RE: Lying Spirits

in #steemchurch7 years ago (edited)

You gave a very detailed response and a vague testimony at the end. I want to thank you for that @brickler33 :)

As for my reply to this post itself by @prime-cleric, my main point is that when reading this article, it does not seem to give peace or purpose, but simply aknowledges the danger of demons. When pastors or deacons or Bible study leaders speak about this, the closing points directly point back to Christ by briefly explaining the gospel. That way the infinite love of Christ and the truth of his identity as good is preached, and people are offered a gentle hand to repent or come up for prayer.

In this article, it ends with both a warning about false prophets and teachers, but also a small statement about finding the real Christ by reading the Bible.

So my question of the reason, motives or purpose has nothing to do with the doctrine of the writing, more the style and way it's presented.

My input here is simple. When you talk about demons, or lies, give people a joyful, and positive reason why they should listen to your warnings. Don't just say "hey! Demons exist, and they are lying to you! Go read the Bible" and then drop the mic there lol

You could add "but good news! Jesus has the power to cast out demons, and rebuke them." Or just say something about Christ himself.

One objective of being a Christian (regardless of denomination) is to reconcile people back to God. To represent Christ in all we do and say. So I'm not criticizing, just trying to lovingly correct.

Sort:  

Thanks for your great responses, but I purposefully ended this teaching, pointing to a scripture, proceed further with Mat 24 to reconcile with the Return of Christ.

I am but a signpost, pointing the way.

And May Our Father in Heaven Above Bless You For It @sonofthunder!!! Thank You. Sincerely, Servant of Yeshua 7
