Babel presented before Noah's flood. The principle from which Babylon derives its name and therefore called 'the great' is as long as time.

Here is a way I try to understand the relationship between Jesus and the Father... Using our body and it's organs as an illustration....Jesus is the heart of God Jesus has always been with God....revealing God to us in a way we can relate to....flesh and blood ie, sweating, speaking...

Thanks Backlit, you've pulled that together very succinctly.

No issue with the late reply...I can relate. We know of the devil in Eden because we read back into it from information that surfaced later....information like Revelation 20:2 which identifies the Serpent. Ask a religious Jew who the Serpent in the garden was and they'll say, a talking snake of...

When someone stands in your stead to defend you without being asked because you didn't know how to ask and weren't capable of asking it says something about the character of that person. Does anyone know of anyone who would do that?? 'While we were yet sinners, Christ died for the ungodly'...

The second death is mentioned in Revelation 20:14 .....It is the destruction of everything evil.

Ohhhh, well if you're interested, enquiry is helpful.

I have no idea what that acronym is

do you understand what the second death is?

Jesus died the second death.

Phillip told him of course, thats obvious. What is also obvious is that we do not have a record blow by blow so to speak of their conversation......it's summarised as, preaching Jesus.

good on you Fluffy....I'm gunning for you.....and God will give you the strength! Overcoming is the objective.

this is my angle...The Jews erroneously attributed the source of both good and bad to God. It wasn't until Jesus that we learn't who this operator with malevolent designs bent on destruction was and that God had no part in it. It appears the above idea was interchangeable in the Jewish mind...

...and God glories?....for all things are made for his glory.....in the eternal torment of his creatures? This, yes, this is the very picture that Satan has tarred God with and succeeded in persuading many who claim the name of Jesus in superimposing his own malevolent designs onto God. We have...

You might look at 2 Samuel 24:1....it records the same event as your quoted text 1 Chronicles 21:1 In 1 Chronicles 21:1 it tells us it was Satan who inspired David to number Israel where as in 2 Samuel 24:1 it tells us it was the LORD (all in caps) who inspired David to number Israel. In 1...

The influence of other cultures had Israel adopt certain positions later in their history. By the time Jesus arrived, Beelzebub, a Philistine deity was associated with evil. The Shattan however was seen more like we see a prosecutor....one to bring out the truth rather than one who is inherently...

Hell is a whole other subject to explore. Consider this, If God is consistent ie, as in the revealing of himself in Jesus then 'Hell' as it is understood as a place of torment for eternity doesn't fit into the equation.

In our modern civilisation ingesting all sorts of toxins that previous generations weren't subject to, is accelerating. The onslaught is multi pronged and everywhere people suffer. The attacks, physical, mental, emotional and spiritual are not always seen as such and even defended by well...

Satan was see like we might seen the public prosecutor.....the accuser.

No, I'm saying one needs to understand how the Jews saw the element of evil if one is to get a handle on how the scripture writes on this stuff.
