    The judgement of hell came in the first century

    These words were spoken to Christ's disciples. Matthew 24:1 (KJV) And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple. When Jesus speaks of "this generation" in reference to "serpents, you offspring of vipers", without...

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

    What are angels and demons? I believe they are invisible spiritual beings to serve one of two masters, the one to damnation, and the other to everlasting life. Every human has spirit, because it is spirit that gives life and the flesh profits nothing (Jo 6:63). The master all of mankind...

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

    Evil is not in question, darkness is. Was darkness created by God, or was darkness upon the face of the deep? I believe darkness is a metaphor meaning without the presence of Light. Darkness - Strong's Hebrew Dictionary 2822. חֹשֶׁךְ choshek (chôshek) Search for H2822 in KJVSL; in KJV...

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

    I'm not questioning your knowledge of Jesus. I was wondering if you understand that it is by the providence of God that Christ would be the Lamb slain from before the foundation of the world. This depicts the Covenant promise enacted in heaven before the foundation of the world. Through His...

    Psalm 109:6-19 (KJV) Set thou a wicked man over him: and let Satan stand at his right hand. When he shall be judged, let him be condemned: and let his prayer become sin. Let his days be few; and let another take his office. Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow. Let his children...

    Have you no knowledge of the Lamb slain from before the foundation of the world?

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

    Judas who was ordained an Apostle of Christ became the son of perdition; he began as light but had been foreordained by God to be the guide of them that took Jesus. Isaiah 45:5-7 (KJV) I am the LORD, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known...

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

    It's both! Darkness existed before creation. God spoke into the darkness and divided it by His Light. Though it can be proven that darkness is where evil dwells, evil within God's creation did not exist until man disobeyed God and brought sin and death through sin into creation.

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

    I agree! All that God created was created out of NOTHING! The voice of God was all that was needed for Him to intrude the darkness that covered the face of the deep and divide the darkness by His glorious Light!

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

    I should have written that darkness is representative of sin and death that existed from the beginning of creation when God created man.

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

    Exactly! It was through deception the serpent (symbolizing Satan) spoke to Eve that resulted in sin and death through sin entering creation. There was nothing created for the darkness to deceive until God created all that is on earth, the sea and the sky. Before the creation of the world...

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

    I don't believe God used the pre-existing darkness. I believe He intruded/invaded the darkness dividing it with His Light!

    What is this darkness upon the face of the deep that existed prior to God dividing the Light from the darkness calling them day & night? Genesis 1:2 (KJV) And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

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

    I'm not reasonable about the nature of angels or the creation and the fall? What I cannot accept is doctrine perpetuated through mythology rather than biblical truth. God did NOT make His spirit messengers called angels for the purpose of ministering to the heirs of salvation, only to have...

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

    Where does it say the darkness that was upon the face of the deep was created by God? It says only that God divided the light from the darkness. Genesis 1:1-4 (KJV) In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the...

    I agree! All things exist including Satan who has always been evil, through the providence and power of God.

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

    God tells us He creates darkness & evil. Is the prophet telling us the darkness before creation was created by God? And why does the prophet say that God creates evil? All who are of God are called the light of the world, and the wicked are known as children of the darkness and night, yet...

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

    The Bible tells us that out of darkness & nothingness all that God created is very good. Why did God make a Covenant with mankind before the foundation of the earth saying, He would provide Himself the Lamb slain from before creation of the earth, sea and sky? The fact that darkness existed...

    What is it you believe I should reconsider. What have I said that cannot be biblically supported?

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

    Was Paul really saying believers will judge angels of God? What would we judge them for? Did God make His angel ministering spirits of those who are heirs of salvation then discover they cannot be trusted to do God's bidding? That makes no sense. We shall be judges of those who call...
