    The History of Satan

    I don’t worship a Bible. It’s not believing what you or me; say which makes you saved. That much I’m grateful for. It is faith in the Lord Yeshua and his rising again. What you believe concerning the devil/satan. Doesn’t make a faith greater or lesser. What’s important is to continues to seek to...

    The History of Satan

    Yeah, I seen what you shared some here and there but just gleamed a little… I know you don’t believe in an “archetype” fallen Angel, that represented the bad which happens without Yahavah. The Devil was a puppet, in the sense of the word. But me and you will always differ on that aspect. I...

    So you can’t use a dictionary in this debate area? If not, yeah I guess I’m out, and your right F2F.

    The History of Satan

    I don't believe in some devil like tv shows, but you can't say that the devil was not a representation of what is not of God right? That would be a reality, a fact? People loved darkness more than light? (John 3:19)

    Does Satan run the world? Or does God?

    Jesus during his ministry spoke of Satan being cast out. Satan is done away with by the ending of Revelation.

    The History of Satan

    I believe Yahavah used, Rome as Satan to the Israelites. Aside from that the character of Satan is overall, is a Character who is desirous of abstracting light, and embracing darkness. From what I gather, Satan is no longer around anymore anyway. We have our own selves to deal with, be our flesh...

    Taking Back Blessing & Benefitting From Lying

    No doubt. I didn't think had to do with lying, but bullying yes for sure... Harper. I always found the old testament amazing in showing the attitudes of the persons of the time. Really amazing things that we should all take notice of, and I guess that is why "the old testament scriptures -...

    Taking Back Blessing & Benefitting From Lying

    Reminds me of Rahab. Also reminds me of the wife of someone mentioned in Samuel. Perhaps Hannah and Panahana and their discoursing.

    Does Christian Universalism deny the justice of God?

    I’ve never claimed people go straight into the kingdom when they die… you ever read my threads? On those subjects… there may be some time involvement, there may be people moving out of the kingdom to the outside… There is a lot of speculation… but faithless people and faithful people are indeed...

    Does Christian Universalism deny the justice of God?

    I’m good and stand on what I’ve shared with you Steven, while you accept universalism and share your reasons, that’s fine with me. I’m not Yahavah. the God of Israel. It seems he has place for people who have faith in faithlessness? And those who are faithful… Inside or outside the kingdom...

    Can loved one come from paradise to temporarily comfort grieving spouse??

    My concerns of the afterlife with the descriptions of the Kingdom. Maybe there are people who then even so, can come to Yahavah. Of course it’s their choice to come from the darkness to the light. Yahavah is not a God of Force.

    Are you sending your neighbors to Hell?

    That’s where you’re confused. I don’t believe in “universalism,” period. That just says all people go straight into heaven when they die… the salvation for all being had I do believe in, but not everyone going straight into the Kingdom in the afterlife…...

    Are you sending your neighbors to Hell?

    Hello, Steven You Sent by you: Can you show me the bible verse that talks about hell being done away with by John in Revelation/ Copilot Sent by Copilot: Certainly! The verse you’re referring to is likely Revelation 20:14. It states: This verse describes the final judgment where death and...

    Populist Viewpoint vs Verified Facts

    Yes hello again. Thank you for explaining how you feeling. There are objective truths in the bible. Then their are the subjective decisions in which one applies what they read to their life or not to some degree, and their is living by the holy spirit and personal sanctification which one allows...

    July ??/24 What is the most important thing to you? Number one normally is family, friends, and perhaps mutual acquaintances is most certainly a qualifier of life each of us to get to behold right within our own Basin urn Call it living in a body, homeaway from home. A soul in a vessel...

    What kind of Study material do you use?

    Me and the Father have our relationship together. I believe during this time that I had ordered it. I was seeking for more information to be useful in terms of being able to make presentations and continue to teach and be able to have a good resource and information to go through and sift...
