You didn’t give me any clarifications whatsoever.

One of the things that drives me nuts about most Christians today is this notion of reading the Bible and interpreting it to support their own prejudices.

I can get 20 Christians in the same room and everybody is going to interpret the Bible the way want to.

And I don’t know what your quote has to do with meditation.

However, I guarantee you this:

If you sat for 20 minutes in the morning and evening and said the word Jesus to yourself in the mind, you are not going to be possessed by the devil and do evil things.

That is quintessential circular firing squad argument that is constantly thrown about, but doesn't stand firm on its own weak foundation.

God gave us His Word in clear, easy to understand, and thoughtful language. It says what it means, and it means what it says.

When He says homosexuality is wrong, a child could understand it.

People who will not accept His Word twist themselves into knots trying to say it doesn't mean what it says it says.

You arbitrarily accuse Christians of "interpreting it to support their own prejudices" and then offer zero Biblical evidence to prove this as fact. Moreover, you throw out the accusation itself in order to conform to your prejudices.

If I say that the Bible speaks about the armor of God and power and principalities on this thread, I have quoted Scripture.

You have pointed fingers using your own notions, not God's.

If you sat for 20 minutes in the morning and evening and said the word Jesus to yourself in the mind, you are not going to be possessed by the devil and do evil things.

You understand less about evil, demons, and possession than you do about Scripture. I pray you don't learn the truth the hard way.
