Bible Question: I have trouble with the "name it and claim it" idea. Does anyone else out there feel the same way? If this is scriptual,what am I missing? |
Bible Answer: I sure have a problem with it. It sound a lot like magic to me. A manipulation of God that obigates Him to do something because of the words of your spell, even if they are His words used out of context. Sound like the devil tempting Jesus. name it and claim it and these stones will become bread, Matt 4:3. Or like Simon Magus trying to buy control of the Holy Spirit's from the apostles. Acts 8:9-19 |
