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?

I'll ask you the question - can you show me scripture to back up the fact that these activities are sins?

You are making the assertion that they ARE, unless I miss my guess, so please provide scripture to back up your position.

Lol, bad habit? Yes.

Sin? I can't say that, the Bible doesn't.

Now, your turn.

Heroin, sin? If so, please provide scripture.

Rob 3:10 "thou shall not shoot heroin up your vein"

Happy now?



That would be one of the things I listed that are not in scripture. So would be ok for us to have a little heroin fellowship?

If was at a brothers house and he was shootin it up, would you say It's ok brother it's not in scripture?

I got it mixed up, I was refering to sex acts itself when I post about bible speaking in general terms not the demon manifestation.
