I agree that we do not know the details of the fall of Satan. But we do know that the devil, Satan and the serpent refer to the same being: Re 12:9 So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and...

But that isn't the bible contradicting itself. The fact that it speaks of opposites like salvation and damnation isn't a contradiction (just to give one example from your pairings). It would be a contradiction if it said in one place that those who believe in the Lord Jesus Christ are saved...

Don't worry about it.

Not really sure what you mean, or how your post relates to mine. Probably my fault. Perhaps you could explain.

It is not just Strong's. The Concordance in by Bible software program has: "AV-Eden 17; 17 Eden= "pleasure" n loc m 1) the first habitat of man after the creation; site unknown n pr m 2) a Gershonite Levite, son of Joah in the days of King Hezekiah of Judah" If the Jews do not believe...

The word translated "garden" is given this entry in Strong's Concordance: 01588. gan [gan;] from 01598; a garden (as fenced): garden. "Eden" has this entry: 05731. Eden [ay -den;] the same as 05730 (masculine); Eden, the region of Adam's home: Eden. The words Satan and devil do...

"Hopefully connect to those listening to him ?" Really? That is not the reason Jesus gave for why He used parables: “9 Then His disciples asked Him, saying, “What does this parable mean?” 10 And He said, “To you it has been given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God, but to the rest it...

No we don't have one God telling another God anything. God is Father, Son and Holy Spirit, one God in three "persons." Also, it is strange that you call yourself a Christian, yet you talk of" the silly twisted logic employed by Christendom." Lastly, you still haven't answered my question...

But that doesn't answer the fact that there is only one God. How can the Word Who came in the flesh be "a god", different to the one true God? How can the Word be "a god," as you claim, without being a false god, like Baal?

I have just looked at 26 different English translations of the bible, and not a single one translates it as "the Word is godly," or as "the Word is a god." If the Word were merely godly, how could all things have been made through Him? If the Word was a god, then He must have been a false...

I would imagine that if your saw nothing morally wrong with stealing, and only didn't steal because you were worried about the consequences, you would probably be committing another sin, coveting, wanting something belonging to somebody else. Also, even thinking stealing is not morally wrong is...

That's a ridiculous suggestion. As far as I know, zipcodes are only found in America. Certainly not in heaven or hell. I wonder what your point is in asking whether hell has one.

Yet John opens his gospel saying: “1 ¶ In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.” (Joh 1:1-3 NKJV) “And the Word became flesh and...

Where do we read of God telling Cain that if he did good he’d rule the younger all the days of his life? God said to Cain: “Why are you angry? And why has your countenance fallen? 7 “If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin lies at the door. And its desire is...

I am thankful because I could never have freed myself from my sins or their just punishment by God. I needed a Saviour. Jesus Christ is that Saviour. He took the punishment for my sins, and gave me His perfect righteousness. He ever lives to make intercession for me. He promises to be with...

I think the doctrines of grace are wonderful, because they put salvation from beginning to end firmly with almighty God. He caused me to believe on His Son. He keeps and protects me. He forgives my sin, and grants me eternal life, and so on. Praise His wonderful name!

Yes. I just wondered whether your question asking whether I could name any Bishops that were the husband of one wife was asking whether I know of any bishops/overseers mentioned in the bible who fulfil those conditions, or people I know personally today. I know plenty of...

Do you mean church overseers today, or those in the bible?

Surely their would be no Christianity if there were no afterlife. If there were no afterlife, Christ would not have risen from the dead, and I am sure you know what Paul argues from that: “But if there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ is not risen. And if Christ is not risen, then...

According to Strong's Concordance, the Greek word translated "adoption as sons" in the KJV ("adoption as children" in the NKJV) has the following entry: 5206. huiothesia [hwee-oth-es-ee -ah;] from a presumed compound of 5207 and a derivative of 5087; the placing as a son, i.e...
