I have been around deliverance ministries since the 80s when the book "Pigs in the Parlor" made these things famous. I have watched brothers close to me pretend to growl like demons while others prayed over them to be delivered from demons of lust, and etc.. They confessed that they were acting...

Crash Course: Jesus was born of a virgin because He was God manifested to us as a man to walk out a holy life and teach us about who the Father was and what he expects of us. Then he died on the cross to pay for our sins. ... wait, let me add something you will need to know before I go...

People can make themselves feel things like that from emotional hype. Why does feeling weak in the knees or fainting make one think "Wow.. that was the Spirit of the Lord?" Oh yeah? What was the Spirit wanting to do for you? Make you pass out? To what purpose? While they were in a state...

Yes sexual sins are mentioned and also I see other things that are warned against as I read through 2 Peter and Jude: 2 Peter   9then the Lord knows how to rescuea the godly from trials and to keep the unrighteous under punishment for the day of judgment,b 10especially those who follow the...

If you are for real, then here is my advice. 1) Google "Assemblies of God Churches near me" or "Spirit Filled Church Near Me" or "Nondenominational Church Near Me" or just "Churches Near Me" and see what comes up. (Assemblies of God are world wide even in Muslim countries and are full of...

Yes. If anything the message of 2 Peter and Jude deserves more preaching. And the message is not about Nephilim. There is something far more relevant to our daily lives in these two books.

19Do not quench the Spirit. 20Do not treat prophecies with contempt This means do not treat prophecies in the church with contempt. If a brother steps out in faith to prophesy, do not quench it by shutting him down and saying we don't do that here. It's odd how people will take this and...

Maybe it is the description of that realm they are bound to. It is quite plausible. That this is about all of fallen angels, but not all of the angels is as plausible and probably more likely than your theory that it is about a subset of fallen angels. You are adding to the statement to say...

If they could do that they would still be doing it. So what is your theory as to why they don't do it now?

I think I know what you mean. But not sure. When Paul quoted an Epicurean poet the fact was true even though the pagan poets writings were not inspired. But if Enoch 1 is being referenced, to make a point, is the point about judgment or about angles/women. I haven't read Enoch 1 enough to...

I would need to reference some Greek Scholars I respect like Gordon Fee and see how he explains the Greek in Jude. While I am working on that. I would like to add that even if Jude was quoting Enoch 1 I am not convinced that Jude or Peter thought that Enoch was inspired or from Enoch. Maybe...

New International Version In the very same way, on the strength of their dreams these ungodly people pollute their own bodies, reject authority and heap abuse on celestial beings In the same way Is used more than once in Jude. Notice that the connection is that all of these examples of...

Laughing is not one of the rules of hermeneutics. You have to present your case with reasons. He could be. Your statement does nothing to prove that he is not. It is simply an opinion you have. New International Version And the angels who did not keep their positions of authority but...

Are you willing to admit that satan and demons have limitations enforced on them by God? We can call them limitations if you like. Boundaries. whatever you prefer.

Of course he is free to tempt and influence people to sin. But we also know that he is bound by limitations as to what he can do. He is on a leash so to speak. Chains of darkness. But hey brother. I love you too. And I say this to you in love and with a desire for you to know the...

I don't know what you are trying to communicate.

I had no background in the bible, religion, or these discussions. I was in jail when I first read a bible given to me by the Chaplains office. No study bible, just a plain bible. No one to teach me or talk to me. When I first read Gen 6 I understood it to mean these were people. "sons of...

What does that even mean? Looking at the majority of English translations and looking at the Interlinear of the Hebrew I think it is clear that the Them is Sodom and Gomorrah, They is the cities around Sodom and Gomorrah and the These is Sodom and Gomorrah. Both Peter and Jude are talking...

I could be wrong. I am making assumptions that their choice to follow Lucifer is common knowledge of the readers of Jude and so when he writes And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment...

When satan rebelled, and when the angels that left their first estate followed him in his rebel ion. It happened sometime before the temptation of Eve. I don't know exactly. I don't think anyone does. He was able to use the serpent before it was the serpent as we know it. He was not able...
