    Pentecostalism: The Glorification of the Flesh

    1Co 14:18-19 I thank God that I speak in tongues more than all of you. (19) But in the ekklesia, I would rather speak five coherent words to instruct others than ten thousand words in a tongue. Conduct noted.

    Does Satan really need God's permission before doing (literally) anything and everything?

    That doesn't prove your notion that Satan is "an aspect" of God.

    Does Satan really need God's permission before doing (literally) anything and everything?

    Yes, whilst Satan opposes God he is not equally opposite to God who is supreme above all things. Satan and his angels are not equally opposite to Michael the Archangel and His angels either. (Rev 12:7) Then a war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the...

    Why didn't God destroy Satan at the beginning?

    Yes, In heaven OBEDIENCE was and is mandatory, which mandate Lucifer was first to violate. See comparisons in Isaiah 14 & Ezekiel 28 Isa 14:12-15 "How you are fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How you are cut down to the ground, You who weakened the nations! (13) For you...

    What Is "Predestination"? How Does It Shape Your Daily Life?

    The Laws of Nature predetermine our natural births, and our natural features. Our spiritual birth occurs when God's Grace becomes available to us following the seed of the Gospel germinating in our hearts which are made fertile and receptive through various God-ordained ministrations. I hate...

    What Is "Predestination"? How Does It Shape Your Daily Life?

    The Bible gives the reason for unbelief, and initially it is of Satanic origin, not Divine Predetermination. 2Co 4:4 The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers so they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. Eph 2:1-2 And you were...

    Why didn't God destroy Satan at the beginning?

    AYMK (As You May Know) Opposition to God and His Purposes and His People began with Satan, who recruits whomever he can to join him in such opposition. My point is that due to the continuum of opposition to God, opposition from God is inevitable and justified, culminating in His final...

    God The Father In The Old Testament

    Reading some recent posts prompted me to put this summary together. Ok, it's the sort of thing that Bible Colleges require their students to study, but with good reason, namely to dispel any notion that the concept of God as a Father is only a New Testament one. God Declares Himself The Father...

    Why didn't God destroy Satan at the beginning?

    Yes, opposition to God is met with opposition to Satan and his cohort. 1Co 15:21-24 For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man. (22) For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive. (23) But each in his own turn: Christ the...
