    How does Satan tempt us?

    And God so loved the world, he sent his son. While darkness is prevailant so is light. The fight, in my opinion, is fighting the ways of the world and the spirit(s) of it. Spirit of greed, hatred, etc… to many people really give credit to Satan more than they do themselves cause the individual...

    Typical questions people ask about the Olivet Discourse.

    I don’t know how true all that information is. It’s subjective for sure, sir, or ma’am. :)

    How does Satan tempt us?

    Okay. As I like to share with you, or anyone my predicated view concerning the Bible narrative, people may continue to believe however they choose. It’s totally subjective between you and God, and not a whole group of people like many people may suggest today. Thought culture and cultic groups...

    How does Satan tempt us?

    Jesus also promises to remove Satan from that position. John 12 Now is the time for judgment on this world; now the prince of this world will be driven out. I understand though. You look at the world through a world view that suggest everyone and everywhere is demonic things going on. Sure...

    Was Jesus 'mortal' or 'immortal' ?

    The Christ in Jesus. The Christ in Jesus left. Yes. Can you say there was blood? Life but what was the life coming from? Blood when Jesus is risen? Or was it the life giving spirit of God? Revealed now today by the Revelation? Thank you.

    What is your notion of Christian exclusivity?

    No because no one is God to judge, and judgment concerning the Wrath of God pertains to Israel in my view. Good luck to you always in Christ.

    How does Satan tempt us?

    That’s the common denominator of saying look Satan still alive because of this. I don’t think like that. Humans make choices. Your own nephew can decide by himself to murder. Children learn about it early in life, from grade school. The world has been a lot better in my opinion concerning the...

    How does Satan tempt us?

    We have before. To me. It’s stupid. To think someone whom is done away with, can’t tempt you. It really tones down Jesus and his victory. Satan must be stealing souls away if he is still active. What happens is when you learn right from wrong by and through Jesus Christ, and you learn about...

    Typical questions people ask about the Olivet Discourse.

    That is one thing to say, I disagree about the whole Lazarus idea. John though, I believe is the one being talked about. It’s not a huge deal to me personally, it’s still a good question, in my opinion. Many miss small things like this; such as Did John continue to work until Jesus returned?

    Typical questions people ask about the Olivet Discourse.

    A good question was Jesus lying about having John alive when he returned? John the beloved Apostle is dead and gone now. Did Jesus pick him up? Did Jesus lie? If Jesus lied, hell you can’t trust him. You definitely can’t trust what anyone else has to say about the Bible too. They may be...

    Are the words in the Bible "imperfect"?

    Yes, the Bible is not word perfect. To some degree or another, while words play a major part in the reading of the Bible, with various types of use of language. Some are interpreted by the author based on their beliefs at the time. Such as the King James Bible for example, there are three types...

    Why didn't God destroy Satan at the beginning?

    I don’t believe Satans name is Lucifer. I suppose God saw use in Satan, and He promised to have his crushed in the beginning. Genesis 3:15 I will put hostility between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring. He will strike your head, and you will strike his heel. A...

    What was Paul's thorn in the flesh?

    No one knows. People can only speculate. If it was meant for us to know, he would have told us.

    Typical questions people ask about the Olivet Discourse.

    A big question could be, was John ever gotten? Jesus replied, “If I want him to remain alive until I return, what is that to you? As for you, follow me.”

    How does Satan tempt us?

    Some of those Israelites became greedy only to have maggots to eat in the morning for not listening. There is something also that is a saying We are our own worst enemy; if God can be for you, who could be against you? A waring between oneself and the spiritual things concerning Yahava, or in...

    How does Satan tempt us?

    He does not. Aside from that his head has been crushed into incapable of doing anything. There is no LAW for Satan to use on the Nation of Israel. And the LAW has been fulfilled by Christ. Therefore how can Satan do anything? Your own desires tempt you; by what the World offers. Jesus makes...

    Transgenders

    Since I’m not part of Christian culture, nor care much for the culture of the world. There are people who comes see the light. When you think about it, this body does die and a new spiritual body will be given in the afterlife. I don’t watch the news: I don’t know a lot of the social events...

    Was Jesus 'mortal' or 'immortal' ?

    Not only is there the Spirit of Christ, there is the Spirit of Yahava. I believe Jesus died, and his body was accepted for being perfect in it had not been corrupted, but Jesus soul or spirit traveled to Hell. Yahava rose Jesus up, by his life giving Spirit, and the body Jesus had while it is...

    What is your notion of Christian exclusivity?

    I dont know Scott. I have no desire to reread the quote. The bible mentions things that were mentioned by myself. It's all good mate, I do not desire to go and check the mans stuff out. By all means he is a person who is a faithful believer, as far as I know. I just do not agree with his quote...

    Was Jesus 'mortal' or 'immortal' ?

    While that is all fine and great. I do not care about the subject, and find it difficult for people to understand. People will though believe whatever someone says and then agree with others and then they get along great, but disagree then there is a debate. Both Christian, just children and not...
