I have to take off for a while, but I'll be back on later.
Don't think I'm running from the conversation - I will be back!

I'm leaving too...and I am running from the conversation.
I hear you, bro.
I've been watching the conversation with a combination of intrigue, amusement, fascination, and disgust.
I think I'm gonna need to have my barf-bag handy... just in case the conversation really starts to go south.
....Or maybe I should say further south.

Yeah, I got to go too.
But would like your thoughts of testimonies by ministers who have cast out sex spirits that testify they have seen the demon demostrate the sex act during deliverence?

The most deadly sins do not leap upon us, they creep up on us.

Well, these types of stories hold no merit, in my opinion. I can relate a story that a friend told me that someone else told him, too, but it doesn't make it fact.
Is there any scriptural precedent for this happening?

Like I posted earlier, bible speaks in genereal terms, but do feel specific things fall under those terms.
Kinda like there's no specific scripture against shooting up heroin or smoking dope. The bible not going to say everything.
Bible teaches that if we we should discern good and evil. If everything is spelled out in chapter and verse, why need discernment?

This is a cop out, in my opinion.
We claim to speak when the BIble speaks, and be silent when the Bible is silent, but really, that's not the case.
We excuse our traditions and preferences, even if there is no scripture to back them up, with this broad statement.
We say, "We speak in tongues, because that's how the apostles did it!"
And, "We baptize in JEsus' name because that's how the apostles did it!"
But, when I ask if there is scriptural precedent for people simulating sexual acts when demons are cast out, you say "The Bible only speaks in general terms"? Copout, no offense intended.
THe BIble is extremely specific about what is sin, and what is not sin.
And the fact that it's silent on these issues that we are discussing is the only point I"m trying to make.
We can't make sin what the Bible doesn't make sin.

Anwer this for me:
Is smoking a little dope sin?
Is going to casinos gambling sin?
