You said: The Devil came to Jesus and tempted him, that's all that the Devil does period ! One has free will, that was given by God !
I’m not disagreeing with anything you said I think you did it Very good justice.
however can you imagine a supernatural entity that looks like Jesus and acts like Jesus?
Why I quoted what you said is the only thing I questioned (because the Bible says the antichrist will have supernatural powers) to work his deception. Why am I concerned?
Can you imagine 50 years you’re the nicest christian in the world and you get fooled and you worship the antichrist thinking it is Jesus?
Thinking you’re going into 1000 years of bliss and financial wealth or thinking you’re going to get raptured! lead you right into the trap of Satan
People will be looking for death and destruction to their bodies, but the tribulation is to their soul. The antichrist will come in peacefully and prosperously and fool everybody that’s the way I see it otherwise, how can you fool everybody?
I know the Bible pretty well, but I like to think I have common sense in the Bible story has to fit the narrative from start to end, and the rapture theory does not work for me
Yes, I believe we have free well, but if the deception is so great, that even the elect would fall for it if the time was not cut short, do we have to take that serious?
Asking questions is how you learn I don’t assume to know everything otherwise I would warn you and leave. That’s called planting a seed. The only thing that God is expected of me so I’m free to leave anytime I want in my mind.
I see Joe Biden and Co as Anti-Christ that are leading people astray ! Old Joe comes across as a very nice man ? but i can see in his and Co works that he is not so at all !
Not to mention that one who comes across as nice is not the reality a lot of the time in fact.
My Dad and my mum was not nice, what one would call nice at all ? He was my dad however but not my mate or friend truly at all ! i worked for him and he said that he was being that way to me so as too harden me up ? so as too deal with this world ?
I think he went a bit to far with that line. I did not need that as much as he thought.
When i worked for myself, i learnt the hard way with people and when someone was overly nice i found that type to be the worst people to deal with by far and then i just dismissed such people directly.
I would not bother to do a job for them or put up with such people. I always got a little warning bell in my mind about such people ! and i was right every time ! so that as soon as i got that feeling warning me, i stopped work directly and walked out, even I had wasted 2 or 3 days work and all ! and totally happy in doing so, nothing worse than slaving for some mongrel and going through hell every day.
A lot of very evil people are out and about in our own Nation, i do not give such the time of day !
I would pick up people who needed a lift in my car and helping them out but what did i get in return someone who was a problem ! so i gave up such.
I watch out what people say, it's the detail or the body language that i get back in reading such people, so i do not wast time for that type of people.
So when it comes to Devils, as you have said it is so ! and the Bible warns us time and time again in fact of such delusions and deceptions !
I see every Church is being lead astray nowadays in fact ! for the real true issue is Christ Jesus in fact and it's that very point that the Churches have abandoned, for this world, it's clear to see ! the Elect are or can be also lead astray, i think the reason why is because they do not want to be seen as getting in their way, for they go along with the flow, it's much easier that way !
But as we seen with Jesus what he dealt with, as he never gave up the ghost ! and regards Paul etc etc, so one has to dig in and stand solid in Christ Jesus come hell or high water regardless, so can they the elect do that ? I think of such in the light of that when you are dead and in Heaven or Hell you will have a lot of time to dwell on what you did in that life. It's a sad tail to say, If only i held on to my guns ! in relation to some issue !
I remember when a mates mum killed her self and i knew her my whole life, as she lived next door when i was a kid, i thought about what if i said something to stop her from doing that ! I did not know she was going to do that at all. but if i took the time so if she needed to speak to me, she would of ? but she was Jewish and did not want me talking about Christianity to her being 30 years older than me and all, but i had fiery debates with her Son, my mate all the time ! but he would never listen as he could not care less ! he was a socialist ! that was his god ! So lucky i can say that i could do nothing for them regardless what way i went about it. I have learnt the hard way not to bother with people who do not want to know about Jesus. if they ask of me fine ! then their is something to work with. outer than that one may as well be talking to a brick wall.
