?, for the Lord is the author and finisher of our FAITH, (see Hebrews 12:2). for we're save by Hope, listen, Romans 8:24 "
For we are saved by hope:
but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?
Romans 8:25 "But if we hope for that we see not,
then do we with patience wait for it".
so while we're in this flesh body we can sin, but not without HOPE.
