Re: [TruthTalk] Blessing vs Curses

[Judy Taylor]

Two categories JD

 

1.  Blessing  (listed in Deuteronomy 28)

2.  Curse (listed in Deuteronomy 27)

 

You need to study these two chapters and get some clarity about these issues JD.  It is God's Word

not mine.  I've noticed that the ones who criticize and complain seldom have even one spiritual gift

operating through them let alone nine.  How many more do you need and where are you going to

conjure them up from JD?

lust in the "category" of SIN, not demonic possession.  Why not spell out, plainly,what your rules ("categories") are concerning the various levels of discomfort  --  from curse to sin to demonic possession and what is recognized as a part of these categories.   I don't see it in my bible studies.

And you ask why I think you and others are legalists.   Only a legalist would even think this way, IMO

.I know that I do not look for lists or formulas.   the "nine spiritual gifts" is not a complete list  --  but legalists treat that list as if it were intended to be a definitive statement on what is available in terms of "gifts."  And so we have the theology of a legalist  --  steeped in the "rational" and logical, full of lists and formula's and dispensations and the like.

Why are you so focused on the "demon" aspect JD.  I say - according to Deuteronomy 27 that cancer

belongs in the category of "curse" rather than "blessing" - would you agree or are you under the impression that

cancer is a blessing from the Lord?  Once we get things in the right category then we should ask ourselves where

this is from since all GOOD things come from above from the Father of Lights in whom is no degree of shadow

or turning.  If it is not good then it does not come from the Father above - So where does it come from - where

is it's origin - and why is it there??  That is if you are interested.   judyt

I am sending this to TT as an illustration of a Christian having to deal with a physical issue that some would credit to a demon spirit.    

 

Judy seems to think that any "evil" is the result of a demon  (i.e. "demon lust").   I am thinking that such a general definition of a "demon" might prevent some from identifying a true demon possession.
