Good. Lots of intelligent responses. That's why I came to this room, to communicate with others about spirituality. You guys have given me a lot of stuff to examine and process. A lot of questions that I will try to answer. First of all, through my practice I have acquired some strange abilities. Satan offers power and success, among other things in the physical world. I am not interested in money or materialistic things so I don't use those rituals. What I do have, and use, is the ability to recognize what Christians call the "Holy Spirit". When communicating with some of you I felt the presence of the Holy Spirit and acknowledged it. When someone speaks to me and I detect the presence of the Holy Spirit, I tend to pay attention. There are many here that speak the truth. And I have already seen the proof. I have opened my home to demons and I allow them to dwell in my home. As long as they are not behaving maliciously I allow them to use my home as a safe haven. Sure they offer me power but as I said, advancement in the material world is not important to me. What happens, is when someone here communicates with me and the Holy Spirit is present, my "guests" respond. Some of them flee instantly. Some of the older, more powerful demons are able to stand when the Holy Spirit is present and face it. Now, they offer me assistance. The temptation to use the LaVeyan destruction ritual against this self-righteous, confused member called Stranger is what I am faced with. But I told the admins of this room that I will NOT attack you. I will NOT bring demonic forces into this room. This is a CHRISTIAN chat room, and I believe that using the destruction ritual and unleashing demons to attack Stranger is definitely not what Christ would have me do. As previously stated, the Holy Spirit is present without a doubt when I listen to Sword, JesusisFaithful, ScottA, VictoryinJesus, and other members. But with Stranger, I do not feel the Holy Spirit's presence- which signals to me that Stranger's thinking is not Christ-like. And if you read his posts and see how he is attacking me with scripture that I doubt he even understands. I'm not saying that Christ is not present within Stranger- He is just not manifesting Himself, thus the message that Stranger brings is not TRUTH, therefore the Holy Spirit is not present. What is present is prejudice, intolerance, hate and general lack of compassion. Stranger is attacking me by himself. He is using scripture as a weapon. God is not a part of Stranger's attacks. His statements come from his own ego, not from Christ. Bottom line: People like Stranger are the reason Satanism exists. Want some subjective proof? The demons I have invited into my home do NOT flee from Stranger's message because they do not view him as a threat. He has no power and is merely a liar- and he is not even aware of it. He would be an easy target because his connection to God has a lot of holes and flaws, making it easier for demons to access him and impact his life in a negative way. But I have given my word that I will not curse this room or any of its members, and I will not allow demonic forces to enter this chat room with me. I am here to talk about spirituality and God. Not to spend time listening to people like Stranger, who obviously needs this advice: Work on yourself first. Correct your thinking and remove hate, intolerance, condemnation, judgement and self-righteousness from your heart. Stranger, you do have all of these Godless attributes in your heart. You reflect poorly upon Christianity when you speak in a way that exposes your confusion. People like you are pushing people away from Christ. You are part of the problem. Your message is negative and ineffectual. I do not believe you should call yourself a Christian because I don't believe you are one.
No one doubts you have strange abilities. Where did you get this ability to recognize the Holy Spirit, when you don't have that Spirit?
No one doubts you open your home to demons.
You are a liar because no demons can face the Holy Spirit. If the Holy Spirit is present, your demons and your god satan will flee.
You say you don't believe I am a Christian. Then go ahead and use your 'LaVeyan destruction ritual'. But, recognize that if I am a Christian, whatever ritual you want to perform on me, will first go through Jesus Christ. Have at it.
Indeed, I am part of your problem. Because Jesus Christ is your problem.
