There are NO verses in the Bible saying "religious spirits"!
That is why this doctrine is FALSE and invented by "Christians" and i call is as a heresy.
I REJECT everything what is NOT in the Bible..even if "christians" come and preach me these FALSE doctrines. God commanded us to reject heresies ..so I do.

" The Spirit of "
The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of the LORD there is no denying that. It is the Breath of Life. Then there are the �other� spirits. The ones that are under the influence of the destroyer. These are what is commonly called in western culture the �Spirit of Religion��that�s��Re�~�Legion��
Jhn 10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
*** Thank you LORD that you have come that they might have life�and that they might have it more abundantly !!!...All praise and GLORY to you!!!
Luk 11:52 Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered.
*** They kept a very strict �religion or law� and by doing so kept those that were thirsty for knowledge / righteousness in �bondage� !!!
The spirit of Bondage -
Rom 8:15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
*** Thank you Abba�we have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear�we have received the Spirit of adoption�We are in You�We are Yours�and We will not Fear nor be brought into bondage!!!
Spirit of Divination -
Act 16:16 And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain damsel possessed with a spirit of divination met us, which brought her masters much gain by soothsaying:
Spirit of Jealousy -

*** Thank you LORD Jesus for Your Spirit of Truth shows the spirit of error�the words �spirit of religion� is not found in Scripture. In Scripture we find the names of the �spirits� associated with certain ailments and these ailments run rampant in the Church�If you know what it is and what it is Called�it can be cast out. Many today call it the "spirit of religion" because it is not a true Biblical religion...

*** Hope this helps in answering your question�Luv ya�xo
Its all in the Bible VERSAVIA. You havent looked hard enough thats all. You so easily are ready to call something heresy when you in fact you obviously havent been studying Gods word very thoroughly or you fail to have a teachable spirit. Dont be so quick to call something heresy unless you know for certain that it is. Satan came to devour you and without the knowledge of his full character and all the spirits he presents himself as you are going to fall. I pray you are quick to learn and not quick to speak up but just listen in the future. You owe me an apology.btw

Godsjude:
Right there you explained the terminology! But yet AGAIN it is over looked and rejected by the one who is a "know it all". Versavia is indeed infallible!!! :ROFL:
Noone ever said it was a "religious spirit" but a "religious" spirit. It is the NATURE of religious spirits. You even went through all the various demonic spirits( nature of spirits which ARE religious) God has listed but yet she wants it spoon fed to her because she is on milk.
I read her profile and she is condemning smokers to hell. She doesnt understand that eating too much which is called gluttony is compared to smoking! So I guess all fat and chubby people are going to hell too because they are putting a strain on their hearts. She clearly suffers with a religious spirit herself! She doesnt understand scripture explains itself. I also think there may be a communication gap here because of the different countries we live in and versavia is not understanding western terms. Either that or she simply refused to READ thoroughly what is written.She has done that many a time Ive noticed.
I dont particularly care what she has to say anymore. I have tried many times to get her to see and I shake the dust off my feet. I will no longer strive with her. I can understand asking questions to fully understand. I would openly embrace that. But when someone comes in in error and condemns teaching true to the scriptures and does so over and over again; I will no longer contend with them.
So versavia if you are reading, you are on notice. I will not answer you when you speak nor will I entertain any of your posts. When you ask for forgiveness I will reconsider. I forgive you for your harsh words out of ignorance. Gods grace to you

*** This is EXACTLY what Christ Jesus spoke against of the High Priests�, Pharisees� and Sadducees��He called them Hypocrites�in todays Western Culture this is called the �Religious� Spirit�and is the same as saying �Hypocrite��just in a nicer way... :winksmile: ...
What does God have to say about this? He says if we arent guilty of the same thing then yes we can JUDGE.
Im teachable. I learn from my mistakes and go on and try desperately to NOT do it again especially something as serious as condemning others. I dont think you can find one post of mine where I blatantly and brazenly have used the word CONDEMN can you. So for you to go out on a limb and imply I stay in error makes you a LIAR. I think we know what God has to say about liars right ?
Lk. 6.3738, 4142
1 Judge not, that ye be not judged.
2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. Mk. 4.24
3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?
5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.
6 Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.
