OKI think both of these aspects can be true. Spiritual death and access of the enemy to our minds.
I believe that the one named Legion was the 'strongman' spirit. And the name Legion represented the authority level of that rank.If a person needs deliverance from demons, how many spirits are present?
The demoniac said, "My name is Legion, for we are many." (from memory)
Yes, I too have gone through a few deliverance conferences. But I also have dealt with some by 'starving them out' / "fleeing temptation" and some by 'crowding them out' "coming to the light".Can a Christian have a demon? Yes, I believe so. I had a least one cast out.

I'm not saying a 'doctrinal difference' based upon a doctrine being 'essential' or 'non-essential', determines something as a lie. But calling those theologians "liars", was admittedly harsh, and I'm sorry. I still think they are deceived and therefore deceiving others.Why does a difference in doctrinal opinion on non-essentials amount to "lies" by the other?

So, those bible translating theologians being untrue still stands IMO,. That's why I presented those 4 scriptures, showing how they were all over the board with their BIBLICAL interpretations. That was the point I was trying to show. I was also hoping some of you guys would see and agree...but nothing. It remains just a 'point' which no one has even addressed. I searched hard for better understanding of the differences between 'Iniquity, transgressions and sins'. As well as how those 3 terms relate to the total triune human beings spirit, soul or body....YES...that is in my opinion.
I was starting to form my own opinions, from personal study, long ago. Then, in my early forum years, I even asked those who were in seminary what they were taught. One student, haughtily told me that "WE were taught that 'Iniquity, transgressions and sins'. are just a 'heap-ing of terms', and they all just mean the same thing...SIN. I, assuredly, told him I live in 'cattle country' and when I see a 'heap', I like to see what that stinkin 'heap' is really full of. That's when I quoted 'them' a verse with all three terms in it and only one is sin. They basically told me that scripture is just being REDUNDANT, and I think it is just being REVEALING....to one who has EYES TO SEE and is willing to look/listen to the spirit of truth and plum the depths of scripture.
