Hi Davidjayjordan,Davidjayjordan wrote:…. He says he is from Colorado and does declare himself to be a CHRISTIAN. SO even though I won't respond to you anymore, I would truly like to know if you are a Christian, Bavarian Wheels. Whatever brand you like is fine with me, but would you call yourself or label yourself as a Christian ? A simple YES or NO would suffice. I always like to search for cause concerning the effects. Thanks.
Here is what the bible says about bodies:
1 Corinthians 15:39-40, “For not all flesh is the same, but there is one kind for humans, another for animals, another for birds, and another for fish. 40 There are heavenly bodies and earthly bodies, but the glory of the heavenly is of one kind, and the glory of the earthly is of another.” ESV
Jesus himself reveals this about spirits being in a different form than in a fleshly body:
Luke 24:37-39, “But they were startled and frightened and thought they saw a spirit. 38 And he said to them, "Why are you troubled, and why do doubts arise in your hearts? 39 See my hands and my feet, that it is I myself. Touch me, and see. For a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see that I have." ESV
Again, now onto regarding demonic spirit beings, these do not have fleshly mortal bodies complete with skeletal mass as the picture of the Montauk Monster shows. Demonic spiritual entities can co-inhabit a person. However, the creature in the photo could not co-inhabit a person unless it was some small micro sized parasite made to look huge. Back to the subject….
Jesus cast out demonic spirits - please note:
Luke 9:42, “While he was coming, the demon threw him to the ground and convulsed him. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit and healed the boy, and gave him back to his father.” ESV
Mark 5:7 -12, “And crying out with a loud voice, he said, "What have you to do with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I adjure you by God, do not torment me." 8 For he was saying to him, "Come out of the man, you unclean spirit!" 9 And Jesus asked him, "What is your name?" He replied, "My name is Legion, for we are many." 10 And he begged him earnestly not to send them out of the country. 11 Now a great herd of pigs was feeding there on the hillside, 12 and they begged him, saying, "Send us to the pigs; let us enter them." ESV
The Montauk Monster could be a carcass of a dog, raccoon, cat, or a left over prop from the movie “Evolution.” (see -- http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0251075/). Or maybe even a real unknown type of creature who lives in the mud of lakes and oceans — who knows —
But a demonic being???? In the light of the bible that deals with such beings — these do not have flesh and skeletal bodies.

Please do not come on this forum and insult us. If you do, then learn to take what you dish out. Some of your links were — well — not in good taste and these have come to our attention.
This may have been from you or may not have but it was reported that there was a link that suggested the Jewish Temple Plans had sexual tones to it. If that link was from you, then please understand why people are a bit testy with you. If not — then whoever linked this please be so kind a remove that link. I have not found it yet…
Lastly — learn to laugh and smile once in a while.
Life is too short to go around carrying a chip on one's shoulder and an ax to grind 'a restin' on the other…
