That's like saying, "If we can chew something and then swallow it, then it's nutrition."
No. You are overgeneralizing.
You are confusing psychological habits called idolatries with the greatly more intense pagan worship and identification with actual powers and principalities in league with satan and warned against in the Bible.
Will probably buy the book.
That said, thread conversations go where they go, not where you want or intend for them to go. You know that.
Their own spirit becomes subordinate to the satanic demons in possession of their body. They in turn are cut off from God and by extension Jesus and all the Angles.
America is a God Worshiping Nation. Standing together with the Jewish peoples in Israel our holy lands from the Bible.
The mental illness and the pedifiles passing this Scourge into our children are doing Satan’s primary role by cutting off from the tree of life, one soul, one branch, and thus not only passing homosexuality into the generations but dividing families and even nations.
It is the destruction of the child’s soul by adults committing unclean and becoming as the beasts separated from Man’s dominion over animals.
Since then I've bought several copies and given them away, one to our minister who responded that "Michael Heiser could possibly be the best theologian of our time". Though good, he sadly hasn't become "the rare honest preacher" you referenced. How I long for that.
As I said upthread, a lot of preachers know that if they told the unvarnished Biblical truth from the pulpit, their congregation would run for the hills screaming.
And since the Bible is the Truth, it is upsetting to think people aren't getting the straight scoop about it.
Jonathan Cahn is absolutely correct in that America and the world are under "demonic" attack from many directions right now. Istar/Asteroth is one goddess particularly active in the U.S. right now with the LGBTQ movement.
And there are others...many others.
one in every crowd...
It’s a self-contradicting translation. And it’s a very poor translation. I suspect that whoever did the translation felt uncomfortable with divine plurality here.
