I am pretty clever, I'm so bright my parents call me son. I resist the devil every time I step in the prison and am surrounded by over 1500 murderers, rapist, and some of the most violent gangs, so on. Being a chaplain has opened my eyes on relying on God's Word in everyway and everyday. I have...

And how did you become Wonder Woman without reading your Bible? I'm listening.

1 Timothy 4:12 - Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity. You can make comments about my age all you want, that just shows you're acting more on my "youthful" level than I am, so...

I've had great success with the Bible, thanks.

Yea because going to the Bible is such an awful thing to do, my apologies. Faith comes by hearing and hearing by what? The Word of God. You would not have known to resist unless you read your Bible. The Word of God (AKA the Bible) is the Sword of the Spirit and is living and powerful. Jesus...

I know you two were not trying to get the devil saved, that was made clear in the OP "...he never will..." Of course satan would never repent. What I was making my own reference to is that if you want to resist the devil simply go the Bible.

I understand Helen, I thought @Jun2u had a excellent post so that is why I said "amen". As I mentioned in my post, if you want to resist the devil - use scripture - not a fantasy method of throwing the idea of forgiveness at the devil.

To the original post of what Phillip said...I fine way to resist the devil is to tell him that even he can be forgivin if he but bows to the man Jesus. He never will so he always runs....

Nope, Not at ALL and it is crazy to even believe that. Satan and the demons have their fate sealed. If you want to resist the devil, quote Scripture like Jesus did. Jesus didn't tell him, "Oh satan if you repent I'll save you too" No! Jesus rebuked satan by speaking Scripture - the Sword of the...

Well Nancy, You just knew I had to jump in on this one, LOL. 1 John 3:9 - No one who is born of God will continue to sin, because God's seed remains in them; they cannot go on sinning, because they have been born of God. This does not mean that believers won't have struggles or have to fight...

No one will watch even one, lol.

Why is it that you felt convicted for your sin and others do not? It certainly wasn't of your own doing. As humans we are all equally separated from God and dead in sin, so what's different about you? A person in a fallen state of being cannot create conviction that goes against its broken, sin...

The word trinity isn't in the bible either. I guess you're just the bee's knees then. You heard the Gospel and responded all on your own. How cool, how amazing, to be dead in sin and yet raise yourself to the life of faith on your own choosing/doing.

If God's creation leaves mankind without excuse for not knowing Him, then I would say yes. Debating with others on the existence of God is like chasing the wind. We can lay out all the knowledge we know and yet even if you were to convince them there is a God, can you convince them to repent and...

Thank you for your reply, it is much appreciated and I see you do put work into your post. When people state that it was by foreknowledge that God predestined people, that contradicts the fallen state of man who is dead in his sins. How can a sinner who is naturally an enemy of God bring life to...

Luke 2:1 - And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed. John 12:19 - So the Pharisees said to one another, "See, this is getting us nowhere. Look how the whole world has gone after him!" So, does "world" in these...

@GodsGrace You say: "Agnostics don't hate god" Yeah, god with a lowercase "g" - they have their own idols in their heart like everyone else; but presented with the True GOD they are like every other human being - fallen from right standing. You don't seem to understand the evilness that dwells...

And you can't a person in arminianism to see the true nature of man as fallen. ALL MEN TO BE SAVED, does this mean that every human will be saved? Does everyone come to the knowledge of truth? Apparently not.

A lot of people will proclaim they believe in God but are not actually in relationship with Him. Knowing there is a God is different than being in fellowship with God. Even if you were to prove the existence to God to people who claim to be atheist you can't make them repent or feel conviction...
