    Satan and his demons are real beings/entities (with personalities) not abstract evil within unregenerate man

    You don't appreciate when you believe your views have been deliberately twisted and undermined huh? That should teach you to not twist and undermine the views of others because it is a sign of weakness. At least no one in this thread that I'm aware of has called you a heretic and accused you...

    Satan and his demons are real beings/entities (with personalities) not abstract evil within unregenerate man

    You're assuming the serpent being more subtle [cunning (usually in a bad sense):—crafty, prudent, subtil] than any beast of the field was not "very good" as the vehicle God intended to use that mankind might experience good and evil which they had not when God created man. How would mankind...

    Satan and his demons are real beings/entities (with personalities) not abstract evil within unregenerate man

    Being involved in frontline ministry is confronting falsehood and all manner of evil that abounds toward the Church coming from PEOPLE doing the deeds of the evil master they serve. Since the coming of Christ messengers of God cast our devils and demons through the gospel of the Kingdom of God...

    Satan and his demons are real beings/entities (with personalities) not abstract evil within unregenerate man

    That's the crux of the argument David. Man was created "very good" and through deception from the EVIL ONE man became of the same nature as the vioce they listened to. Satan, regardless of what mythology being passed down from days of Old wants us to believe, was NOT created a good angel of...

    Satan and his demons are real beings/entities (with personalities) not abstract evil within unregenerate man

    I suppose this is what one would expect from someone who believes God created Satan to be good, but Satan proved he was more powerful than God through disobedience and became evil! sml

    Satan and his demons are real beings/entities (with personalities) not abstract evil within unregenerate man

    I've already told you what I believe. But you aren't content with that, because you want to know if I too agree that mankind is the spirit that resides in us, believing there are no spirit messengers of God called angels or spirit messengers of Satan called devils and demons, because we are...

    Predestination VS Free Will

    Every human is made in the same image and likeness as Seth through Adam since the fall. Genesis 5:3 (KJV) And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, after his image; and called his name Seth: Job 14:4 (KJV) Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean...

    Predestination VS Free Will

    I agree! Before we are born again and become the new man (again) the likeness and image of Christ (second man), we remain in our fallen state as the old man born in the likeness and image of the first man, Adam. 1 Corinthians 15:47-49 (KJV) The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second...

    Predestination VS Free Will

    Just as Adam's son Seth was begotten after the likeness and image of Adam, so too all the sons/daughters of Adam are also begotten/not made in the same manner. The same fallen nature of Adam is passed down to the whole human race. Begat - יָלַד yâlad, yaw-lad' - bear, beget, birth(-day)...

    The judgement of hell came in the first century

    Yes, Israel of the flesh to this day is denying the Lord Jesus Christ, remaining in unbelief and continue to be in rebellion against the True God. Orthodox Jews in unbelief are still clinging to the Law of Moses, still waiting for the promised Messiah to come that they might re-establish the...

    The judgement of hell came in the first century

    Reading this passage it's important to properly understand the various ways the word "see" is defined. In this verse the Greek word εἴδω eídō, i'-do - be aware, behold, × can (+ not tell), consider, (have) know(-ledge), look (on), perceive, see, be sure, tell, understand, wish, wot. Would...

    In this we have agreement!

    The judgement of hell came in the first century

    I have come to understand the prophetic words of Christ, as do some partial preterits as fulfillment of complete destruction in 70 AD, with Christ also looking beyond the Jewish nation to a Christian nation/people of every nation, tribe, kindred and tongue. I don't claim to be a partial...

    The judgement of hell came in the first century

    If this generation is limited to natural meaning and is limited "for those who are living at any given period", to what natural generation of those living at any given period will you assign "a chosen generation"? 1 Peter 2:9 (KJV) But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy...

    Predestination VS Free Will

    That's why I asked why, what happened? Why didn't the likeness and image of God pass even to every person as you first said, "This is GOD given to every person who is.... 'made in our image"........ Gen 1:26 Isn't it because man through natural choice lost the likeness and image of God when...

    Predestination VS Free Will

    Wasn't the imputed faith coming through the righteousness of God that Abraham displayed the result of hearing the word of God? Romans 10:17 (KJV) So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Galatians 3:8 (KJV) And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the...

    Predestination VS Free Will

    Originally man was created in the likeness and image of God, what happened when son, Seth was born? God had appointed another seed to replace Abel whom Cain killed. Why was Seth begotten in the likeness and image of Adam? What happened to the likeness and image of God that man had first been...
