Stupid things religious people say
RE: Stupid things religious people say
Popular theologian, Derek Prince, who might be dead but his daily radio programme is broadcast around the world in various languages, tells us about the ways demons enter the human body so that if we recognize ourselves in them can go and seek the priest to heal us.

Quote:How do demons come in? How do they gain entry to human personalities and lives?

The first one is what I call occult background. Somewhere in your family history there has been involvement with the occult. And so if your father, your grandfather, or your great-grandfather, or some other corresponding relative was involved in the occult, or a false religion, or idolatry... then there is an opening into your life for evil spirits. You might say, That's not fair! Well, the truth of the matter is: the devil isn't fair.

The second way is through personal occult involvement. I think every kind of occult practice is included. For all who do these things are an abomination to the Lord. So many Christians just play with horoscopes and then think there's no harm in it. If you'd played with horoscopes under the law of Moses you would have been put to death. That's God's estimate of that kind of involvement.

The third is what I call prenatal influences. Things that happen while you are still in your mother's womb. And many people have an evil spirit enter them in that phase of their life. A mother resents the baby she's carrying in her womb. Maybe she wasn't married and it's going to be an embarrassment. [Gee, I wonder who told her being unmarried is an embarrassment] Or a woman is pregnant, may experience some kind of a shock a moment of fear. She yields to the fear, the spirit of fear enters her has two options: It can stay in the woman or stay in the infant in her womb.

Number four, soulish domination. Jewish Mothers are the perfect example of what I am talking about. I have met successful businessmen, bank presidents and people like that, who never developed in emotional maturity because they still were tied to their mother's umbilicus. The fact is your mother is a witch.

Number five. Pressures in early childhood. So where there's an atmosphere of strife and disharmony between the parents, it generates a condition in which the children will be automatically exposed to demon influence. I would say more than ninety percent of children are incapable of keeping them out. My observation is that eighty percent of demon problems have started in a person's life before the age of five.

Number six, moment or place of weakness. It can be emotional weakness, it can be physical weakness. A woman has only one child and that child dies. She goes into depression and stays in it for years. She has opened up to the spirit of grief which is a very powerful spirit. Or a person may go to a pornographic movie and some kind of sex demon will enter, a demon of lust. But you won't get delivered until you confess the sin that opened the way for the demon.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

The two most common demons with them are in relation to doubt and homosexuality.

It's basically a demon-of-the-gaps approach.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

Since freaking when did Christianity ever assert women were equal to men ?

I would argue Sikhism is way more pro gender equality then Christianity

Derek Prince warns us about the demon of masturbation.

Quote:Some psychologists and people say masturbating is healthy. I just don't even argue about that. But I know there are thousands of people who do it and hate themselves for doing it. And every time they say ‘Never again, ’ but it never works. They are enslaved. And there is a demon of masturbation. It's very common. Let me tell you right away: It has certain specific manifestations. What will happen is the person's fingers will begin to tingle. So many people say: What's the matter with me? My fingers are tingling. And sometimes they go stiff and they bend right backwards. And I just whisper in their ear: Your problem is masturbation. Renounce it, claim the cleansing blood of Jesus and get rid of it. But it's very stubborn. Many times people have to actually shake it out of their fingers in the Name of Jesus, to get rid of it.

Seems to me that if your fingers are what's tingling, you are doing something wrong.

Some psychologists and people say masturbating is healthy... are psychologists not people??

Never underestimate the power of very stupid people in large groups

Arguing with an engineer is like wrestling with a pig in mud ..... after a while you realise that the pig likes it!

Probably wanks until he gets blisters. All that projection.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
