Yes, and according to the inspired Word of God which is profitable for doctrine, reproof, correction, and instruction in righteousness, not only is Satan a being but his angels are also. Rev 12:9 So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives...

So good to see stuff in the Bible on the internet. SPIRITUAL ARMOUR Helmet of Salvation = Thoughts Free of Condemnation. Breastplate of Righteousness = Heart Full of Godliness. Girdle of Truth = Covering Secured by Living Proof. Footwear of the Preparation of the Gospel of Peace =...

Christians have the armour of God for a reason. Too bad if they don't put it on because the devil likes to kill and steal and destroy. Eph 6:11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

What about it?

The Gospel has been spreading since antiquity. Genesis 3:15 says, “I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel.” Known as the protoevangelium, or first gospel, this verse announces the curse on mankind...

Hi Patrick1966. I hope you are keeping well and praising the Lord for His many blessings. Here is my contribution to your thread. The corruption of Christianity is a serious and complex issue that has plagued the history of the faith for centuries. Christianity, as a religion based on the...

I know where a liner called Farouk is. If it is the same one he hasn't gone bush and isn't on holiday. This one likes to talk about attitudes to tattoos and piercings among Christians. Obsessed about this some say. Might get a ban if tensions mount.

If logic and linguistics are ignored confusion results, so that a defeated foe is erroneously declared to be dead, inanimate, and non-existent. This erroneous declaration contradicts Biblical prophecy of present and future interactions with Satan prior to his casting into the Lake of Fire, and...

You believe that Satan is dead to you, MatthewG, but it is a logical fallacy to insist therefore he is actually dead to everyone and no longer active in lives anywhere. Christians know that Satan is their defeated foe, but he is still our Adversary nevertheless. Jas 4:7 Therefore submit to...

Well alright then. Now we're getting somewhere. The writers of the NT had good reason to mention folk falling from grace and falling short, or failing of it, and even some potentially doing despite to, or insulting the Spirit of grace. Meanwhile, where sin abounds grace also abounds. Rom...

I still only commented on the one line I agreed with. Nek minit big swathe of hostile accusations. What's that about?

Chill out, Brother Behold. I responded by way of edification, comfort, and encouragement to Episkopos regarding the excellent line he wrote namely, "By grace we fulfill that standard." Falling from grace is not the end of the world if being rebuked for it leads to being restored to it.

Amen. Justified and standing in God's Grace. Good one, Episkopos. Rom 5:1-2 Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, (2) through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

I had edited my comment whilst you were composing your vectored speculations. See this thread also: Who Falls From Grace & Who Falls Short Of It? | Page 5 | Christian Forums @ Christianity Board

I suppose by leaving their great love of Christ they have fallen from grace. As I read it they didn't lose their first love, they left it, possibly for procedural formality. Doing first works that equate to one's first love of Christ , , , what could they be?

Mar 9:43-48 If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life maimed, rather than having two hands, to go to hell, into the fire that shall never be quenched— (44) where 'THEIR WORM DOES NOT DIE AND THE FIRE IS NOT QUENCHED.' (45) And if your foot causes...

It shouldn't matter to you what I do, say, think, or believe since you promote Relativism here. You can't have your cake intact and eat it too.

All eschatological views are correct? The phrasing of this question is similar to the Titles of Debate our debating teams were given back in my school days. The affirmative team would employ the conditional terms "if" and "when" to argue such statements, so in this case "All eschatological...

Yes. There is a place for humour in preaching, but not in the flesh at the expense of godly edification

Hi stunnedbygrace. Crickets you say? I hope you don't kill them. When they come inside we flick them into a cup and cover it then release them outside away from the house.
