Witches, like the one Saul hired, normally deal with demons posing as spirit this or spirit that. Same with mediums etc if they are more than mere hucksters. Does that make them real or not? Actually, it is immaterial. They are condemned not for their power but for their spiritual perversion and corruption.
More to the point, man is not an inconcquential creature spiritually even if we are presently in harms way unless we repent and we, as a race, have been filling up this world with our curses for thousands of years. This has to have an effect. The “spells” they say they use may be meaningless whereby witches are being further decieved but behind them lay the misuseand abuse of what tatters of authority Mankind still retains.
People have attempted to create such gods, and they have never equaled the compassionate, suffering, but also all-powerful Christ. They melt before Him.
Good luck getting through Jesus, racist witch.
Oh, the spirits of the infernal are real, and may be summoned in the lack of the welcome of Jesus.
Many people hate Jesus in various ways. We’ve viewed two of those ways (at least) on this very thread.
>People have attempted to create such gods, and they have never equaled the compassionate, suffering, but also all-powerful Christ. They melt before Him.
Create what “such Gods?”
I will never deny the goodness of Christ and his father God. But what “such God” are you referring to?
If you mean the BS allah, and all the other fantasy “Gods” then I agree...they are “such BS gods.”
I don’t want to disagree with reality.
The “God” that hates merely “what soycd sees as evil” and not truly all evil. Because he will never hate what you think.
Will you deny His AUTHORITY?
Because He actually offers the choice for you to do so. Otherwise there could never be love, because there would only be a puppet show.
You appear to be denying His AUTHORITY.
That will come back to you one day. That is why a hell exists.
>Many people hate Jesus in various ways.
The only morons “hating Jesus” I have heard of are islams, democrats and pagan filth.
None of which should be paid any mind.
You too hate Jesus. You show it in only wanting a God that hates what you deem evil, rather than what is absolutely evil in His eyes.
>Will you deny His AUTHORITY?
Never. God and me are as one. God owns me and is happy with my actions so far. How about you?
Got news for you pal. God’s list of evil is far longer than yours and has a mirror in it for you.
God and you are as one?
No. That is blasphemy unless you are personally Jesus.
You (and I) only have a promise of final perfection.
Not of present perfection.
You are claiming present perfection. Sorry. You have much about your own sin to learn. Something which I do not disclaim about myself either, but I can rightfully deplore your lack of recognition of your own sin, which presently prevents you from being one with God.
>You too hate Jesus.
I don’t know Jesus. I know God. I was in school for many years with the teachings of Jesus. I have no issues with the teachings of Jesus as they were all GOOD. I just have never met Jesus in person. I have met and accept God.
>You show it in only wanting a God that hates what you deem evil, rather than what is absolutely evil in His eyes.
Uh, you best do better than that silly blind shot before I can even accept it as heresy.
It’s not what I want from God, bu8t what god wants from me. And it’s all good.
When confronted by God’s Holiness we find Isaiah — who must have been mighty in the holiness that could come from the Law in its time ... not just morally as if some mere upright Israelite but also ceremonially and positionally (as ministering priest) — despairing of life as a man of unclean lips among a people of unclean lips.
What this specifically means (though I suspect it may have had something to do with being too quick to vow or say things like as The Lord lives) isn’t so much important to the point I’m trying to make as that it was a recognition that something he’d thought harmless, maybe even good, when he say Holiness he realized it was anything but.
And here our society is one of unclean “what have you got?” (say it eagerly out loud as if hopeful, to get the effect I’m hoping to convey) but because it judges itself by itself I can’t help but have the feeling that many Americans might imagine, were they suddenly in Isaiah’s shoes, that they would come off smelling like a rose, or even get a pat on the back for being “nice” and “tolerant”.
Never mind those who are functionally insane like so many PCdiots are.
That said, what restrains the mortal saints, their own issues aside (you do not have to be anything but struggling to try to stand against evil and in fact struggling is far BETTER than these unrepentant unhypocritical worldlings), is a civil law: we are not Israel under the Law. Yet it is much better that we use our influence against the like of witches in a most intolerant way than to say, oh, we’re just hypocrites and let slide. That would be part of the salt losing its saltiness.
Do not fall for the suggestion that those who don’t live up to every jot and tittle should be the ones to make due: that’s just things like when an Alinskyite demands you put up or shut up knowing he can cause shame in some and shut up those who might resist them.
So legally we have to leave witches to God, and hope that they repent, but towards those that are active and unrepentant ... they should be opposed in a manly fashion.
Frankly, the federal government has NO lawful power to ever require a private citizen or other non-State Actor to respect federal civil rights. It is not rebellion to resist lawlessness in high places.
>You have much about your own sin to learn.
It’s a lesson in progress.
I’ve learned that I do sin when I imbibe in the Moonshine that may or may not be made here. But my loved ones insist that I become much less critical of things outside of my domain and are easy to relate to.
I take that as a good thing. I like people, I like logic, I despise dogma and filth like islam, welfare and sloth.
Summoned nothing.
To reject the real, the genuine always invites a counterfeit.
The Boers need to get together with the Zulus and hang the ANC.
Median IQ of blacks in South Africa?
Median IQ of whites in South Africa?
>God and you are as one?
>No. That is blasphemy unless you are personally Jesus.
We are going to maybe have to agree to disagree about the details of the goodness of God and our ability to accept ourselves as we are.
You and I agree God has a plan and it is good. We follow that good. Jesus taught nothing but good. I agree.
I accept Jesus is a part of good. I follow the God I know and it harms none. Humans that try to harm me and mine will face the best defense I have to offer....until I can not defend against evil.
