How to Spot a Demonic Presence

The Masons are Occultic group, into things that no Christian should get involved with, and they see all religions as being equal ways to God!

 

They see all religions as equals, as can have a Koran, or Bible as main text book for Lodge!

 

demon possession now called Holy laughter!

 

Yet another subject change question. What does scripture say about witchcraft?

Folks, notice the ad hominems, the misrepresentations, the avoidance of biblical support?

Pay no attention to those whose agenda is to find fault with others based on non-biblical absurdity.

The future presence of demons will occur during end times according to scripture.

 

On and on they ignore the evidence, alter scripture, and misrepresent viewpoints.

1) No quote was provided where I 'claimed victory." So yet another deflection using falsehood.
2) For you to claim the NT does not present the idea that the Church has been built on the foundation of the prophets and apostles, and it is not necessary to lay that foundation again is ludicrous.
3) Rather than worry about "demon possession" why not worry about "false teachers" who introduce destructive heresies
4) It is obvious "demons" will do miracles per scripture. Liberals add to scripture to make it to no effect.

 

Claiming victory yet again.

Delusion. I don't think anyone has any idea where you're getting this.

False teachers...... like those that deny the dangers of the occult.

 

Claiming victory yet again, with no support for his view whatsoever.

 

Misrepresenting viewpoints of others is the hall mark of false teachers.
On and on they ignore the evidence, and alter scripture.

1) No quote was provided where I 'claimed victory." So yet another deflection using falsehood.

5) Note the denial the foundation has been laid by the prophets and apostles.

 

And Van, we're all waiting for your positive case that demonic possession has ceased. Tick tock.

 

Did I say demonic possession has ceased? Once again, no quote.

Pharmakeia appears about 3 times in the NT, and an array of English words are used for translation. They pretty much miss the mark. If you look at the three verses, basically "deceptive use of drugs" is in view. Actual magic or supernatural possession is not in view.

 

I think your position has been pretty clear. You're claiming the ceasing of gifts at the close of the cannon includes the ceasing of possession, and are requiring proof otherwise. But you've not even provided evidence of anything ceasing at the close of the cannon, let alone demon possession. You've not provided a single verse that even makes this claim.

 

false teachers and false prophets and false apostles do what? Teach "doctrines of demons"

 

Just rely upon the person and power of the Holy Spirit indwelling you!

 

Supernatural activity really ramped up at time of Jesus, why not before time of His second coming? As this nation seems to be really into occultic practices, astrology, ghosts shows etc!

 

The big problem is that at times one can find them,selves "inviting" into their lives some unforeseen demonic activities!
Scriptures warn us against allowing the Devil a foothold into our lives!

 

Ron Rhodes wrote a great book:
The Truth Behind Ghosts, Mediums, and Psychic Phenomena

He is hands down my favorite end-times author, but he's also a great apologist, and very good on this subject. I think you'll find it a blessing.



All these shows on TV, both documentary and fiction, are part of an actual comprehensive religious belief system. From Poltergeist to Sixth Sense to Ghost Whisperer, to Ghost Hunters, etc., the belief system is very consistent. Medium and psychic consultants are involved in all these projects from start to finish. I believe it's the religion of our day.
