NNTR:
Luke 8:27-39
27Now when Jesus stepped out on land, He was met by a man from the city [of Gerasa] who was possessed with demons.
For a long time he had worn no clothes, and was not living in a house, but among the tombs.
28Seeing Jesus, he cried out [with a terrible voice from the depths of his throat]
and fell down before Him [in dread and terror], and shouted loudly,
“What business do we have [in common] with each other, Jesus, Son of the Most High God?
I beg You, do not torment me [before the appointed time of judgment]!”
29Now He was [already] commanding the unclean spirit to come out of the man.
For it had seized him [violently] many times; and he was kept under guard and bound with chains and shackles,
but he would break the bonds and be driven by the demon into the desert.
30Then Jesus asked him, “What is your name?” And he answered, “Legion”; because many demons had entered him.
31They continually begged Him not to command them to go into the abyss.
32Now a large herd of pigs was feeding there on the mountain.
The demons begged Jesus to allow them to enter the pigs, and He gave them permission.
33Then the demons came out of the man and entered the pigs;
and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and was drowned.
34When the herdsmen saw what had happened, they ran away and told it in the city and out in the country.
35And people came out to see what had happened. They came to Jesus, and found the man from whom the demons had gone out,
sitting at Jesus’ feet, clothed and in his right mind (mentally healthy); and they were frightened.
36Those who had seen it told them how the man who had been demon-possessed had been healed.
37Then all the people of the country of the Gerasenes and the surrounding district asked Him to leave them,
because they were overwhelmed with fear. So Jesus got into the boat and returned [to the west side of the Sea of Galilee].
38But the man from whom the demons had gone out kept begging Him, pleading to go with Him; but Jesus sent him away, saying,
39“Return home and tell [about] all the great things God has done for you.
” So the man went away, proclaiming throughout the whole city what great things Jesus had done for him.

Ephesians 6:12
For our struggle is not against flesh and blood [contending only with physical opponents],
but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this [present] darkness,
against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly (supernatural) places.

The tail is not meant to wag the dog, its meant to be the other way (i.e. the dog be wagging the tail), however, though as we know it, our parents (i.e. A&E) and the serpent succumbed to the influence of Satan malevolent spirit, God already had in store the gifts of atonement for sin, reconciliation back to Him, redemption of souls and salvation of souls

It didn't occur in a village.Moreover events like this do occur in urban areas.

Onyiiobi7735:
Bundle of trash . The spiritual controls the physical.A lot of things happening in the human world have already been approved and arranged in the Spirit World.

I remember a case in my place in 2018 where a woman dreamt that her only child died, and she didn't do anything about it, spiritually.
A few months later, the woman took her son to the farm to get vegetables.
There is a river where the farm is.
She was not attentive enough and her boy wandered off and fell inside a ditch by the river and died.
He didn't die immediately though,but was crying "Mummy, Mummy" for a long time, and by the time she paid attention, and searched for the boy,he was already dying.
Some people came and brought him out and soon he died.
The river where this happened is a hot spot for marine spirit worship.
So stop ranting and bleating.
Witches,marine spirits, wizards occult group exist .
Stop writing rubbish over what you don't know and understand.
Only fools think that way
The spirit doesn't control the physical,as you rant ,yet the Church of Satan exists in California.
Lol! Many blacks are cursed with a block head mentality.

Johnycastro18:
sorry, which biblical character?

HISSCRIBE1995:
RELGION AND FAITH ARE NOT EXPRESSLY THE SAME, ALTHOUGH FAITH COULD BE USE TO REFER TO RELIGION BECAUSE RELIGIOUS ACTIVITIES REQUIRES FAITH

Johnycastro18:
I object, I believe the spiritual controls the physical

Whatever happens in the physical has in a way been control in the spiritual...
Saying the spiritual doesn't exist is quite laughable

Amotolongbo:
Na the physical dey control spirit

HISSCRIBE1995:
RELIGION IS THE NOT SAME AS FAITH ALTHOUGH IT TAKES FAITH TO BE RELIGIOUS .
MEANWHILE RELIGION AND FAITH COULD BE USED INTERCHANGEBLY BUT EACH HAS ITS OWN UNIQUE DEFINATION.

HISSCRIBE1995:
EM GLAD I WROTE THIS FOR HIS SAKE

MindHacker9009:
So those signs were just for entertainment at that time because the people at that time were not wise.

MindHacker9009:
The signs will prove that Jesus is the one that sent them and that they are not just deceivers.

DREAMHOMES6970:
Please rational response guys.

Most of our Top fathers in the Christian faith have different beliefs in the faith... As regarding "Christmas celebration" I recently watched an old video of kumuyi (deeper life) strongly expressing his disbelief to Christmas celebration as he said it wasn't biblical while another top father in the faith Adeboye (Rccg) believes well in Christmas celebration.... I believe both men of God serve and always hear from the same God but why the different beliefs ?

MindHacker9009:
Mark 16:15,18
15 He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.
18 "They will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all”

Boomark:
And Gal 5:21 told you it shouldn't be used to correct women?

Light and empty head darkness have nothing in common.

Boomark:
I like the way you are exposing his ignorance. Imagine the lier saying he wants to rephrase your question before he answers. The guy is walking in darkness and an agent of darkness with the way he is encouraging sin and wickedness.

Boomark:
What do I have to do with an illiterate? You are here to defend fornication, adultery and wickedness of female gender. Hellfire is waiting for you and the women you are deceiving, Gal 5:21. Oya go and remove it from the bible make I see.

Serendipity2023:
Christianity, at least in Nigeria has failed abysmally and has been replaced by hypocrisy and pretence.

If Christians means those that live like Christ, then there are almost no Christians in Nigeria.

This is seen in our greed, corruption, avarice, desire to cheat and hurt others etc.

If you do business with a typical Nigerian you will understand this. It's even worse with the pastors.

I once upbraided Ladipo Motor Parts men who closed shop to pray one morning.

This is because I know there are no honest traders amongst them.

They would easily cheat you even if you you were their mother.

They care not. It's all about the money. So why the pretentious prayers?

Prayers without efforts to lead a good life.

Love for humanity transcends over every other law and he that doesn't love doesn't know God.

See Mark 12:31 and 1 Jonh 4:8.

This greatest message of Christ has been deviated from and is no longer being preached.

It's now all about prosperity and material possessions.

Today, the pastors, priests etc are just there for the money.

The early apostles lived communally and cared for one another.

If you aren't rich today, the leaders of the church won't bother about you.

Dtruthspeaker:
Your laughing face already shows that you know you are lying and that it is wrong. I can also do that to your question but we know that it would render our posts senseless.

So clearly answer the question or continue dodging it

Dtruthspeaker:
You did not answer my question. Answer mine and then I'll answer yours.

Recently, different opinions have emerged as to whether the church was right to dedicate Linda Ikeji's son or not.

Let's look at it this way. God is holy. The alter inside the church is a sacred place where things are supposed and expected to be done in accordance to God's holy nature else such alter runs the risk of losing its sacredness and power when defiled.

A child Born out of Wedlock is a product of fornication that the church preach against. The baby per say, is innocent but the situation sorrounding its conception is sinful.


Now, is it biblically right or not to dedicate such babies on the sacred alter of God inside a church?

Boomark:
This has shown that you are truly a lier and a deceit with too many empty and contradictory words. You don't even know how to follow simple instruction, how much more bible instructions. Maybe you don't really understand English. Or you are just doing copy and paste, and cannot answer specific questions. Or maybe you knew you have goofed already and want to use too many words to cover up. You can't deceive me incase you don't know.

I am done with you. I don't have time to waste on someone who can't follow simple instruction. Such people cannot learn, they can't teach, and don't really know anything. What I wrote for you last time is simple and straightforward, if you don't understand it bye bye.

Dtruthspeaker:
Is your Law of Faith not still a Law? If anyone breaks it do they not break The Law?

And you are still dodging the question Where can you find a case of person being judged wherein he did not break a Law?

Dtruthspeaker:
I have tirelessly countered you yet you do not listen. Where can you find a case of person being judged wherein he did not break a Law?

Boomark:
Now let me tell you. Everything you have been typing are just useless.

Will I say you don't know how to use english words.

Go back to where you started and we will take it step by step. You write a lot of contradictory things to confuse people and yourself.

Go and check the meaning of the word only/alone and agree to what you wrote in the picture below that only belief in Christ will take people to the kingdom of God. No too much words, simple answer and I ask another question for clarity. You are going to teach me now.

Dtruthspeaker:
I am annoyed because you are a twiisted liar. Every reasonable person can see that you are lie and insult me which you have been doing since I complained about it and it is not about your vain speech of lake of fire..

You already know that you are qualified and headed there hence your meed for delusions.



Yet you could not counter them but resorted to insults and ltwistings and personal attack. See more Lies.



See fraud. So that's why you have been abusing and lying against me. You are looking for how you can change your argument. E no work lake of fire food.

Dtruthspeaker:
Stop lying. If I have never presented a straightforward argument, you won't be insulting an ad homineming me.

You would have attacked my argument but because you lost and I have burst your bubble of self deceit is why you are now lying and attacking my person..

Which is all you are doing and what you are seeking to do.

Dtruthspeaker:
Why don't you ask me directly what I believe in relation to the topic rather than going round and round lying against me because I attack your self deceit?

Boomark:
Obviously those people who believe that believing in Christ alone will guarantee them entry into the kingdom of God are the ones 1 John said are living in darkness.

If it is just belief in Christ, then the sin you are talking about doesn't matter. Why do I need to worry about any sin when my belief has guaranteed me heaven?

Why do I need to obey any other commandment when I have belief only guarantee?

1 John 2:4
If someone claims, “I know God,” but doesn’t obey God’s commandments, that person is a liar and is not living in the truth.

If you think you know him or believe in him but have refused to obey his commandments, you are a lier and you are wasting your time. This is another warning. His commandments is that you must walk in the light as he is light. ]/quote] no one is disputing this one.
But all I'm asking is, show me where John said, since he is liar for not keeping the commandments, therefore he has lost his salvation?
[quote]So after the Israelites looked at the Moses serpent and were saved, they later disobeyed God again and again, did the serpent guarantee their salvation or were they punished again and again?

Shebi only serpent and nothing else can save them till eternity?

Should Abraham disobey God's commandments after believing him, he will see the consequences.

Moses believed God but disobeyed his commandment at some point, that was why he didn't enter the promised land.

As you can see what you are teaching is not supported by the scripture.

How can you be talking about believe only and still add forgiveness of sin to it. In other words if you don't ask for forgiveness of sin, your belief is useless. If you don't obey God's commandments your belief in Christ is useless.

Belief in Christ is the first step and after that you must obey his commandments to stop walking in the flesh because those who live in the flesh will not inherit the kingdom of God, Gal 5:21.

I cannot say I don't sin but I don't go in adultery and sexual immorality and hope that my belief has covered me.

I don't maltreat an innocent child/maid thinking my belief has covered me. I don't practice wickedness, lying, hatred, and anything I want, thinking my belief has covered me. Those who do these things will not inherit the kingdom of God. I aim to walk in the light as God is light not in darkness.
