Louisville Question

[Jennifer Smith]

Gerald, to finally answer the questions you raised,

1) Having spiritual eyes opened to see a spirit does not mean it has a physical "body"....
2) Why could a demon not be that large? We are made a little "lower" than the angels....
It is your inference that it was proportional to the size of the city, is it not?
3) Territorial spirits= commonly accepted concept. Not sure I follow you here....do you not believe demons are at work in the earth? Then who do we battle with? Eph 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh F18 and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
4) Demons have a hierarchy or structure even while they have conflict with one another. Like corrupt politicians (or the mafia!)....
5) adding to scripture or allowing God to expound upon what God has revealed to us in scripture, these are not the same things.

All the things you quoted him as saying can be supported by scripture, IMHO as long as you don't infer or read more into it than what he says God spoke to him.

I understand that so many preachers do add to scripture, and that is wrong, but I'm not sure if this statement qualifies. I'm also not sure Pastor Rodgers is perfect, I'm sure quite the contrary. I hate to see him get very mixed up with TBN as there seems to be a bad trend there...

NEway, that's just my two cents.

And there you have it; the main reason that Pentecostalism is full of aberrant doctrine, heretics, WOFFERs and cults.

The main reason is that people read in more than they should. As you are reading in too much to what Bob Rodgers said.

I am reading into more than he said??

I am???

I am only asking question questions or drawing conclusions from his claims.

THE MAIN thing YOU should be asking is:

WHY didnt Jesus tell us Demons could be as big as Godzilla?
Why didn't the Apostles tell us about City ruling demons or give us guidelines to detect and address them?

Why didnt they tell us that demons "spiritual" bodies get bigger the more powerful they are?

None of these facts assertions can be made from scripture.
