One of the many phenomena that really counters claims against Christianity are the numerous testimonies of people being delivered from supernatural demonic oppression by calling upon the name of Jesus."All who call out to the Lord will be saved." (Romans 10:13, CEV)Not only does it help prove that Jesus Christ is real, it also validates that the Bible is true.Why? Because the Bible tells us that we're in a spiritual war and that we need Jesus to overcome the enemy."For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." (Ephesians 6:12, KJV)"And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth." (Matthew 28:18, LSB)
>>41112664I've found that God has helped me throughout my life, not Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is not God. He's a fucking retard for saying he was God. Praise God!
>>41112664Yeah, but there's also plenty of religious people who go through multiple exorcisms over many years, sometimes to no avail. I don't think it's as simple as you put it.
>>41112686yes :( even the apostles werent able to exorcise certain demons just in the name of Jesus
It also counters gnosticism because if Jesus was sent to merely tell people that they are "divine" somehow and need to attain godhood, why would we need Jesus to overcome the enemy? The kind of lost souls who try to push gnosticism even try to deceive you into believing that God and the Bible are evil and false, so that you disregard them and don't acquire actual knowledge and wisdom so that you can live a life that is pleasing to the Lord and be blessed and saved. On top of that, the goal is also to get you to not use Scripture as a weapon against the enemy when engaging in spiritual warfare.Gee, I wonder who could be the author of gnosticism? The same author of all false religions: the devil."Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes." (Ephesians 6:11, NIV)
>>41112716anon can you pray for me please, you seem like a nice person
>>41112672Begone, antichrist.>>41112686Never heard of there being many cases of this. I wonder why someone would try to leave a disparaging comment like this without even citing examples? Could it be because they're trying to make seem Christianity less valid? I see through what you're trying to do, and so will anyone else with God-given discernment.>>41112710Some demons need extra spiritual warfare engagement:"Jesus replied, “This kind can be cast out only by prayer.”" (Mark 9:29, NLT)"But an evil spirit of this kind is only driven out by prayer and fasting."" (Matthew 17:21, WEY)
>>41112756I am not the antichrist. Christ loves me and I love him, I am above you because I know Christ is not God. God is far beyond being a mortal human. Make sense dude?
>>41112727Please tell me what's troubling you so that I can pray for you with more specificity."Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective." (James 5:16, NIV)
>>41112767"and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you heard was coming and now is in the world already." (1 John 4:3, ESV)"The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ, who is the image of God." (2 Corinthians 4:4, NIV)Please do not condemn yourself to hell by denying that Jesus is God.
>>41112756Yeah, I'll tell you my anecdotal evidence when you tell me your anecdotal evidence, and then we can end up back at square one calling each other idiots. You think churches keep public records of exorcisms? I don't know what you think you're trying to do but God works when He does, not when you tell Him to.
>>41112773im struggling with bpd, depression and suicidal thoughts. i also think God does not love me anymore because He doesnt seem to give me an answer to my prayers, and that makes me hard to get close to Him and go to church. i would be more specific but i dont want to reveal too much about me and i dont want to be judged either :( are you close to God?
>>41112773Ah... so that's your angle. You self-sure that you're a "righteous person". Ok. I know what demon is playing a prank on us now.
>>41112798Wrong. The Bible clearly instructs us to fight back against the enemy by using the authority and power that Jesus has given believers."And these signs will accompany those who believe: In My name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues" (Mark 16:17, BSB)You're not going to discourage anyone who is a true warrior of Christ. May the Lord have mercy on you for trying to discourage.
>>41112800Have you been reading from the Bible regularly? Do you pray to God to bless you with guidance and protection? Be careful not to pray in an overly selfish way. You have to trust the Lord and love Him with all your heart. And think about what He expects from you, and what your calling might be in life."And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose." (Romans 8:28, NIV)
>>41112794I love Jesus bro, Jesus has even said hi to me before. I love him much! Jesus is not God though bro. No mortal human is God.
>>41112819A deceiver would never confess Jesus as Lord and the Bible as truth."Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM.”" (John 8:58, NKJV)

>>41112800I said a prayer for you. God bless you."Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins." (1 Peter 4:8, NIV)
>>41112800Hello anon. The reason you don't feel answered is because there is some deep-seated doubt that has taken hold in you that your prayer will be answered.Strip the doubt so the signal can come in clean again.No fear.
>>41113000Those types actually come on here and try to deny Christ. It's not hard to tell that the enemy and his minions use this site to spread hatred, immorality, corruption, deceit, and anti-Christianity. I strongly advise browsing this site in general. It will have a negative influence on you. I just try to come on here to preach the good news. There's been times before when I've fallen away from the faith that I've used this site as a means to sin, such as through /soc/. Lord have mercy on us.
>>41112664There are testimonies of the same thing happening when calling upon Buddha as well and other religious figures. Its got to do with the belief that figure will protect you from evil. Thats why occultists have different methods protecting themselves from demons etc. too.
>>41113044advise against*>>41113064I've been researching spiritual matters for a long time now, and I have never heard of anyone being saved by "Buddah". In general, the huge number of people being saved by calling upon Jesus is staggering.Also, I'm reminded of this testimony now:I Grew up Buddhist, Demons Followed Me, then JESUS did thishttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FAsCMaqSrmY
>>41113064>>41113162Here's a man who used to be a long-time devout muslim no less.Muslim Encounters Jesus Christ on Hospital Bed"A devout Muslim of 50 years, Haitham Besmar was so committed to his religion that he actually memorized the entire Koran. However, he had a change of heart when he lay dying in a hospital bed. Jesus Christ came to visit this devout Muslim and told him something very important."https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LWlxnWV2klc
>>41113178Look at all of these comments underneath the video of former unbelievers now saved by Jesus. Praise the Lord.
>>41113162I've seen a few examples of it around the place every now and then but it's not as prevalent as Jesus saving people tbf. Like I said I'm pretty sure it has more to do with the belief these figures will save you which is what saves you similar to the energy bubble technique used by New Agers and other methods used by occultists. I don't put too much on the testimonials of ex-christian occultists on this subject either as a lot of the time they've never really stopped believing in whatever form of Christianity they were from to begin with. Not trying to disparage Jesus will protect you btw if it works it works
>>41113200Friend, why are you being so stubborn? Is there something holding you back from turning to Jesus and making Him Lord of your life?You know, it's not just that Jesus is real...but so is the enemy that the Bible warns us about:"Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour." (1 Peter 5:8, ESV)I can tell you from personal experiences that the enemy is no joke. He is a very personal adversary and he knows what your weaknesses are and will exploit them so that you will keep away from Jesus and live in sin and believe in falsehoods so that you're eventually condemned to hell with him. Please take this seriously.https://www.youtube.com/@TouchingTheAfterlife/videos
>>41113237Not Christian I've been called a Seeker before though. I'm not against Christians either just don't think their god is 'the god'. But if you want to believe that then it's fine and I hope your god blesses you and your family and friends.I came in here to give my theory from my own experiences amd understanding from what I've read about protection from demons.
>>41112884no, i used to pray, read the bible and listen to hymns and worship music kind of regularly, but i guess i just got disappointed from God not answering my prayers. i know it sounds rude, but i cant deny it, God knows how i feel. im just so scared of my future, i dont want to keep suffering, and i dont know what to do
>>41113008thank you so much, really. God bless you
>>41113027im scared that the answer will be the one that i dont want... maybe He already answered and ive just been ignoring it :( i need Him to answer me in a way that leaves no doubt that its Him speaking to me
>>41113371Try meditating and imagining gods light reaching down towards and around you to form a protective bubble that'll protect you from demonic entities
>>41113508thank you. sorry if this is too personal but has God ever talked to you? i mean TALKED talked, you know?
>>41113527Hopefully it helps you even a bit. As to speaking to god I've spoken to an entity claiming to be god. Whether or not it was lying is another question though.
>>41113564what did the entity say?
>>41113571It told me I needed to fit in. When I told it I've tried it claimed I was lying and sent hostile entities after me for a couple of days.
>>41113571It had the feeling of being everything and nothing at the same time
>>41113579>>41113581did u hear it while awake or were u astral projecting? and were u able to see it?
>>41113595I was AP and no I couldn't see it. It was the only time I've AP too
>>41112664>all gods are equal>there are thrones>Gods actually rely on human perception and thought>demon god of the evil people does Jesus psyop>demon god gets risen up to high throne >turns other gods into demons, plus also they are mad af so they seethe>other ones now to him and become servants of the demon god>can’t go back to paganism, can’t worship demon god, need to make new religion with frens>but gay and retarded so make Pokémon and jackolantern>still work and Mr. Clown becomes real and makes a spaceship to come get you>Jew notices so spaceship does random stuff to distract from itself (actually brings more attention to itself)>still haven’t told frens to meet up on Jupiter for the departure party >awien scawwy
>>41113622wow that sounds interesting. i wanna try astral projecting but i cant get past the part where ur whole body tingles and you have to "hop out" of it. what method did u use?
>>41113644It just happened I've tried to do it again for a few years now but I'm able to Astral Perceive though I'm not too good at that either. Have you tried the Gateway Experience Tapes?
>>41113653ooo ive never heard of astral perceiving, i'll look it up. also, yeah ive tried listening to the tapes but i always end up falling asleep lol. might listen to them again one of these days
>>41113680I find listening to two helps. I listen to free flow focus 10 then something else but that could be just me. Hope this convo has helped you anon
>>41113707i'll try that :3 thanks anon, i think this'll help me
>>41112664truthJesus Christ is incredibly powerfulrecently i was being tempted by a friend into doing something incredibly harmful and dangerous, he was likely under a negative spiritual influencei rebuked the temptations in the name of Jesus Christ and his mood immediately shifted, the temptations stopped and we meditated on Bible verses and quotes from saints and monksJesus Christ is Lord
>>41112664>>41112664Targeting = directed demonic oppressionPraying makes it go away. You have to literally sit down and literally pray the "Our Father prayer..." multiple times a day.
>>41112664> Great is the mystery,> God was manifest in the flesh> 1 Timothy 3:16>> The Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mighty> Zephaniah 3:17My brother in Christ speaks the truth.Absolute truth is Jesus Christ. It is not a hidden truth, but out in the open. Everything we need to know is in the Bible and most importantly, in a personal relationship in Jesus, everyone can build by asking for the Holy Spirit from God to be given to them. Our hearts and minds are renewed from sin by this. You only need to ask sincerely.We are not gods, but children of God, made in His image, though marred by sin due to Satan.But in Jesus, there is our salvation.Accept Jesus and be saved.Craziness of our governments is a combination of the madness of man, aka created beings that have deluded themselves into thinking they don't need a relationship with their creator and thus are doomed to die. And Satanic deception that yet permeates the Earth that desires our souls.You are cosmically important for the same reason that every human being is important.You are made in the Image of God, and He was willing to let His only son die for you.This is the Truth, what makes us special. Nothing that we do on our own makes us special, but love of God and a relationship that we have with Him.Jesus sets us free.Be Free In Him.Amen.God bless you, Shield of FaIth and all the /x/ anons. May you be filled with peace and joy.> Phil 4:8 > Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
>>41112844The bible also clearly instructs you to offer your firstborn up to yahweh so I'm guessing you sort of treat it like a buffet.
>>41113237> Psalm 6:5For in death there is no remembrance of You; In the grave who will give You thanks? > Ecclesiastes 9:10> Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might; for there is no work or device or knowledge or wisdom in the grave where you are going. > Isaiah 38:18 > For Sheol (the grave) cannot thank You, Death cannot praise You; Those who go down to the pit cannot hope for Your truth. > Psalm 115:17> The dead do not praise the LORD, Nor any who go down into silence. My brother in Christ, the afterlife is a false teaching.See:> The concept of the immortal soul was the result of pagan beliefs developed by Greek poets and philosophers. The Greek philosopher Plato fully developed the concept of the immortal soul, and this belief infiltrated the Roman Catholic Church and subsequently the Protestant churches.https://godsplanforall.com/free-online-book/part-iii/chapter-23-do-we-have-an-immortal-soul/
