    I’m not sure how I feel about this. I believe that demons can possess people and interact with the environment around the people who they are attacking. And I agree that we should pray for demons to leave. But I’m not sure I agree with physically anointing things with oil, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s one of those things where the “how” can be debated but the trust in God and the end goal cannot.

    Here we go, one of the most controversial issues to date. I believe this is the biblical way to view this.

    If this is still too sketchy, admins, let me know, I’ll take it down.
    Chris LaSala made a video about spilling seed on the ground (see Genesis 38:9) that shouldn’t be talked about on the site and the post got flagged. But I believe the topic is important, so if the admins allow it, I’ll try to preserve as much of this as I can.
    I partially disagree with Chris’s take. I agree that demons COULD be behind this sinful act, but I don’t believe that every single time someone does this it’s brought on by a demon, sometimes it could simply be the lust of the flesh but not controlled by satan and his demons. I also agree that 99.9% of the time it is a sin, however, I think there are unique cases where, for example, someone goes into the military and can’t have intercourse with their spouse and they do this to thoughts of them specifically, I don’t think that would be a sin. I know that it’s extremely niche and most of the time people that perform this act are not in this situation but I think it’s disingenuous to say that 100% of the time it’s a sin. I also disagree STRONGLY that if you spill your seed, your salvation is in question. We all struggle with sin, and sometimes we have sins that we can’t overcome no matter how hard we try.

    This is one of the first Chris LaSala video that I will say that I agree with almost everything he says. I disagree with Chris’s seemingly Calvinistic view of predetermination/election (I believe that from God’s perspective He knows where we’ll go, who will accept Him or reject Him, but He hasn’t made these decisions for us, He gives us free will and ALLOWS us to make choices, no matter how much those choices emotionally grieve Him) and the this-is-the-objective-truth language, but if you get past that and just hear what he’s speaking about, it’s GREAT teaching.

    I think that numerology in the Bible is cool and good and I think that God can and DOES speak through it, but I’m not sure what exactly it does other than a specific message for individuals and to be a cool Easter egg for Bible readers to find. I also am a little turned off by this guy’s KJV-only vibes, but I won’t hold that against him, KJV is great.

    Hmm, I’ve never even thought of this topic before. Very interesting.

    I would love to pick these guys’ brains on this stuff. It’s so interesting to me.

    I actually didn’t know about this.

    This is everything that I argue for in one video.
