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

    I firmly believe that engaging with the Bible requires the guidance of the Holy Spirit, and that understanding is often shaped by the depth and sincerity of one’s personal study. While I have not yet read the entirety of the Old Testament, I willingly acknowledge that and have, however, read...

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

    When I say this: The Jewish nation deceived the world (the world at that time, the age of that day) in making themselves to be as God, even having killed the Messiah, and even paid for the Guards to tell lies that Jesus body was actually taken away and stolen. It reminds me of the Tower of Babel...

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

    I am just saying that in a spiritual sense that is what Jesus was tempted with in fighting against himself in taking. Jesus was tempted in all ways, and it was a very real thing. The Jewish leaders at the time, would have most certainly welcome him into the fold if Jesus would have submitted to...

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

    Hello Behold, There was definitely a time when the devil and Hades played a major role—but Revelation tells us they’re ultimately done away with. So I’m not sure why we keep circling back to the same debates over and over.

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

    Hello @Behold, The Bible clearly tells us that Hades and Satan are ultimately done away with, so I’m honestly not sure why there’s still such a big fuss over it. I personally believe that part of the story has already been wrapped up—so why keep stressing about it? It seems like you're making...

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

    Hello Behold, Paul never told me anything really. He told people he wrote to concerning those things.

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

    From Microsoft Co-Pilot, Microsoft Copilot: Your AI companion What is Textual criticism? And are we suppose to try to go by the Spirit and see what the scripture is saying sometimes? Great questions—and I love how open-minded and curious you're being here. Exploring these topics isn’t...

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

    Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts, @Brakelite! I really appreciate the time you put into it. Totally get that not everyone will see the connection right away—and that’s okay too. Is there anything wrong with exploring these things though? Are they really a danger? What is Textual...

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

    2 Corinthians 11:14 reminds us, “But I am not surprised! Even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.” This passage can be reflected upon in the context of the religious leadership of Jesus' time. These leaders, perceived as spiritual authorities, often presented themselves as beacons of...

    Are We in the End Times? How Long Do We Have?

    I remember when I was about 13, my friend Danny told me something intense—that in the end times, people would gather your family and chop off their hands until you accepted the number of the beast. That stuck with me, but life kept moving forward. I genuinely feel for those who’ve been misled...

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

    David Lamb, Hope my comments made some sense and added something helpful. You know, just like Peter was called “Satan” when he had his mind set on human concerns instead of God's, I think the religious leaders who handed Jesus over could also be viewed in a similar light. Personally, I...

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

    Hello Stumpmaster, May I pose a question: While Scripture speaks clearly of the Holy Spirit and the Spirit of Christ, is it accurate to say that these are not confined solely to the text itself? In my view, the Spirit of Christ is something one embodies and lives by—it’s a living, active...

    Hello David Lamb, Just musings. Here are some of the comments I’ve already made.

    Is Revenge a Sin?

    Steven, I fully stand by everything I’ve expressed. While I don’t view others as enemies, I do struggle with trust. Still, I sincerely wish people well in their lives. That said, I acknowledge the reality that some individuals act with deep malice—whether mentally, emotionally, spiritually, or...

    Is Revenge a Sin?

    Expound. This is like the first time you’ve responded to me in months. So… it’s a toss up for me. I don’t look as you a stupid person or someone beneath me, you’re a person of faith and a lover of Jesus. So… idk what you mean saying something like that to me; personally. Also steven I said a...

    What is your best argument for the existence of God?

    I’ll pass. I’m not interested. I’ll make my own decisions. Notifications went off linked to this. So idk if you meant to bring me here or not. I’m not interested in these types of videos.

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

    Topic: Satan offers all the kingdoms to Yeshua. (Satan was the religious Jewish Pharisees, that would have given all to him if he would have just bowed down and worshiped them.) The biblical verses that describe Satan offering Jesus the kingdoms of the world are found in Matthew 4:8-10 and...
