I guess I don't see the confusion. Your home is your home. If you're not comfortable with someone being in your home, you simply make it clear to them WHY you don't and you don't allow them in. I don't really it as a Theological issue.

With that said, I think you might want to use language more precisely. You started off by saying that this person was "demonic" and now it turns out that he's apparently a Christian who has some beliefs that you just don't happen to agree with. That's very different than someone being "demonic".

Have you told your cousin that his claim to be a Christian is an outright contradiction of what he claims he agrees with Oprah and Tolle with?

Oh, (sarcasm alert), that will really knock his socks off.

Tell him to hit the road or your local law enforcement agency will get to try out that new pepper spray formula. He can send you a letter should he ever care to have an adult conversation.

It wasn't meant to be a Ned Flanders type response, Lord knows I am FAR from that brand of Christian. But an actual real question based off of his own claims.

Good point. I tend to agree.

Tracy,

Was this event an isolated incident? Or, did you give this example as typical behavior for him? If it is an isolated incident, it might be difficult to justify keeping him out.

Is the term "demonic" a euphemism for an emotional outburst on his part? That is to say, did he merely get loud and frighten you? Or, is there something truly supernatural going on here? He may just be theologically "out-to-lunch."

But since you are a woman, I assume he is bigger, and since obnoxious and frightening behavior in someone is something you don't want in your home, I understand your fear. I think you mean "scary" behavior?

Oh my!! Good thing your husband was there! I would not let him in the house again.

I am asking how do we as Chrisitians talk to people that we think are "demonic'? how do you ask nicely for them to leave your house if they offend you? what do you do if they refuse? Become combatant?

I have a cousin that is coming over ALOT. This was after he seen Oprah's video here and said he agreed with her. we had a huge debate. I disagreed and we looked in the Bible, he left. He keeps coming back.

Saying things like "there is other ways besides Jesus"

Ok. but you got to leave here. I don't want to debate that with you. It is turning into he wants to rasie his hands over my children and say things I don't understand, I try to stop him and he says "I;m just playing with your kids.

Last night, he came back and hugged me said he loved me, I said I love you, he said It ain't easy to give up, I said sin is never easy to give up,

He jumped up , his eyes got bulged, He screamed" ARE YOU TELLING ME I SIN?


I got scared. Jumped up, I have never seen anything like that.


My hubby came into room and led him out.


I ws shaken, but i and my hubby are wondering, what should we do now.

do we stop him at door,

Tell him plainly he is not welcome

What?

any verses?

To answer some of the questions. Yes, anyone to me that denies Christ is "demonic" Yes, he keeps coming over. Now he scared my neighbor, asking them do they believe in spirits? Raising his hands and saying strange words, my neighbor, who is over 6'3 knocked on our door and was like you gotta get him. He was spooked!

now add his crazy self to alot of my family members who are in love with BO, Oprah, and think Rev. Wright is the best pastor ever!

All of a sudden, they want to come argue or convince me I'm crazy.

I'm going nuts trying to explain that this is not right, none of it. Stop looking at their color! They are wrong!


I told the one that I am not comfortable with him coming over, saying strange words, he said EVERY person should bow to the black man!


Weirdo, he also will not stop coming. He's acts like he does not get it.

When I try to say well it's against my religion, he says I'm a preacher. You are refusing a Christian!


Where's the cops when you need them


Henny, good video! LOL!! I needed that laugh this am.
