Re: Yes!
And who here is the arbiter of what the teachings of Christ are suppose to mean?
​
We have numerous members here whom, I'm sure, "think" they are true Christians...but many of them have differences of opinion on just exactly what the teachings mean.
​
It all comes down to "I'm right, you're wrong" whether this is expressly stated or not.

Re: Yes!
I take this to mean that you believe YOU are filled by the Holy Spirit?
​
(Of course YOU would know whether or not it was the "true" spirit and not a demon spirit)

Re:
And, I know that I'll hear from them for this. But, throwing God out successfully with the help of the federal court system, throwing God out of the public square, out of the schools. The abortionists have got to bear some burden for this because God will not be mocked. And when we destroy 40 million little innocent babies, we make God mad. I really believe that the pagans, and the abortionists, and the feminists, and the gays and the lesbians who are actively trying to make that an alternative lifestyle, the ACLU, People for the American Way -- all of them who have tried to secularize America -- I point the finger in their face and say, "You helped this happen."

Re: Yes!
Yet you stated that people can be filled by a demon spirit that makes them think it is the holy spirit.
​
How do you honestly know that you aren't being deceived. Those that are demon spirit filled must think they are following the "true" spirit also.

Re: How should we understand Scripture?
I don't think anyone thinks there were no original manuscripts. What has been said is that we don't have them now to compare anything to.
