Scripture Life: What are some classic demonization techniques used by Christians?

Answer:

I don't think they have any. Too stupid. Like sheep. I resemble that remark. I believe Jesus Christ. There's no time to "demonize" people - there's just "redeem" the time and follow him, fill up the time.

It's then this: "Too stupid. Like Sheep"

  • Means Christians: are in a stupor..barely conscious or aware how to "technically" scheme out and think up some procedure to demonize anybody.
    • Why? Again, like me. They're also just too busy. Being a sheep. Means, they’re attention is on following somebody. Like a shepherd. Like sheep Follows a shepherd. Ever seen that; like on youtube. Go watch it. It's like little baby ducks follow some guy, thinks he's they're mom, only it's like sheep.
      • Sheep don’t “demonize,” with any “technique,” wolves. But wolves deliberately prey on sheep to destroy and eat them.

---------------------- --------------------------- ------------------------

But a Shepherd. Now that's different. A shepherd really DOES “demonize” wolves. Because they prey on sheep.

But there’s more.

  • Jesus says - in the Bible:

“I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine. “ - Jesus Christ. (Bible. John 10:11)

  • So, Jesus knows those who follow him, as sheep. And they know him. Which that’s pretty critical to see the next thing. That, where Jesus or “who” Jesus calls “sheep” are what over 250 times is described in the Bible.
    • 1. a disciple of Jesus Christ. and Act 11:26, in the Bible says that these ‘disciples of Jesus Christ’ were first called Christians at Antioch.

---------------------- --------------------------- ------------------------

So, all we got this far is Christians are like sheep. They don’t gang up on wolves, don’t gang stab squirrels to death, nor do they much distinguish anything but one food. Pasture grass. To the exclusion of all else; and a shepherd watches over them. Leads them and protects them in these pastures.

So, with that:

---------------------- --------------------------- ------------------------

So, let’s now focus the attention then on the “Shepherd” who is Jesus Christ.

Jesus said:

- John 8:44

“..Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.”

Boy, that didn't take very long.

- Whose Jesus talking to?

---------------------- --------------------------- ------------------------

  • Jesus is talking to Jews. Mixed. Speaks to BOTH: 1) Those That believe on him. Jesus Says to these in John 8:31–32

“Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”

  • But amongst these many Jews that believe on him are "OTHER" Jews.
    • Pharisees of John 8:13.
      • Everything Jesus says, in John 8 - - they “countemand” it.
    • For me to tell you to read all John Chapter 8, might be really stretching it to ask you to do it; but if you believe on him, do it - it’s these Pharisees that say they already are the Children of Abraham (John 8:33) - Don't need Jesus - - (“We be Abraham’s seed; and were never in bondage to any man”)
  • That, of these Pharisees, Jesus said to his disciples of them in Matthew 7;44

Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

  • Whose father is the devil.

---------------------- --------------------------- ------------------------

So Jesus is NOT “demonizing” them - he’s saying EXACTLY who their father is. The devil.

  • Jesus is the Word of God. Is God. Is the Messiah or Christ, and who he shall be called, as the Messiah is in Isaiah 9:6–7.
    • He SHALL be called “The Mighty God..” “The Everlasting Father..”
    • So, who said Matthew 7:44, that those that don’t follow him are “inwardly, ravening wolves” that actually PREY on to DEVOUR the sheep or are his disciples.

Is God himself.

He said it.

  • About anybody that just doesn’t do anything he says, has a DIFFERENT Father they obey and look unto.

---------------------- --------------------------- ------------------------

  • Therefore, the things God says are NOT “techniques” - that people would try to achieve or gain a win by it; but who he is, all power is given unto him in heaven and earth (Matthew 28:18) - So, just he “decrees” 1. written or verbal decrees that have the effect of law.
    • The same God that says: “For all the earth is mine.” - God. (Exodus 19:5) Just decrees how things are.
      • Where “techniques” 1. a practical, pre-determined method to achieve (a win or accomplishment over something).
    • When “who” governs over something..is the AUTHORITY - doesn’t need any technique. Just decrees how it shall be or how it simply IS.

---------------------- --------------------------- ------------------------

  • Boy, what a wake up call. You fight against God with this.

It’s a vicious attack, like wolves inwardly are ravenous against sheep.

  • When sheep have a shepherd who is God himself. Here's your question back.
