#1 We don't "operate" God's power. God is not a lightsaber we wave around. God is Almighty and not controlled by us.
#2 How do we know a demon is involved in the OP's situation? That is the point many of us are trying to make. It's not that we don't think the devil isn't working.
#3 You don't need to teach us God's Word. Some of us know God's Word quite well thank you.
#4 It is your opinion that everything is interpreted correctly.
#5 Maybe I missed it, but no one here has denied the accuracy of God's Word.
1) We absolutely do operate the power of God. God doesn't do everything for us. We have to take a stand, believe, and pray for things. If you don't pray for it.. it probably won't happen. We are not God's robots, he gave us free will. It is our choice to use his power.
I Corinthians 2:1-5
1And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God.
2For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.
3And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling.
4And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:
5That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
2) We don't know for sure, but they had doubts and thought it could be that. Since the thread went into the direction of people talking about power and devil spirits. I fashioned my post in that manner. EVERYONE else did the same thing.
3) I never said you didn't. In this particular thread there was a lot of inaccuracy. So on this particular topic, I took it upon myself to try and educate you. But if you don't want a teacher then that is your prerogative. Some people do / want someone to help them. It's your life do whatever you want, but stop trying to speak for people.
4) Point out one part that you don't think was interpreted correctly. All of my points were made with supporting scripture. Everything was backed up with clear verses from God's word. If you need evidence of Christ operating the power of God, then reread the gospels.
5) I never said you denied the accuracy of God's word once again. I happen to know the accuracy of the word on this particular topic so I endeavored to teach you. There is a lot of misconception in the Christian world today about the amount of power we have. Everything thinks the power died out after the apostles died. But there is no biblical substantiation for those claims and I don't use any outside sources to interpret the Bible but the Bible.
Nevertheless, my patience is growing very thin on these forums. I've tried numerous times to clearly outline the Bible to people who were confused on certain topics. Most of those times it holds no profit because people do not listen and are not meek to using the Bible to interpret the Bible. I GET NOTHING OUT OF THIS. I don't get paid to come on here and shed some light on certain topics. I do it out of love, because I am hoping that someone, somewhere, will be blessed by something that I write. That the true word of God would not be tainted by the interpretations of men. All I do is use the Bible to interpret itself, because that is the way God's word is most accurately taught.
You have stitched together verses from here and there, and have tried to build a teetering theology around it. You have failed. A lot of people here have great Biblical knowledge, seminary training, etc. and can see through the thin skin of error you have concocted.
