1970's

 The Seventies Some Tidbits

The decade of the Seventies shows more than any other what happens when inflation goes out of control with prices, wages, interest rates and unemployment and most of the problems could be traced back to one thing that was a major factor OIL Crisis related to the war in the Middle East . At the worst time in mid 70's 1974 Inflation in the US was 11.3% and in the UK 1974 inflation was 24.3% And Interest rates ranged as high as 14.2%.
Most things goods and services doubled in price in just one decade

In 1970 a new house cost $23,400.00 and by 1979 was $58,500.00
In 1970 the average income per year was $9,350.00 and by 1979 was $17,550.00
In 1970 a gallon of gas was 36 cents and by 1979 was 86 cents
But the 70's gave us much more than just raging inflation and high interest rates
The US pulled out of Vietnam
The Watergate Scandal
A new genre of music appeared called Progressive rock featuring the likes of Genesis, Yes, Emerson, Lake & Palmer and Pink Floyd. Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith, AC/DC, Queen, Black Sabbath
The 70's also started using the tools invented in the 60's needed for the digital revolution including the transistor, and Integrated Circuits making things cheaper and more powerful ranging from Calculators to Televisions and the birth of the Home Computer and video games
One other important change which was also caused by the Oil Crisis was the quick uptake of cars from Japan which had smaller engines providing better gas mileage both in Europe and the US
With the 70's came a new generation of passenger aircraft capable of carrying many more passengers ( 747 ) making air travel cheaper and allowing the ordinary family to explore much further afield for holidays.
We can not discuss the 70's without including the liberation of women and the sexual revolution that allowed a more open discussion of anything to do with SEX
With the change in music came a new revolution in fashions carrying on from the more liberal ideas of the 60's of what was acceptable clothing

Forgivenesss always

When Jesus died on the cross He took all of our sins upon Himself. The Bible assures us God's forgiveness is not limited to what we remember (Romans 8:26-27; Psalm 19:12).

Exorcism

 Exorcism was practiced by various people in the gospels and the book of Acts. The disciples in (Matthew 10); others using Christs' name (Mark 8:38); the children of the Pharisees (Luke 11:18-19); Paul in (Acts 16); and certain exorcists (Acts 19:11-16). It seems that the purpose in Jesus's disciples performing exorcisms was to show Christ's dominion over the demons (Luke 10:17) and to verify that the disciples were acting in His bane by His authority. Also, it revealed their faith or lack of (Matthew 17:14-21). Miracles can be counterfeited (2 Thessalonians 2:9). Jesus said that some who are not truly His may still perform miraculous signs- including exorcisms- in His name. 

Romans-Jude also known as teaching portions of the New Testament refer to demonic activity but dues discuss casting them out nor does it exhort us to. We are told to put on the armor to stand against it (Ephesians 6:10-18).  Were told to resist the devil (James 4:7), to be careful of him (1 Peter 5:8), and bot to make room for him in our lives (Ephesians 4:27). We are not told how to cast the devil or his demons out of others or that we should even consider doing that. 

 As the Word of God was completed Christians had more weapons to battle the spirit world than did the early Christians. Casting out demons was replaced, for the most part, with evangelism and discipleship through God's Word. Since the methods of spiritual warfare in the New Testament do not involve casting out demons, it is difficult on how to do such a thing, or whether it is even necessary to do it.  It seems that it through exposing the individual to the truth of the Word of God and Jesus Christ.

RCC

  To deny that Roman Catholicism is a cult is to repudiate the reformation and mock the millions of martyrs who died at Rome's hands. The "Christ" of Roman Catholicism is just as false as its "Mary." Remember that a cult according to the Word of God is any group of people that worship anything or anyone other than Jesus Christ, and believe anything contrary to His word as recorded in the Bible.  Roman Catholicism is not truly Christian, but is in fact an offshoot of Christianity and the largest and oldest "Christian" cult in the world. In addition, the display of adoration, the gaudy parade of a mere man as if he were a god, the pandering to idolatrous worship through bowing down and kissing his ring, the insistence that he be addressed as "His Holiness the Pope" or "Father" of all Christians cannot but confirm to any Christian that the Roman Catholic church is a cult.
