even when the demons called Jesus the HOly One of God???
Even though the demons were right their testimony was still rejected because i think we are never to accept their testimony nor to be in any kind of relationship with them.

well, there go the only “relationships” i have…

😃
 
where in the Bible does it say that once you are saved, you are always saved??

It isn’t there… i’ve read the New Testament several times over…
Well to offer just one instance, John 6:

“47 Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes has eternal life. 48 I am the bread of life. 49 Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died. 50 This is the bread which comes down from heaven, that a man may eat of it and not die. 51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven; if any one eats of this bread, he will live for ever;”

If we believe, we have eternal life. If we could lose eternal life then it wouldn’t be eternal. If we have eternal life then we don’t suffer the second death, that is, damnation.

If we eat Jesus then we will live forever. Not might live forever, or could live forever, we will live forever.

Eternal life isn’t just a promise of something we’ll get in the future; it’s something we already have.

Well, this is a personal opinion. In fact, even the demons can testify to Truth. Pontius Pilate and the Jewish High Priest, both of whom rejected Jesus, testified to the Truth.

You can refuse the testimony of you wish.

The fact is that we are in a relationship with the devil and his minions. They attack any of the children of the one who gave birth to the One who saved the world from sins.

Then why did Jesus Himself reject their testimony in Luke 4:34-35 where we have this event:
34"Let us alone! What business do we have with each other, Jesus of Nazareth? Have You come to destroy us? I know who You are–the Holy One of God!"

35** But Jesus rebuked him**, saying, “Be quiet and come out of him!” And when the demon had thrown him down in the midst of the people, he came out of him without doing him any harm.

Don’t include me with your gang. You may have a relationship with them but i don’t. 👍

Don’t include me with your gang [we all have a relationship with demons]. You may have a relationship with them but i don’t. 👍

:
NO human being is exempt from satan’s designs… I feel you are being disengenuous by saying this… No one said antyhing about choosing demons to be in our lives… Demons come in when we open the door of our souls to them… and we do that EVERY time we sin…

You could be (key words) sinning (therefore influenced significantly by demons) by not accepting Catholic teaching… Christ established ONE Church and it didn’t pop into existence in the 16th century…

God knows you have heard enough of the truth… So what gives?

Jesus rebuked them because they knew who He was, and He was not ready to have this published. They were telling the absolute truth. Just having Him there was enough to disturb them, an He does have the power to destroy them. He IS the Holy One of God! They spoke the truth.

Your unawareness of this fact readily explains your unwitting complicity.
