    Why do you believe Satan is still around today? (Please read Op)

    I've got an opinion about anyone who doesn't align with the Word of God, showing they have no faith in its Author.

    Why do you believe Satan is still around today? (Please read Op)

    It's unwise to underestimate Satan. Even though he is a defeated foe, Satan is not taking his defeat lying down. Unregenerate humanity remains in bondage to Satan, who is enraged with regenerate humanity: Rev 12:17 And the dragon was enraged with the woman, and he went to make war with the...

    Why Jesus Wants Us To Make A Stand During The Coming Tribulation

    You could have found this out yourself: Quote: According to the premillennial view of the end times, the tribulation saints are the people who will come to faith in Jesus Christ during the tribulation period. The tribulation period is a seven-year time of judgments that will follow the rapture...

    People say you can not lose faith, God can't lose you, is that true?

    What do backsliders slide back from?

    People say you can not lose faith, God can't lose you, is that true?

    It's called backsliding. (Jer 8:4) "Moreover you shall say to them, 'Thus says the LORD: "Will they fall and not rise? Will one turn away and not return? (Jer 8:5) Why has this people slidden back, Jerusalem, in a perpetual backsliding? They hold fast to deceit, They refuse to return. (Jer...

    Why Jesus Wants Us To Make A Stand During The Coming Tribulation

    These are Christian martyrs. (Rev 12:11) And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death. These are tribulation saints. (Rev 13:7) It was granted to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them. And...

    Secular legal question

    I can't answer for the USA but in NZ anything that impinges on the right of a property owner or tenants to the fair use and enjoyment of their premises is an offence. We have local government authorities (called Councils) that can issue abatement notices. If these are ignored they initiate court...

    How do you reconcile "the gates of Hell will NOT prevail" with Satan supposedly taking most of mankind to Hell with him?

    Exactly The world is our mission field. Satan snatches the Word of God away from Wayside hearers before it can take root because he knows it exposes him and his plans to corrupt, deceive, and exploit.

    How do you reconcile "the gates of Hell will NOT prevail" with Satan supposedly taking most of mankind to Hell with him?

    The gates in question don't prevail against God's ekklesia, but those who aren't in God's ekklesia have no choice but to pass through them to Hades.

    What Makes Ex-Christians Think They Once Were Christians?

    I've been steering the discussion away from the one dimensional determinist view that ignores the fact that those partaking of the grace of God can and do fall from it. It happens, and God allows it to happen. From cover to cover the Word of God speaks to the need to continue in faith or be cut...

    What Makes Ex-Christians Think They Once Were Christians?

    There are many ex-Christians. Some have been in ministry leadership but have lost their faith. This thread is about them. They exist. The line "they were never really Christians" is a cop-out and a fallacy of logic, as previously stated. Just as a person can't fall from a roof if they never...

    What Makes Ex-Christians Think They Once Were Christians?

    Whoa! The Bible speaks of falling from grace, not falling from the illusion of it. Gal 5:4 You have become estranged from Christ, you who attempt to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace.

    What Makes Ex-Christians Think They Once Were Christians?

    TBC He had all of the above going on. Yeah, the classic "wasn't really a Christian" is a fallacy of logic. Ex-Mormons were real Mormons. Ex-JW's were real JW's. Ex-husbands and ex-wives were real husbands and real wives. Ex-military personnel were real military personnel. Conditions apply...
