Rob the house of a strong man
Satan is the strong man, his house the body of the demoniac, and his goods the evil spirit within the man. Jesus had entered his house, and robbed him of his goods; and this proved that, instead of being in league with Satan, he had overpowered Satan. Thus Jesus put to shame the Pharisees, and caused the divinity of his miracle to stand out in clearer light than ever. The power of Jesus to dispossess the demon was one of his most convincing credentials, and its meaning now stood forth in its true light.

why do scribes and pharisees recognise the powers of beelzebul?
Beelzebul is a demon that should be known by name by Jesus but the mere people have name for it what does that mean.

Jesus and Beelzebul
Jesus uses the binding of a strong man who is the owner of the house so that he becomes helpless and then you plunder his house.

House of a strong man.
i think it is not so easy to plunder into the strong man`s house, if it is easy it happens only because of HIS MIGHTY GRACE. without HIS GRACE it is imposible to carry HIS cross in our lives and with out HIS cross i think we have no right to enter HIS paradise. GOD has given each one of us a unique responsiblity to do in this journey of life and one of the main is to lead a HOLY , SPIRITUAL, HUMBLE, FRUITFUL life keeping ourselves away from all the riches of this world, which could be very difficult without HIS GRACE. every christian should have the attitude that``THE RIGHT OF A TRUE CHRISTIAN IS TO GIVE UP ALL HIS RIGHTS`` we should follow the path of CHRIST that will take us into HIS HOUSE.

Lesson 14 jul 2006
Goodmorning everybody! When someone is a strong believer, you first have to rob the Holy spirit out of this person, before you can win the battle. Have a blessed day!

on the meaning of the word
Morning! the only hope is to bind tie the strong man usinnf force and violence. First interpreation that comes to mind but maybe there is another meaning that is linked to the rest of the passage. Food for thought...

Jesus and Beelzebub

He came into a house. The multitude came together again, so that they could not so much as eat bread. When his friends heard it, they went out to seize him: for they said, "He is insane." The scribes who came down from Jerusalem said, "He has Beelzebul," and, "By the prince of the demons he casts out the demons."
He summoned them, and said to them in parables, "How can Satan cast out Satan? If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. If a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand. If Satan has risen up against himself, and is divided, he can't stand, but has an end. But no one can enter into the house of the strong man to plunder, unless he first binds the strong man; and then he will plunder his house. Most certainly I tell you, all sins of the descendants of man will be forgiven, including their blasphemies with which they may blaspheme; but whoever may blaspheme against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin"--because they said, "He has an unclean spirit."
