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

    Of course, the 'angels which are in heaven' as in heavenly angels don't do that. But some left their proper place in heaven and came to the earth, which means they were sinning, disobedient, went against the command of God for them. They went AWOL for evil purposes.

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

    Sons of God are also mentioned in Job These creatures are not men, not human beings. These are the same ones Genesis 6 speaks of. Satan appears to be of the same order of being as themselves. Peter also refers to 'celestial beings'. in other words angels. Angels also appear to be of a large...

    How can a serpent speak human language? Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said to the woman, “Has God indeed said, ‘You shall not eat of every tree of the garden’?” He was a physical being, not a spirit. Satan took on physical form.

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

    Referring to which part of the verse? 'He was a murderer from the beginning' To me this refers to the garden of Eden, where by his actions he caused the death of all people, Adam, Eve and all of humanity. And the lie was in how he spoke to Eve. In v4, he lied to her about the dying part, they...

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

    Scripture calls them angels though, you have to agree with that. I agree the demons are different, IMO, were the Nephilim, who once were mortal hybrids of angels and women, who died in the flood, whom God left to roam as the evil spirits over the earth.

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

    The clue is in what Jude writes, in v7, grammatically makes the comparison with these sinning angels and the people of Sodom and Gomorrah, what they did, referring to sexual immorality. 6 And the angels who did not keep their [c]proper domain, but left their own abode, He has reserved in...

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

    They can if they take on human form, that is the idea. Genesis 6 Now it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born to them, 2 that the sons of God saw the daughters of men, that they were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves of all whom...

    2 Peter 2:4 — The Core Passage “For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but cast them into hell and committed them to chains of gloomy darkness to be kept until the judgment…” — 2 Peter 2:4 The word translated as “hell” here is Tartarus (Greek: ταρταρόω), and this is the only time it...

    I have wondered if the angels who sinned, are mostly locked up as it says here, we just do not know their numbers. 2 Peter 2 4 For if God did not spare the angels who sinned, but cast them down to [b]hell and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved for judgment; 5 and did not...

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

    Matthew 4, Satan, devil, same creature, a person, a fallen angel. Someone who has a third of all the angels in league with him, the prince of the power of the air, means more than air pollution. Matthew 4 Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted[a] by the devil. 2...

    Open AI, by 2030 AI becomes the supreme intelligence, far surpassing the intelligence of all people, Musk gives GROK4 to the US government for 42 cent

    Easy, when the fish are not biting, you don't catch anything. You also have to know where they go, they swim all over the place. Then there are these 'dead zones', where the water is anoxic, oxygen levels are lower, the fish avoid that. Fish also have to eat, so they go where they can find food...

    It is big enough two people could live on it. It has an apartment fridge, a shower, bath, head, kitchen with microwave, heat and AC and a 6500 watt generator. I am awful bad fisherman, I would starve.

    I almost never pay cash for anything. I do write a check for the marina fee, as they would want more if I used a credit card. I have an old 1970 wooden Eggharbor 37 foot cruiser. And I have it on the hard stands and been working on the bottom for a year. It may take me another 6 months to get...

    where in the letters did they literally write Jesus is the Father?

    People naturally think God created all things, and He did, but specifically God created all things through Christ. Christ is the Creator. And this something different about our faith versus the religions of the world. Hebrews 1 God, who [a]at various times and in various ways spoke in time past...
