Bible Question:
Acts 19:13 I guess you didn't understand the question? Exorcists "also undertook to call the name of the Lord Jesus over those who had evil spirits". Unless you are "Jesus Whom Paul preaches",or one of the apostles.. The power of casting out devils was bestowed by Christ while on earth upon the apostles, Matt. 10:8, and the seventy disciples, Luke 10:17-19 William Smith; revised and edited by F.N. and M.A. Peloubet, Smith’s Bible electronic ed., Logos Library System, (Nashville: Thomas Nelson) 1997. |
Bible Answer: You are absolutely right; I didn’t understand the question then nor do I yet understand the pertinence of the question even now, with respect to the Bible! Why should we have to know all of the ramifications of hypnosis in order to understand and study the Bible? Do you suppose that the Apostle Paul disseminated the message of hypnosis along with the message of the Gospel? 1 Cor. 2:1-5 And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God. [2] For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified. [3] And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling. [4] And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: [5] That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
