So they don't fly around piloting UFO's?! Or do they?! Using human bodies that they possess!!

Believe that satan uses UFO to divert the unsaved to believing in "gods" for this new Age, that advanced tech/race will save us now...

believe also much of that stuff is sensorary , in that he makes them "think" they are seeing something there!

i agree with you, as the bible never tells us to go seeking after them, but we are commanded to oppose fight against them IF we are under "spiritual attack!"

Christians with armor of God on, abiding in jesus, walking in HS have NOTHING to fear them!

I disagree. The scriptures say the devil goes about like a roaring lion, seeking who he may devour. A lion is a very dangerous animal.

I have seen Pentacostal preachers challenge the devil, saying they would punch him in the nose. This is foolishness, the devil is a very powerful angel. He caused enemies to come down against Job, fire to fall from heaven, and a great wind to collapse his eldest son's house.

Jesus said we should pray that God would deliver us from evil. If we have to be delivered, this shows Satan and his devils have real power.

This is an area Christians should avoid. Satan just might show up and bite your arm off when you try to punch him. We should not make such foolish challenges, Michael himself did not dare make an accusation against Satan. We should always ask Jesus to protect us and deliver us from evil.

I am not saying satanis not dangerous/powerful, but AM saying that one Filled with the HS, putting on full armor of God, have NOTHING to fear by him attacking them, as God is for us, who can be against us?

Don't go looking to battle him or demons, but if need to, can be victorious over them IF the Lord has you to combat them...

Well, I don't think we should be afraid either, but we should maintain a healthy respect for the enemy. Challenging the devil to show up for a fist-fight is lunacy. I am not afraid of a lion at the zoo, but I would never climb the fence and jump in his cage with him.

God has promised to protect us "in his way", that is, when we obey his commands. But if we take it upon ourselves to challenge the devil when we have not been commanded to do so, we have a good chance of getting seriously hurt.

Also those that try and "bind" "punch" or do whatever to Satan have got ver ignorant theology. When Jesus was confronted by the devil He said "It is written."

This is nothing short of fantastical whims.

The Word of God is more than sufficient to help us in our warfare. Nowhere do the Scriptures teach us to arm ourselves for spiritual warfare with extra-biblical revelation.

satan nor any of his demons can ever actually possess a true believer in jesus, as we have been translated from kingdom of Devil to that of Jesus, have HS in us, and the MOST that he can do to one of us would be to get us to believe in his lies, bad theology, heeding seducing spirits...

battle is in our minds, as he can and will oppress us us if we are ignorant to his ways, but a person filled with HS/prayed up, walking in the truth of the Bible have NOTHING to fear from him, don't go looking for him or his demons, but do not walk in fear of him either...

Holy Spirit in us contrasted with spirit of antichrist in this world!
