Demons
What
have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God?
Matthew 8:29
The
devil and the world of demons must face Christ. The devil tried to do business
with Him, but the Lord dismissed him: “Get thee hence, Satan.” The devil is not
in the first two chapters of the Bible or in the last two. Thank God for a Book
that disposes of the devil!
There
is no concord between Christ and Belial. The demons cried, “Art thou come to
torment us before the time?” They are doomed to the lake of fire prepared for
the devil and his angels. They are overactive today because their time is
short. The only power that can control them is Christ. Much that goes by other
names today is really the work of the powers of darkness. And note that they
know Jesus is the Son of God, a fact which many poor humans will not accept.
Our
Lord has no traffic with the world of demons. There is no ground where they can
get together. Let us beware of doing business with the devil. And if you don’t
want to trade with him, stay out of his shops!

RULES OF THE ROAD:
1)The Names and Titles of God our Father and Jesus Christ our Savior will be respected at all times.
2) Discussion is encouraged, however, respect for other people and their opinions is the rule---play nice.
3) No profanity, allusions, innuendos or just plain nastiness will be tolerated. Decency WILL prevail.
This is MY house and YOU are a guest here and differences of opinion will be tolerated as long as you conduct yourself accordingly. If "the exercise of civility is beyond your ability" or you were never taught by your parents, feel free to take your toys and go home and vent your pent-up anger elsewhere.
