4. When Eldad and Medad (Numbers 11)had a spirit rest on them and they prophesied.. we're they in a haunted place filled with ghosts and demons? Was it a demon that landed on them???

You're on extremely dangerous spiritual ground here, Storm.

Numbers 11, v. 26 specifically says it was "THE" Spirit (not just "a" spirit).

In the chapter before Jesus talks about those who blaspheme the Holy Spirit (Luke 12:10), he talks about casting out demons "by the finger of God" (Luke 11:20), which MANY Bible commentators reference that "finger" as the Holy Spirit Himself: 20 But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the kingdom of God is come upon you." (Jesus, Luke 11:20)

If we go to Mark 3, where Jesus is referenced also talking about blaspheming the Holy Spirit (3:28-29), the context also shows a heavy focus on casting out demons in that chapter ... see Mark 3:11, 22-23 -- even to the point where Jesus defends the Holy Spirit by asking a rhetorical question in v. 23: "How can Satan cast out Satan?"

IoW, the context is all clear: Jesus was casting out demons. The Pharisees were accusing Him of casting out spirits by Satan's power. Jesus, then in Mark 3:28 (also Luke 12) essentially says,
"Hey, if you say anything against Me -- you can be forgiven"...
..."but if you're going to accuse or insinuate" (even to make some attempted apologetic point) "that the Holy Spirit was operating as Satan or satanic hosts...
...duck! Look out! Forgiveness will NEVER be yours!"

I'm not saying you believe this; but you are so wrecklessly tossing around the Holy Spirit's Name in conjunction with demonic activity, that a warning here is quite proper: It was so serious of a sin that Jesus told them flat-out "no forgiveness forthcoming" for even suggesting such ties/links.

I warn you: In God's Name, stop being so cavalier with your weak apologetics' efforts that you wind up so readily bandying out the Name of the Holy Spirit!

but you are so wrecklessly[sic] tossing

I'm so reckless. *chuckle* I'm also a crazy extremist Tea Party member and a serious prepper too.

You're on extremely dangerous spiritual ground here, Storm.

It's my reckless side. I'm known for it. Ask anyone.

I'm not saying you believe this...

but...

but you are so wrecklessly[sic]..."

but we're going to assume that you do... (because I'm so reckless)

I warn you: In God's Name,...

Moses is that you!!??

being so cavalier with your weak apologetics'

I'm reckless...but weakly so. I guess I should work out more. Maybe lift more weights and my apologetics wouldn't be so weak. But if my recklessness is so weak, how much trouble can I really cause?

The post I'm quoting from was so comical, there was no way I could take it seriously.

"but if you're going to accuse or insinuate" (even to make some attempted apologetic point) "that the Holy Spirit was operating as Satan or satanic hosts... ...duck! Look out! Forgiveness will NEVER be yours!"

BTW this doctrine that Colofornian is espousing here is just asinine. Even insinuating this will get you sent straight to hell...no forgiveness for joo!



yea...whatever.

Everyone back up! I'm going to recklessly press this post button!!

BOOM!
