Re: Should Christians look different?

What I think the truer perspective is is that those who follow Christ have been instructed by the Holy Spirit through the Bible not in what to look like, but in what to actually be. Examples: " Be not drunk with wine"--not "don't look like you're drunk with wine."; " Be kind...

Re: Do you think the Apocrypha was God inspired?

What about them? They were copies of Scripture that had been in use all along and was known to be Scripture, right? Yes there are books mentioned in the Bible that are not the Bible. If they passed out of circulation, is there any great wonder, if they were never held as Scripture?

Re: Is Ska dead?

I don't seek out ska to listen to, but every now and again I hear Jamaican Ska, which sounds pretty neat. I do occasionally purposely listen to mento bands, which I think have a great sound and style.

Re: Demons

Demons will often go after the people of God. Especially when we are getting closer to God and living as we should. I've had several occasions in the past year; especially in this past year when I felt and received a clear and confirmed by the church calling into ministry. 5 times I have been awake...

Re: Do you think the Apocrypha was God inspired?

The thing we must remember about inspiration is that it was not something that was discovered centuries after the fact by a conclave of bearded old men browsing through a collection of good books selecting which ones ought to be in the Bible.

Re: Exorcism

Then you have, I think, much evidence supporting the idea that Christians should be directly confronting the devil in order to free people from spiritual bondage. (Though personally, I have to say that eye-witness experiences are much more effective in proving this point than mere scripture referen...

Re: Exorcism

The bottom line is it is broken through Christ's death on the cross, not through us engaging evil spiritual forces; Jesus already thrashed them at Calvary. As to all the so-called modern Acts-style miracles that are happening today--while I hate to burst anyone's bubble just for bursting's sake, for...

Re: Exorcism

But rebuking the devil isn't always enough. When we're born again we're freed from our carnal nature to a certain extent, but it doesn't re-write our pasts, or the legal rights that have been opened up by sin. It's a process of repentance and direct confrontation with the demons. That statement jus...

Doesn't it say somewhere in the Bible that there will be those at the judgement day who will argue that they have cast out demons in Christ's name, yet he will indicate that he never knew them?
