This is one of my favorites:
(from the book of Luke)
49 John said to Jesus, “Master, we saw someone using your name to cast out demons, but we told him to stop because he isn’t in our group.”
50 But Jesus said, “Don’t stop him! Anyone who is not against you is for you.”
I think the bottom line is, you can find about anything you want to in the Bible!
It is a valuable tool, depending on how you use it.
Let me add, this forum is so very, very much fun!
