Bible Note: Hi justme, In your other post you spoke of "God's power through the Holy Spirit". What is the "power" that was used to cast out the demons in Matthew 12:28? We can not say along with the Pharisees that it was a demonic spirit because that would be blasphemy. Could we say however that it was a holy spirit that cast out the demons? Could not we say that He cast out demons by the power and spirit of God? Matthew 12:28, "But if I cast out demons by the *spirit of (God), then the kingdom of God has come upon you." Luke 11:20, "But if I cast out demons by the *finger of (God), then the kingdom of God has come upon you." From the heart, Ray |
