Doctrines of Demons - 1 Tim. 4:1-2

The New Testament Scriptures are the Word of God and take precedence over Mosaic Law which the New Testament Word of God says has been abolished (Col. 2:14-16). The New Testament Word of God says,

"There is NOTHING UNCLEAN OF ITSELF" in a context that deals with food distinctions between Jews and Gentiles. The Word of God regards the brother who places limits on his diet as a "WEAK" brother in contrast to a Gentile brother who "believeth he can eat ALL THINGS" as the stronger brother in the faith:

Rom. 14:1 ¶ Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations.
2 For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs.

14 I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean.

This is the New Testament Word of God that sanctifies that "EVERY CREATURE OF GOD IS GOOD" to eat. However, you have a seared conscience, seared by demons with false doctrine and do not care what the Word of God sanctifiese! You will continue to totatlly disregard God's Word because you have no capability of submitting to God's Word

...

 

1. First, there is not one word about food offered to idols mentioned in Romans 14 - not one word!

2. Paul could not say "there is NOTHING unclean of itself" in the context of food differences if he actually believed the dietary law under Moses was applicable to Jews and Gentiles at the church of Rome or any other church.

3. Paul, Peter, James and the church at Jerusalem would have included the dietary law of Moses in the decree to the Gentiles in Acts 15 if they believed it was still applicable under the New Covenant. THEY DID NOT!

4. Why would Paul say that the person who eats "vegetable only" is the "WEAK" brother in contrast to the one who "beleiveth he can EAT ALL THINGS" as the strong brother if the backdrop was the foods offered to idols, since the food offered to idols included food condemned by the Levitical dietary law?

Your conscience has been seared by demonic doctrines and no amount of evidence will change your mind because you have no ability to submit to God's Word.

 

What an absurd and rediculous rationale! Matthew 7 does not say a word about judging your brother in the context of food! Colossians 2:14-16 is in the context of food and in the context of Mosaic ceremonial ordinances or the Levitical laws of clean and unclean that have been ABOLISHED by the cross.

Again, if your legalistic view were correct then Paul, Peter, James and the church at Jerusalem would have included the clean and unclean dietary law of Moses in the decree to the Gentile churches! THEY DID NOT but YOU DO! You do because your conscience is seared by demons and their false doctrine and no amount of evidence or rationale will change your mind.

 

May I ask you if you are a Jew? Do you "shave your head" (Acts 21:24)??


24 Them take, and purify thyself with them, and be at charges with them, that they may shave their heads: and all may know that those things, whereof they were informed concerning thee, are nothing; but that thou thyself also walkest orderly, and keepest the law.

Until you practice this don't preach to me! However, are you a Gentile Bob? Read the next verse Bob:

25 As touching the Gentiles which believe, we have written and concluded that they observe no such thing, save only that they keep themselves from things offered to idols, and from blood, and from strangled, and from fornication.

But you do not care what the Word of God actually says do you Bob because your conscience has been seared by demons and their false doctrines. If you did care what the Word of God said you would not make such a foolish argument and tell me to read the text. Read the text Bob! Read Acts 21:25 and find where the levitical dietary law is demanded of Gentiles? Can't do it, can you Bob? But you and I know you really don't care what it says. you are the one playing "god" and the readers know it.

The only reason these things were commanded of the Gentiles was not because they are required by God but because Jews would not hear the gospel from their lips if they practiced such things. Read the text Bob and look at the reason given in Acts 15:21

21 For Moses of old time hath in every city them that preach him, being read in the synagogues every sabbath day.

1 Cor. 9:20 And unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; to them that are under the law, as under the law, that I might gain them that are under the law;

However, in regard to the Gentiles, in the very context of this restriction Paul denied that Gentiles were subject to the Levitical laws of clean versus unclean:

24 Them take, and purify thyself with them, and be at charges with them, that they may shave their heads: and all may know that those things, whereof they were informed concerning thee, are nothing; but that thou thyself also walkest orderly, and keepest the law.
25 As touching the Gentiles which believe, we have written and concluded that they observe no such thing,

But Bob, you don't care what God's Word says do you? Your conscience has been seared by demons and their false doctrine and you will find a way, find a rationale that will contradict the above words to Gentiles and MAKE IT READ AS FOLLOWS:

"As touching the Gentiles which believe, we have written and concluded that THEY OBSERVE ALL SUCH THINGS"

There you go Bob, now the Bible reads the way you want it to read and the way you interpet it to read and the way your demons direct you to read it!

This is the demon's interpretation that Bob's seared conscience is in bondage to but this is not Paul's interpretation as Paul tells us explicitly that none of the other Levitical laws of clean versus unclean or sabbatical cycles and their feasts are applicable to Gentile believers:

24 Them take, and purify thyself with them, and be at charges with them, that they may shave their heads: and all may know that those things, whereof they were informed concerning thee, are nothing; but that thou thyself also walkest orderly, and keepest the law.
25 As touching the Gentiles which believe, we have written and concluded that they observe no such thing,

Here is the deranged demonically inspired interpretation that Bob's conscience has been "seared" to defend. Bob says their WEAKNESS is due to abiding by the Acts 15 decree! Yes, bob is actually saying that obedience to God's Word is the cause for their weakness?

As touching the Gentiles which believe, we have written and concluded that they observe no such thing,[/COLOR][/SIZE] - Acts 21:25

You are "weak" if you obey this command of the Apostles according to Bob. However, this would mean that the one who "believeth he can EAT ALL THINGS" is strong" and the one who believes "THERE IS NOTHING UNCLEAN OF ITSELF" is strong! However, Bob does not believe in the context of diet that "THERE IS NOTHING UNCLEAN OF ITSELF"???? He rebukes Peter, Paul, James and the church at Jersualem and would intepret Acts 21:25 to read as follows:

"As touching the Gentiles which believe, we have written and concluded they observe no such thing UNLESS they want to be a STRONG Christian because if they abide by these things in our decree they are WEAK"

Here is the deranged demonically led interpretation of a seared conscience. However, Paul says the same thing in Romans 14:

13 Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother’s way.
14 I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean.
15 But if thy brother be grieved with thy meat, now walkest thou not charitably. Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died.

Bob, has reversed the text to teach the very opposite of what Paul is teaching. Paul declares that the STRONG know that in the context of FOOD there is NOTHING UNCLEAN OF ITSELF but for the sake of the WEAK brother who sees some foods as unclean, that the strong in the presence of such brethren will restrain their own liberty so not to wound the weak brothers conscience until he can be instructed and grow into the truth.

Peter never always kept the levitical dietary law up to the point that God told him that such animals were not "clean" and God told him to rise up kill and eat. After learning this, he violated the laws of clean and unclean in regard to Gentiles by coming into their homes:

Acts 10:28 And he said unto them, Ye know how that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come unto one of another nation; but God hath shewed me that I should not call any man common or unclean.

Now he does what he admits he formerly viewed as "unlawful." He comes into their home. Next, he also does what he formerly viewed as "unlawful" according to the dietary laws, he not only comes into the homes of Gentiles but he EATS at their table what they EAT until LEGALISTS like Bob caught him doing it and then he flees:

For before that certain came from James, he did eat with the Gentiles: but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing them which were of the circumcision.

Paul rebuked Peter! Not for eating with the Gentiles but for acting like the Gentile food was unclean when people like Bob saw what he was eating and who he was eating with?

So Peter, did that which he formerly considered to be "UNLAWFUL" in regard to entering the homes of Gentiles as well as EATING with Gentiles.

However, none of this matters to Bob. Bob has a conscience seared by demons and no amount of Biblical evidence will change his mind because his mind is in bondage to these spirits - just watch and see his reactions.

 

Seeing the text is something you have not yet done? For if you had actually seen the text you would have read and seen the difference between verse 24 as applied to Jews and verse 25 as applied to Gentiles:


24 Them take, and purify thyself with them, and be at charges with them, that they may shave their heads: and all may know that those things, whereof they were informed concerning thee, are nothing; but that thou thyself also walkest orderly, and keepest the law.25 As touching the Gentiles which believe, we have written and concluded that they observe no such thing, save only that they keep themselves from things offered to idols, and from blood, and from strangled, and from fornication.

However, Bob argues that what applied to Paul and Jews applied equally to Gentiles and only WEAK Gentiles obeyed this restriction! That is the kind of mind that operates within Bob.

It is obvious that Acts 15 concerns the CEREMONIAL clean and unclean Laws not the Moral laws or the "whole word of God" as Bob tries to interpret it. It is the ceremonial law of circumcision that is the heart of this discussion (Acts 15:2). To be uncircumcised was to be ceremonially "unclean" in the eyes of the Jews. Therefore, the Apostolic decree points out only CEREMONIAL clean and unclean restrictions that are necessary to prevent offending the jews so that they will not even listen to the gospel.

The Gentile is not under any of these ceremonial laws EXCEPT in the presence of lost Jews and then only for the sake of sharing the gospel. As Paul said in 1 Corinthians 9 "To the Jew I became as the Jew" and to those "under law" he became as those under law in order to share the gospel.

The clean and unclean animals had nothing to do with dietary laws prior to Moses but only to what was acceptable for use in sacrifices as the sacrificial animal had to be a proper TYPE of Jesus Christ. The fact that NO ANIMALS either clean or unclean were permitted prior to flood demonstrates the pre-flood distinction had nothing to do with diet but with sacrifice. The fact that ALL ANIMALS were considered CLEAN for diet after the flood proves the distinction between clean and unclean had nothing to do with diet:

Gen. 9:3 Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things.

If Bob's argument had any weight the text would have said "Every CLEAN moving thing that liveth"! God did not say "EVERY green herb that exists" he gave for food but only "the green herb have I given." The only limitation is that which is considered edible and can be eaten for food.

Of course, no amount of argument, no amount of Biblical evidence can change a mind that is ruled by a conscience seared by demons and demonic doctrines.

1 ¶ Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.
4 For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused,

According to the NEW TESTAMENT WORD OF GOD which sanctifies it as 1 Timothy 4:1-5 is the WORD OF GOD that sanctifies it!.

 

I never said these chapters were "deleted" from the scriptures as any fool can see they are still in the book of Leviticus. But the New Testament deletes obedience to the OLD COVENANT and Colosians 2:14 deletes obedience to the ceremonial laws of clean and unclean found in those chapters! The ceremonial laws of clean and unclean have the moral law as their underlying principle and the principle is never abolished or deleted (Lev. 19:18) but the PRACTICE and OBSERVATION of the ceremonial FORMS are abolished. Do you still practice and observe the nazerite vow? Do you still observe and practice sacrificial rituals as prescribed in Leviticus 1-5? Do you still observe and practice the clean and unclean laws concerning leporsy or contact with gentiles???? Your demons will not allow your conscience to operate with common sense.

By now the readers have picked up on your foolish and irrational arguments. The decree in Acts 15 is carefully intepreted by Acts 21:24-25 to prove that Gentiles are not under CEREMONIAL LAWS of clean and unclean and that these exceptions are merely to keep the door open to lost Jews to hear the gospel and not something they must observe privately or personally at all.


Your abuse of Robertson and your perverted idea that disobedience to the Acts 15 decree is the sign of Maturity while observing it is a sign of weakness exposes the demons behind your seared conscience

 

Apparently you are incapable of reading. I have already thoroughly exposed the above irrational and unbiblical arguments and you offer absolutely no response to what I have said. All you do is repeat your seared rationale.

 

It is only a "good point" if you ignore all the rest of Peter's actions in regard to this issue (Acts 15; Gal. 2).

You make a big deal that Peter's statement in Acts 10 that he never violated God's laws but then ignore that he admits he is violating the law that forbid him to enter into the home of a Gentile in Acts 10. You ignore the fact that as a consequence of this vision he later ignores the dietary law by EATING the food of the Gentiles (Gal. 2). You ignore the fact that as a consequence of this vision he later OMITS the dietary law from the decree sent to Gentile churches.

There is not question in my mind that I am dealing demons and their doctrines through "seared minds" as you ignore the Biblical context, deny what the scriptuers plainly state and your rational is perverted and twisted.

However, that is not the purpose I gave for quoting it! You know it is not and yet you intentionally pervert and twist my purpose for citing this verse! That is the sign of demonic presence. I cited this verse for one reason and one reason only and that was to prove that what Peter formly observed as law and admits what he has done is "unlawful" thus he has violated the law demonstrating that he now regards that law as invalid because of the vision. I also cited Galatians 2:12 for the same reason. Those who believed in the dietary law observed Peter "EATING" with Gentiles at their table with their food thus demonstrating he no longer observed the dietary law because of that vision which explicilty commanded him to rise up and kill and EAT of what was formerly pronounced as "unclean" but now God command Peter no longer to call it "unclean." I also cited Acts 15 with Acts 21:24-15 to demonstrate Peter's consequential view of the dietary law as no longer binding for Jews or Gentiles.

Yes, and in all six cases the Lord makes it clear what he means. In John 6:35 and 47-48 he clearly defines as "eating" and "drinking" as merely metaphors for coming and believing in Christ or partaking of Christ by believing in the gospel. In Acts 10 he makes it clear that previously unclean animals are now clean and they are food for beleiving Jews and Peter is found "EATING such (Gal. 2:12) and allowing Gentiles to eat such (Acts 15 with 21:24-25).

That is true. Believing in the gospel is defined by metaphors (eating and drinking) and the gospel of free grace no longer under law is seen in being able to eat what was formerly unclean under law as Peter claims in Acts 15 we are no longer under such bondage but under free grace

Yes, and granted them the liberty to believe that "NOTHING IS UNCLEAN OF ITSELF" and they can eat all things edible by omitting the dietary law in the Apostolic decree to Gentiles (Acts 15 with Acts 21:24-25) and illustrates it by his own eating habit (Gal. 2:12).

Why not quote the rest Bob? Afraid? Your "seared conscience" won't allow you to quote the rest of what Peter went on to say about the ceremonial law of clean and unclean of which circumcision was part and parcel of and representative of?

10 Now therefore why tempt ye God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?11 But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they.

Peter is admitting only to his FORMER practice before this vision. He is not stating his future practice after this vision. His future practice after this vision is that he does LITERALLY eat with the Gentiles (Gal. 2:12) and he does not require Gentiles to observe the dietary law (Acts 15 with Acts 21:24-25).

Bob, why not quote where God commands him to no longer call "unclean" what God "hath cleansed"? I will tell you why, because your demons who have seared your consciene won't allow you to. You are in their bondage and their servant to defend their doctrines.
