    Why didn't God destroy Satan at the beginning?

    I've never read the books of Enoch. Are you able to post the passage you are referring to or at least the chapter and verse. Thanks

    Why didn't God destroy Satan at the beginning?

    Yes, I was just reading the creation story. The first human kind seemed to have the capacity to choose what to say and what to do as did other things God created, like the serpent. Gen 3 1 Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said to...

    Why didn't God destroy Satan at the beginning?

    Do you mean, if God had done it already, it would have been a bit premature? That God has more for him to do before he is thrown into the lake of fire prepared for him?

    Thanks for the reminder.

    Why didn't God destroy Satan at the beginning?

    That's a good way of interpreting the biblical account of the fall. It makes sense. And just to add to that, I have found comfort in knowing that some of God's character may have been undisclosed at the point when He made this creation. Such as His mercy, grace, love, longsuffering...

    Spiritualism and Demon Possession

    Thanks for your words of encouragement and gentle correction. You are right quietthinker. I think for me it has become a habit, maybe a bad one to debate with fellow followers of Christ. The ego gets in the way preventing me from being humble, loving, kind and a servant of others, the last not...

    How to Test the Spirits?

    I'm curious, how did you come to the conclusion that smoking crack cocaine is a sin?

    How to Test the Spirits?

    So you know for a fact, God told you, that it wasn't His will for me to go into His presence as I experienced and shared earlier today? What did He say to you about me in particular. I'm happy to hear it BBJ. He invited me into His presence a long time ago when I was adopted into His family and...

    Spiritualism and Demon Possession

    I agree, I'm not Jesus. But He did say, a student is not above His Teacher. If they do things to Me they will do it to you My followers. If I am tempted by the Devil, you will be also. In fact pray to Father in heaven, lead us not into temptation but deliver us from the evil of the evil one...

    Misunderstandings about hearing the Lord

    Yes, I agree, for the Spirit was sent to convict the world, not those already born again, of sin, righteousness and the judgement to come. For before there was a holy bible, there was the Holy Spirit communicating with humans. Actually from personal experience Holy Spirit is still speaking, loud...

    Misunderstandings about hearing the Lord

    The great thing is that we have recorded accounts of God not only being able to speak to people audibly, but examples of where He did. 1) This is my beloved son in whom I am well pleased. Baptism (Mark 1:11) 2) This is my Son listen to Him. Transfiguration (Matthew 17:5) 3) I have glorified...

    Spiritualism and Demon Possession

    So it wasn't the Spirit of God the Father Who led Jesus into the wilderness to be tempted but it was Jesus's lusts that drew him to Satan the devil?

    How to Test the Spirits?

    I have never hear of this person so I cannot comment on him or what he does. I don't identify as 'charismatic' or anything else for that matter. Again, whether they are delusional or not, I don't know but you seem to know, so it sounds like you know best, can judge best and condemn best. I do...

    How to Test the Spirits?

    Did God tell you that only Paul can go into a first, second, third, fourth or any other heaven? There's nothing recorded in the bible forbidding anyone from going into heaven that I know of, do you?

    How to Test the Spirits?

    The Creators Who said, let Us make man in Our image.

    How to Test the Spirits?

    Yes, agreed. He is amazing. I love Him and having a personal intimate relationship with Him. How much closer can one get to another being than to have them inside of us. The Spirit of Truth, the Spirit of Christ, the Spirit of God Himself actually inside our being. Wow! Now that's GOOD NEWS...

    How to Test the Spirits?

    Reading your post again I am almost in tears with gratitude to our Father for, yes, Him thinking of everybody and in particular I'm so glad you have that tailor made relationship with Him, Ziggy. I love our Father and marvel at how much He loves us.

    How to Test the Spirits?

    Yes, the glow of being in His presence in heaven earlier today has continued as I engage with the things on earth. The peace, the joy, the acceptance I have with Jesus, myself and others is great. It prepared me for the challenges that have come in the past hour. The temptation to pursue...

    How to Test the Spirits?

    Yes, agreed. In heaven and on earth too. My heart leaps for joy as I reflect on the past couple of hours after being with Them in heaven and back here on earth. Today I was able to sit with God in heaven and reflect on Jesus's invitation to drink from a pool of living water before His throne...

    How to Test the Spirits?

    Ye Yes I agree with you. And I am definitely one of them. The Word of God Who once become flesh and now sits at His Father's right in heaven, where we too are seated, inside the Lamb of God, the Word of God, God's Word through Whom this creation was made. How much time do we spend in Their...
