Yes, that is the flesh Yes, that is the flesh. As long as they believe in the flesh they allow Satan to control them. By rejecting the truth, which is that there is a spiritual, one is deceived, and lives in the flesh, and is under Satan's power. 1 John 5:19 ESV We know that we are from God...

Matthew 19:21 Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.

1 Kings 10:14 Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred threescore and six talents of gold,

There is a deception going on, but it's not the one you think. Matthew 4:17 From that time Jesus began to preach and say, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” God's kingdom is spiritual. Earthly governments are of this world - worldly. They are all in Satan's domain. USA, Russia and...

1 John 5:19 ESV We know that we are from God, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one. John 14:30 ESV I will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming. He has no claim on me,

It's not a choice from the perspective of one with ultimate knowledge, but it is a choice from the perspective of a human. You are free to act however you want, but however you want to act, is predetermined. The predetermination is revealed through your actions. Your will and God's will...

The Bible already says that Satan is tbe supreme dictator of the world. 8 Finally, the devil took Jesus to a very high mountain. He showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. 9 “If you bow down and worship me,” he said, “I will give you all this.” So what do you think is going...

I am amazed at the depravity of western governments, but LaVeyan Satanism is non-theistic, purely materialistic and rejects the existence of the soul and of supernatural beings. It is just an edgy gloss of paint put on top of atheism. They only describe themselves as Satanists to define...

Free will is -not- the ability to consciously choose between good and evil, because good is wisdom, happiness, peace, etc. while evil is ignorance, pain, anguish, etc. Nobody would ever consciously choose evil, but rather evil arises out of ignorance of what is good. Free will is having a blank...

I understand exactly what you are saying, and I am explaining why it is wrong. People have choices - to act according to their logic. There is no other way that a person can act. The problem is that your definition of free will is that something is free only if the outcome is unpredictable ---...

Copied from an encyclopedia article, which is more eloquent than I am: Origen did not believe in the eternal suffering of sinners in hell. For him, all souls, including the devil himself, will eventually achieve salvation, even if it takes innumerable ages to do so; for Origen believed that...

As I said before - a person's choices are never random, they are based on that person. You can have a choice that is entirely predictable, and also entirely yours. If I say that I dare you to stick your hand in fire, the obvious answer is "no". Does this mean that I control you because I know...

I don't watch broadcast TV so I am completely ignorant of all this, but I maintain that these types of people don't actually worship Satan theistically, but are atheists who only do these things to offend Christians. Many of these so-called "Satanists" are really just Atheist Randians with an...

I would make the controversial argument that everyone always chooses what is good (what is most rational), according to their own beliefs. For example, a robber might seem like a villainous scumbag to everyone else, but to him, he sees that others have much more than him, and perhaps justifies...

Let me give an example: Let's say that people reincarnate. First as a rich man then as a poor man. Your first life as a rich man, you indulge in luxuries, which don't make you happy, and you ignore the poor. Then in your second life, you incarnate as a poor man. You suffer hunger and all the...

Nobody, except a handful of edgy teenagers, theistically worship Satan, or ever will. Worshipping Satan or the Beast doesn't mean having an altar and sacrificing goats. Nobody does this, nobody ever will, because nobody who believes in the spiritual would worship the principle of the...

Adam represents God, or perhaps Adam is simply patterned after God as a lesser reflection of the creator. Adam is completely alone, so part of him is split off as Eve so that he can love himself.

Someone saw it and wrote about it, most likely in a vision, so, we've got dream symbolism going on here. In Bible prophetic symbolism, there is precedent for humans to be represented as animals and spirits/angels to be represented as humans. (This is likely to reflect the nature of...

Consider that in the world Adam was created in, all animals were vegetarians. Adam existed on another spiritual plane from Earth (a plane of earthly paradise), then after he sinned, he incarnated into Earth. Genesis 3:21 21 Unto Adam also and to his wife did the Lord God make coats of skins...

By reincarnation lineage I mean that Adam was reincarnated into David, then David was reincarnated into Jesus. (And if there was any other incarnation in between these three, I don't know, it is never stated overtly). For example, Jesus is called the Son of David, but why is Jesus called the...
