From the comments at the link:
"Some of the Christian arguments do seem weak, yes. However, the fact that commenters, even here among the wise and good, misrepresent what is actually believed by Christians should give the undecided and the agnostic some pause. If Mere Christianity is so obviously wrong, why do its critics describe it so inaccurately? Wouldn't it be sufficient to criticise the real article? Do they not apprehend what is said? Are they intentionally lying? Is there a laziness in thought? I don't know, but in discussions such as this it seems the most obvious fact in evidence, whatever the explanation."
That was where Joseph Campbell really lost my respect. If he was going to be so inaccurate about the Christian "myths" in his own backyard, how could I trust what he said about myths from around the world?

I happened to read about the Gadarene swine in Mark 3 this morning before coming across this piece, which mentions it.
David Clements mentions Michael Cocchini. A quick internet search tells me that they've worked together before, and that a different Michael Cocchini--and a Susan Clements--went fatally missing in the Smoky Mountains. At separate times.
Feels like a rabbit hole.
Much like Jonathan Cahn connects the major demons of ancient Israel to today's United States, Clements says that the spirits of the Nephilim are here and active.

A couple months ago, I put a piece of paper on the fridge--our Scammer Prayer List. We were often getting multiple scam calls per day, and while probably none of them told us their real name, God stills knows who they are and where they live, and He surely has something better for them to do all day than bother people like us.
Two names went onto the list, and these scammers were duly prayed for--they still are--and suddenly the number of scam calls dropped, by a lot. The list still has only two names on it.
The Bible says that "the gates of hell" will not prevail against Christ's Church.
A boomer apologizes, albeit without much clarity.
"It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs," Jesus said; Matthew 15:26.
I recently understood that I am spending my life in rebuilding spiritual and practical foundations that had been foolishly undermined by previous generations.
