I don't know what to  make of Padre Pio because I am not Catholic.  But he appears to have performed genuine miracles of healing and cast demons out of people, as well as having the Stigmata.  I searched a lot online for any Protestant views of him and I found hardly anything.  Why is that?

Don't forget that Jesus said if satan casts out Satan (in demonic possession) that is blasphemy of the Holy Spirit.  And yet we see Padre Pio doing this, so that cannot be demonic if it's true.

If you believe that Pio was demonically influenced or used, how do you explain his exorcisms?  What do you have against him?  I am not interested in the Skeptics' analysis of him, because I have read all the literature and their explanations are wrong.

That's not what Jesus said...    he said attaching the work of the Holy Spirit to satan was blasphemy.    If satan casts out satan, then satan can't win in the long run.   However, I might just add that I have experienced demons leaving a person by someone who was not spirit filled, just to spoof the person to thinking they had authority they didn't possess.   It ended up badly for both the exorcised and the exorcist.

I won't go into what I think about the Catholic way or exorcising someone, but it's not biblical.   Humans have no authority in the spirit world at all.   When we deal with the spirit world we do so with the authority of the Holy Spirit within us....   or we don't do it with authority at all.

Jesus said that if you equate a demonic possession with devils casting out devils instead of God doing it, you have blasphemed the Holy Spirit.  I'm really sorry, but when you say, "that's not what Jesus said" either you misunderstood what I already explained or you are attempting to disagree with me for some odd reason.

Some anecdote about a person that is not supposed to be "spirit filled" (Whatever THAT means!) attempting to do an exorcism that failed really isn't evidence at all, it is some eyewitness testimony only that could be mistaken.

It's interesting to me that you talk about the Holy Spirit being within Christians which basically just means you contradicted yourself.

I'll be up front and honest with you - your response addressed nothing in my OP.

Your response makes no sense and has nothing to do with what I said and the topic of the conversation here.

I don't know his views on Jesus. Jesus said I never knew you to those who will say we cast out devil's and work miracles in your name. If he worship Mary that would be a red flag.

I do not believe in people exhibiting a "stigmata".  They take Paul's words about "bearing the marks of Christ" and twist them to a lie and claim that they "bleed".

That's not what Paul was talking about at ALL!!

I didn't say that, but it doesn't matter much.  Mary worship is always a bad thing to me.

Oh, I didn't mean you were saying it.  I was telling that others say it.

    • Exhortation - October 24, 2024

      Albert Finch posted a blog entry in Albert Finch Ministry,

      You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • The Simchat Torah War -- Is this a Water Breaking Moment of Revival?

      George posted a topic in Biblical Topic Videos,

      George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      George posted a topic in Study Group,

      Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2

      George posted a topic in Study Group,

      Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
