    What is your take? Satan was the Religious Zealots of that time.

    Man I can’t stand people sometimes. All you’re interested is in debating, not really truly dialoguing… That’s what I hate the most about how people go about some things… Especially on here. But atleast I can be honest about it… It will be good to actually start working and get away from here...

    What is your take? Satan was the Religious Zealots of that time.

    did God create evil This is one of the most profound and debated questions in theology—and the short answer is: God did not create evil as a substance or force, but He did create beings with free will, which made the possibility of evil real. Here are the key ideas drawn from Scripture and...

    What is your take? Satan was the Religious Zealots of that time.

    If there were a spirit that tempted Satan, that would be the real Satan.... I don't think so... I believe it was the darkness... that God created. That tempted him.... Because Remember Satan was a created Angel... He was with God and God let him do what he wanted in the heavenly realms. Do...

    What is your take? Satan was the Religious Zealots of that time.

    Lforrest, Is there no way to see that the Religous Zealots, who obscured the truth of Yeshua, to be seen as god of that world that lived in? That is my ulitmate question, is there absolutely zero possibility? Because I believe your answer will be yes, that is a total possibility. I really...

    What is your take? Satan was the Religious Zealots of that time.

    He was writing to the people of Ephesus specifically.,.. Are there spiritual applications people can gain from it today ? Yes… but the devil in revelation is defeated… So people wrestle around with spiritual darkness and their own self….. I ain’t into trying to make stuff up just to keep...

    What is your take? Satan was the Religious Zealots of that time.

    You’re lying about that. He was writing for those whom would be the bride of Christ. It’s alright though if you disagree cause at the end of the day I gotta make my own choice and I want to do my best to follow the spirit.

    What is your take? Satan was the Religious Zealots of that time.

    Satan was the religious Pharisees, Who blinded people to the truth of Jesus Christ…. Why doesn’t this click with anyone? They were the “god of that world” that age… When temple sacrifices and things where going on? I don’t understand how people miss these things they don’t even try to...

    What is your take? Satan was the Religious Zealots of that time.

    Who is Paul writing to? Jesus said people loved darkness more than the light. Doesn’t say anything about Satan there. How do you reconcile those things?

    What is your take? Satan was the Religious Zealots of that time.

    I don’t believe Satan created Darkness @Behold. I believe the absence of God himself is what is the darkness consist of. God made the darkness. Yes—Isaiah 45:7 is a powerful verse that directly speaks to this: This verse emphasizes God's sovereignty over all aspects of creation, including...

    What is your take? Satan was the Religious Zealots of that time.

    Lforrest, I've been thinking—perhaps it was darkness that first tempted Satan. That possibility has been on my mind. I often reflect on my own capacity for wrongdoing. Can you look in the mirror and say, "I am capable of evil"? I can, and I know there are things within me that I have to wrestle...

    What is your take? Satan was the Religious Zealots of that time.

    Darkness still exists in this world, and I'm mindful to stay on guard—especially when I sense something or someone trying to draw me away from God. While many believe the devil is constantly influencing people, Scripture tells us that Satan will ultimately be dealt with. So the real question...

    What is your take? Satan was the Religious Zealots of that time.

    Is it though? Why? The Religious Zealots were actively opposed to God, especially even Jesus. What's so wrong with seeing them as Satan, and in revelation Satan had become done away with.

    WHAT IS THIS WORLD REALLY ABOUT? WHY ARE WE HERE?

    Here’s a condensed summary of your detailed reflection, organized into key themes and points: New Wine & Old Bottles (Luke 5:37–38) Spiritual growth requires openness and renewal. Old ways or rigid beliefs may “burst” when faced with deeper truths or revelations. The Idea of a Pre-Adamic...

    Fake Christians

    OK, so there’s no point in condemning, but there is a reason to call the law if something is wrong that’s why we have it. There are people that go and do prison ministries and share the word of Jesus that’s great isn’t it? I will say that I don’t really care for what the world projects is...

    Fake Christians

    There ain’t one perfect human being on this forum there ain’t one perfect human being in this life. There was one perfect human being that taught us his way of many people don’t like his way. They rather try to take control and have it their own way and that’s just the truth, but by all means do...

    Fake Christians

    When you believe it’s up to you, what you do with your life is up to you. I’m not gonna go around condemning people for what they do unless it’s something egregious like pedophilia. Everyone is accountable for their own life. You can “scripture all you like that’s fine but do you ever try to...

    Fake Christians

    It’s easy for people to forget the deeper truths in Scripture—and sometimes even overlook what Jesus actually taught. Throughout His ministry, He never directly addressed topics like homosexuality, yet many focus on these areas in ways that feel more hurtful than helpful. Sadly, prejudice still...
