Do you not know that the man was out of his mind with catalepsy and Christ restored him to a Spiritual mind (RIGHT MIND)? Mar 5:15 And they came to Jesus and saw the demon-possessed man, sitting there, clothed and in his right mind, and they were afraid. Mar 9:18 Wheresoever it taketh him (hopou ean auton katalabei). Seizes him down. Our word catalepsy is this same word. (RWP) Act 16:16 And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain damsel possessed with a spirit of divination met us, which brought her masters much gain by soothsaying: But Plutarch (a.d. 50-100) says that the term puthones was applied to ventriloquists (eggastrimuthoi). In the lxx those with familiar spirits are called by this word ventriloquists (Lev_19:31; Lev_20:6, Lev_20:27, including the witch of Endor 1Sa_28:7). It is possible that this slave girl had this gift of prophecy “by soothsaying” (RWP) Deu 18:12 For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD thy God DOTH DRIVE THEM OUT from before thee. KJV Perhaps you are not aware of the fact that we are supposed to be entrusted with the GOSPEL and regardless of how you feel, we must please God by faithfully translating the WORD OF GOD. I am ashamed if that does not please you. 1Th 2:3 For our appeal does not spring from error or impurity or any attempt to deceive, 4 but just as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, so we speak, not to please man, but to please God who tests our hearts. 2Co 5:13 For if we are beside ourselves, it is for God; if we are in our right mind, it is for you. 14 For the love of Christ controls us, because we have concluded this: that one has died for all, therefore all have died; Hebrew-English (mashal) nm. proverb, parable, fable, adage, similitude, allegory; byword, like, parable, proverb.

Yes, don't you? Then why did you ask if it was a parable? Job 27:1 Moreover Job continued his parable, and said, 27:11 I will teach you by the hand of God: that which is with the Almighty will I not conceal. Job 12:9 Who knoweth not in all these that the hand of the LORD hath wrought this? NEWTON: For Newton, therefore, demons were figures for disordered psychotic states. The cases of demon possession in the Synoptic Gospels do not describe the activity of literal devils, but instead reflect the (mistaken) beliefs of first-century Jews. Newton goes on to say that to beleive that men or weomen can really divine, charm, inchant, bewitch or converse with spirits is a superstition of the same nature wth beleiving that the idols of the gentiles were not vanities but had spirits really seated in them. Newton laid the blame for the rise of the pagan doctrines about demons in the Church at the door of his ecclesiastical nemesis Athanasius. Later than Muggleton, but earlier than Bekker, Newton came to the same conclusion as both of them that the devil in Scripture was never the supernatural evil being of orthodox theology, and that all temptation comes from the lust of the heart: The logical corollary to Newton views on evil spirits is that those who claim to be tempted by a personal devil are deluded and provoked by their own fleshly imagination. Newton paradoxical questions concerning Athanasius,an important manuscript held at the Clark Library dating from the early 1690s, makes this clear. The evil then, is a symbol of lust and an vivid hypostatization of idolatry in aggregate. Stephen Snobelen, Lust, Pride, And Ambition: Isaac Newton And The Devil pages 7, 8,9,10,11,12 November 2002 Early Bible fundamentalist Unitarians and Dissenters like Lardner, Mead, Farmer, Ashdowne and Simpson, and Epps taught that the miraculous healings of the Bible were real, but that the devil was an allegory, and demons just the medical language of the day. Much of the popular history of the Devil is not biblical; instead, it is a post-medieval Christian reading of the scriptures influenced by medieval and pre-medieval Christian popular mythology. 1. Originally, only the epithet of "the satan" ("the adversary") was used to denote the character in the Hebrew deity's court that later became known as "the Devil." (The term "satan" was also used to designate human enemies of the Hebrews that Yahweh raised against them.) The article was lost and this title became a proper name: Satan. There is no unambiguous reference to the Devil in the Torah, the Prophets, or the Writings. 2. T. J. Wray, Gregory Mobley The birth of Satan pp.66-68 3. has been erroneously interpreted by some to mean Satan, "the Devil", but such is not the case. The Hebrew Bible views ha-satan as an angel ministering to the desires of God, acting as Chief Prosecutor. Carus P.

28 | God, brings wicked to destruction | 2 Tim 2:15 | heman | 233923 | ||
Have you been dispised by failing to know that God is the Destroyer? But You, O God, will bring down the wicked into the pit of destruction; Ps 55:23 The Sons of God are all Angels and one of them was appointed the task of being an Adversary to test Job. Job 19:21 Pity me! pity me! ye, my friends, for, the hand of GOD, hath stricken me! Job 15:23 He wanders abroad for food, saying, Where is it? He knows that the day of darkness and destruction is already close upon him. Job 26:6 Sheol (the place of the dead) is naked before God, and Abaddon (the place of destruction) has no covering [from His eyes]. Job 33:18 He holds him back from the pit [of destruction], and his life from perishing by the sword [of God's destructive judgments]. Ps 55:23 But You, O God, will bring down the wicked into the pit of destruction; men of blood and treachery shall not live out half their days. But I will trust in, lean on, and confidently rely on You. Prov 13:13 Whoever despises the word and counsel [of God] brings destruction upon himself, but he who [reverently] fears and respects the commandment [of God] is rewarded. Prov 27:20 Sheol (the place of the dead) and Abaddon (the place of destruction) are never satisfied; so [the lust of] the eyes of man is never satisfied. [Prov. 30:16; Hab. 2:5.] Is 13:6 Wail, for the day of the Lord is at hand; as destruction from the Almighty and Sufficient One [Shaddai] will it come! [Gen. 17:1.] Jer 17:18 Let those be put to shame who persecute me, but let me not be put to shame; let them be dismayed, but let me not be dismayed. Bring on them the day of evil, and destroy them with double destruction. [see Jud 1:12 These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots; Rev 20:14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.] Ezek 38:16 And you shall come up against My people Israel like a cloud to cover the land. In the latter days I will bring you against My land, that the nations may know, understand, and realize Me when My holiness shall be vindicated through you [vindicated and honored in your overwhelming destruction], O Gog, before their eyes. Hos 13:14 Should I ransom them from the power of Sheol (the place of the dead)? Should I redeem them from death? O death, where are your plagues? O Sheol, where is your destruction? Relenting and compassion are hidden from My eyes. [I Cor. 15:55.] |

33 | led by the Spirit or by the adversary? | Bible general Archive 4 | heman | 233896 | ||
Who should you believe, led by the Spirit or by the adversary? Why does Matthew leave out HOLY Spirit and just say "spirit" and then says, "tempted by the adversary" Mat 4:1 Then, Jesus was led up into the wilderness, by the Spirit, to be tempted by the adversary; Whereas Luke properly says, "led by the Spirit" and omits "adversary". Luk 4:1 And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was "led by the Spirit" into the wilderness," Luk 4:5 And, leading him up, he shewed him all the kingdoms of the inhabited earth, in a moment of time. Matthew says he fasted "forty days and forty nights" Mat 4:2 and, fasting forty days and forty nights,—afterwards, he hungered. Whereas Luke agrees with Mark and omits the forty nights. Luk 4:2 forty days,—being tempted by the adversary; and he did eat nothing in those days,—and, when they were concluded, he hungered. Matthew says "an exceeding high mountain" Mat 4:8 Again, the adversary taketh him with him, into an exceeding high mountain,—and pointeth out to him all the kingdoms of the world, and their glory; Luke does not see that as important and leaves out, "an exceeding high mountain" Luk 4:5 And, leading him up, he shewed him all the kingdoms of the inhabited earth, in a moment of time. Matthew adds the words, "Withdraw, Satan!" Mat 4:10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Withdraw, Satan! for it is written,—The Lord thy God, shalt thou worship, and, to him alone, render divine service. Luke does not include the words, "Withdraw, Satan!" Luk 4:12 And Jesus, answering, said to him—It is said: Thou shalt not put to the test the Lord thy God. |

Please feel free to follow-up with an additional question or note. Why don't you try addressing the scripture instead of using reverse Psychology to answer a question with a question, thereby avoiding an honest answer? 2 Pet 3:16 Speaking of this as he does in all of his letters. There are some things in those [epistles of Paul] that are difficult to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist and misconstrue to their own utter destruction, just as [they distort and misinterpret] the rest of the Scriptures. |

That WAS a question and who are you to tell me which to select? Futhermore you need to address the POST and not the POSTER! So, then, why does BRUCE say, "The everlasting fire does not necessarily imply perpetual existence of the individual. The furnace in the parable of the Tares consumes the tares as waste. From the point of view of that parable, the wicked are the waste of the moral world, and they are cast into the consuming fire, not so much to punish them, as to get rid of them. How far the category of waste can be properly applied to human souls is a question of the same sort as that which ask, Can a being endowed with freewill fitly be compared to clay in the hands of a potter?" These points are noticed by Weiss, vide Das Matthaus-Evangelium, S. 539. The Kingdom of God, BRUCE Who do you think the tares are? What do you think will happen to them according to the Bible? Especially, when Jesus says, how often, would I have gathered thy children, and ye would not." Mat 23:37 KJV The everlasting fire is, not less than the other figures, only a symbol, as appears from the fact that, taken literally, it excludes from the region of possibility the " outer darkness." All these figures are the products of the religious imagination, and express in sensuous terms the intense conviction of the enlightened conscience as to the blessedness of being good and the misery of being evil. Dives wished one sent from the dead to give a glowing description of the place of torment to his brethren, that they might not come into it. But our Lord represents Abraham as replying, " If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded though one rose from the dead." The theme of their preaching was righteousness here and now. Christ meant to teach that he who has no ear for their doctrine cannot be made a citizen of the divine kingdom by the terrors of hell, however vividly depicted The Kingdom of God, BRUCE |
