Hi Prozacman. I like Fox because at least they're not afraid to report stuff the others censor out for ideological reasons. They are, to a point "fair and balanced."
I hear what you are saying and certainly I can't be sure about anything, but I do believe the power of demons is very great and yes, one or more possessing this old fella could be the source of his power to live beyond. This likely raises another question, being "how do you discern between the good and the evil. My answer to that, in case you're about to ask is that the Bible and the Holy Spirit do that. If it's not scriptural that cancels out the good. From there, there's a gift of the Spirit listed among the gifts called the "discerning of the Spirits." Demons are known to quote truth, scripture and even say good things about Christ, but it's what they say about him or refuse to say that gives their ruse away.

Do you have any evidence to back up your claim?
No, admittedly, I don't Rrhain. The off the cuff statement was based on my observance that Fox is outside the more politically correct establishment media and tends to cover the conservative as well as the liberal views a lot more than the other networks. I do know that most conservatives, prefer Fox for that reason.

Rrhain, this topic is not about media. I made my opinionated statement and I don't know why you're trying do do an off topic page on media. Let's get back to topic.

Re: The Evil Power of Supernatural Inventions
Science copmpletely ignores the supernatural.
Yes, we know, like the proverbial ostridge with head securely buried in the sand.

The immeasurable present is forever consuming the eternal future and extending the infinite past. buz

You ignored me the first time I asked you to address this.
Please respnd, and explain how a supposed "fair and balanced" news organization can call itself a "part of the military team"?
It's called getting back to topic. Let it rest.

Of course, you engage in Confirmation bias again, because you ignore the centuries of endorsed violent treatment of non-Christians by Christians.
You also ignore the terribly violent Old Testament.
You ignore the fact that both Christianity and Islam have their roots in Judaism, which the Old Testament shows us was a very, very warlike, "kill-em-if-they-don't-believe" culture.
1. I haven't ignored any of these atol. I've repeated over and over in these forums, the fact that nowhere in the entire Bible are Christians given the permission or advice to persecute or kill anyone and those who do so are disobeying the fundamentals of the Bible concerning what is allowed for Christians. I've also explained that any OT God sanctioned killing was disignated to a specific nation for a specific purpose in a specific time in history so as to establish a kingdom of God on earth, some day to be headed by a messianic king over the whole planet. Thus the restoration of the nation of Israel in our time for that purpose.
2. According to the latter chapters of Revelation, the kingdom of evil which involves Satan and his demons which we are discussing here in this thread will be totally suppressed for a full millenium of messianic world rule, effecting upon earth a utopia of peace, health with long life and prosperity. This is also prophesied by several OT prophets.
3. For some reason, known only to God, the prophet John in Revelation 20 states that these evil entities will again be allowed a short time of respite upon earth before they are cast into the eternal lake of fire to be tormented forever and the earth will be burned up and melt. A new heaven and earth void of evil will then be created with the redeemed of earth residing in what is called the NEW JERUSALEM where the streets of gold, pearly gates and river of life will exist for eternity beyond.
4. This all indicates that likely this earth was made to effect the demise of evil in the universe and we humans are caught up in the warfare between good and evil in the universe. Our only hope in this dilema is that which God has devised for us, via redemption through the propitiatory or substitutional sacrifical death of the God given sacrificial lamb, Jesus, the only born son of God who died in our place that we might receive eternal life as the justice of God has been satisfied.
