In our study of Mark we are now in Mark 1:23-24; where we see Jesus teaching with authority in the synagogue and while he was teaching a demon screamed out at him through a demon possessed man so we have taken up a study of demon influence and demon possession.
When we left off last time we saw that demon doctrines are what God gives people who are residing in the cosmic system and have locked in negative volition from locked in arrogance over to. Rom 1:20-32;
The unbeliever is protected from both demon influence and demon possession by the laws of divine establishment. Bible Doctrine protects the believer from demon influence.
Only "The Truth" can keep false thinking and false doctrine out of the soul. If the believer only understands the laws of divine establishment, there is some protection but not enough because the greatest victims of demon influence are believers without "The Truth" who Satan distracts from the PPOG into some system of human good production in the energy of the OSN. John 8:31-47;
The Cosmic System is Satan's Classroom for demon Influence. Cosmic one emphasizes preoccupation with self in the various categories of arrogance. Cosmic two emphasizes antagonism toward the truth of God's Word and being an enemy of God.
Weather they know it or not, anyone who is not functioning under the filling ministry of God the Holy Spirit is in one of the two cosmic systems. Cosmic one is based on Satan's prehistoric sins that are connected to arrogance.
If the sins of arrogance are allowed to continue, it is inevitable that the believer in cosmic one will become an abnormal person. And once this abnormality sets in, there is a system of locked-in arrogance that totally rejects or distorts truth because of the satanic propaganda that leads to self-deception.
