    Do demons have the authority Of God to oppress christians

    No, he did not. I'm not going to answer your questions as long as you misrepresent what the Scripture clearly says.

    Is the demon allowed by God to oppress the christian in this scripture 1 peter 5:8

    "Sceptable" is not a word in the English language. Perhaps you mean "skeptical"? "Separating" has one 'e' and two 'a's. It is not difficult to learn how to spell these words correctly. "Advice" is a noun. "Advise" is a verb. Finally, to your title question, "Is the demon allowed by God..."...

    Is Paul or Jesus your main guide?

    It would be so helpful if you would quote the Scripture verses to which you are referring, rather than paraphrasing them. That way we can all read for ourselves what Paul and Jesus are saying, and respond to that.

    Do demons have the authority Of God to oppress christians

    You are ignoring Revelation 20 where the devil and death are clearly distinguished from each other. No amount of bad grammar and bafflegab can undo this clear distinction. Satan is not death, and death is not Satan. Please, stop wasting your time trying to prove something that is plainly wrong.

    Should I force Sunday school on my son?

    I'd recommend you read Boundaries With Kids by Cloud and Townsend. Yes, take your child to church with you. No, don't tolerate the tantrums, and definitely don't reward them.

    Do demons have the authority Of God to oppress christians

    Read my post more carefully. When you understand what I actually wrote, you will not need to ask that question.

    You need to find a new purpose; this one is defunct.

    Do demons have the authority Of God to oppress christians

    There is always the hope that he will listen to Scripture where it clearly proves him wrong. ;)

    Do demons have the authority Of God to oppress christians

    "Death" is not referring to a personal entity. Wrong. The verses below clearly show that the devil ("Satan") is not death. Revelation 20:10 "and the devil [Satan] who had deceived them was thrown in to the lake of fire and sulfur where the beast and the false prophet were." Revelation 20:14...

    Do demons have the authority Of God to oppress christians

    Death is not a 'who'. Good! I look forward to it. I need the entertainment. Plausible, but unlikely. Perhaps you have a specific example in mind?

    Do demons have the authority Of God to oppress christians

    No, it doesn't. Jude 1:6 And the angels who did not keep their positions of authority but abandoned their proper dwelling—these he has kept in darkness, bound with everlasting chains for judgment on the great Day. Nothing in that verse mentions 'demons'.

    Do demons have the authority Of God to oppress christians

    You're welcome to challenge it... bring on the Scripture. No, it did not. Romans 5:12 Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all people, because all sinned Satan is not a demon. Really? Where is that in Scripture? You...

    Can a Christian be possessed?

    Under any kind of influence by a demonic entity, which may include oppression, deception, delusion, possession, or any other means. I use it as a catch-all and hope to avoid the angst that 'possession' causes.

    Can a Christian be possessed?

    Agreed. :) What many people conclude from that is Christians cannot be demonized, which Scripture doesn't state. I know from personal experience that the opposite is true. Scripture is not an exhaustive how-to manual, and I reject the Church of Christ approach that if something is not...

    Can a Christian be possessed?

    Certainly, but none of those people were Christians at the time, so those cases don't speak to the thread question.

    Goldberg says Holocaust wasn't about Race

    Sorry, did you say something? ;)

    Can a Christian be possessed?

    Because the term possession is guaranteed to raise hackles (for the precise reason that I addressed), I don't use it. I really don't give a hoot whether someone is "oppressed", "possessed", or merely "influenced"; my aim is to free the believer from the enemy. Perhaps if Christians would read...

    Kindly don't put words in my mouth.

    Generational Curses and Spiritual Oppression in Christians

    Generational curses have a basis in Scripture... 1 Kings 2:33a May the guilt of their blood rest on the head of Joab and his descendants forever. 1 Kings 11:39 "I will humble David’s descendants because of this, but not forever.’” 2 Kings 5:27 "Naaman’s leprosy will cling to you and to your...

    Can a Christian be possessed?

    You're employing the non sequitur fallacy; your conclusion does not follow from your assertions. While yours is a reasonable conclusion, it is not actually supported by Scripture. I wouldn't hold too tightly to any doctrine that cannot be supported by Scripture. It is better to hold tightly to...
