(John 13:27)God indwells in terms of the mind of man -- let this mind be in you; consider yourselves dead to sin (a way of thinking); be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind; we are of the flesh if we set our minds on things of the flesh and of the spirit if we set our minds on things of the Spirit.
jt: The above is mind control. I am talking about spiritual reality. God is a spirit. Satan is a Spirit. God indwells us by the Holy Spirit.Renewing of the mind is something we are responsible for.
Could it be that Satan's entering into Judas was a statement that Judas had set his mind on traderous activities while at the last supper?jt: He was into traitorous stuff long before that he was lying and manipulating the whole time he stole from the money bag.There is nothing in man to "enter" except his mind/heart.jt: Mankind are triune beings JD consisting of spirit, soul, and body (1 Thess 5:23). Spirit and soul can be divided by God's Word which is the "sword of the Spirit" according to Hebrews 4:12.In Luke, this entry took place when he had gone to the Jewish leaders -------- sometime before the last supper (Lk 22). Satan is not running in and out of the man's body. Rather, he flashes in and out of the thinking of Judas.jt: In John he leaves to commune with the Jewish leaders after he has taken the sop and this is when Satan enters into him. BTWSatan does not run in and out of anywhere. Once he has a doorpoint and is in he stays until he is forced to leave. It is error to believehe is merely a figment of someone's imagination.
