Shouting at NAYC

The issue is the "literally shredding the air molecules" concept. You can't shred molecules of air with the human voice, and even if you could, it wouldn't do jack to hurt the devil. If it could, you could likely punch him in the face with your hand.

There is something called sonolysis which makes use of a process called cavitation, which can cause the destruction of various chemical bonds between larger molecules, none of which include air molecules. However, none of this even matters, as even if sound waves could destroy molecular bonds regarding the air, it still wouldn't affect the devil or his minions.

Sound waves can be used in all sorts of ways to destroy things. Sound weapons are being developed by militaries. But so what? The weapons of our warfare are not carnal, i.e. not the flesh, i.e. of the natural, material realm.

Shouting in worship only has the effect it has because it's one tool in the spiritual arsenal of our warfare. It's not the sound waves created, but the use God makes of our obedience in doing it that causes Him to deliver or render victory.

I can scream louder than most anyone I know, if I was put to a contest. This doesn't give me victory over sin and the devil. The blood of the lamb and the word of my testimony does.

CHECKMATE!!!!

Exactly! It is pure sensationalism. My goodness. It totally breaks my heart! And now how many churches are going to, which already do so, put a larger measuring stick on your personal walk with God on how loud you are in a service. It's already happening.

I said this on the other thread about this blog - he's a self admitted "post modern". The name of his blog is designed to draw younger apostolics in so he can feed them poison.

Shouting is Biblical.

Stoneking is... not my cup of tea.

Next?
