    Does Satan run the world? Or does God?

    ”When the 1000 years are ended, Satan will be made free from his prison. He will go out to trick the nations in all the earth, the nations known as Gog and Magog. Satan will gather the people for battle. There will be more people than anyone can count, like sand on the seashore. I saw Satan’s...

    Does Satan run the world? Or does God?

    Scripture also says the devil is done away with. According to John’s vision, written to the 7 churches who are warned of the imitate coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. ”And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, and shall go out to deceive the nations which...

    What's the reason Jesus is 'immortal' and men 'mortals' ?

    Because Jesus was the Word of God and was in the beginning, with God, and is God by virtue of Yahavah speaking - which his Word was able to create. Yahavah sent his Word, which became flesh, named Jesus, and Immanuel (God with us), Jesus as a man was not immortal, but what one sees is that Jesus...

    Once saved, always saved is a myth.

    It looks like there are some here believe osas is something of virtue. Thank you for everyone taking time to share their thoughts and scripture. It still seems that it’s a myth, to me. It’s a task to die daily to oneself and to put God first. It’s a day to day, looking to God and allowing him to...

    Does Satan run the world? Or does God?

    ”Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall...

    ”Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and...

    Does Satan run the world? Or does God?

    Okay. I don’t believe the devil has any effect in the world other than his representation of the power of the darkness. The darkness can consume one’s life. But if your eyes are unhealthy, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that...

    What’s wrong with Personal Sanctification?

    It is in the Bible. YHVH, some bibles may have YHWH. YHVH, is how I’m basing Gods name as Yahavah. God sent his Word down, that was Jesus named Immanuel who was God with us. He was the very expressed image of God, and moved down to being a human being. However within the Lord Jesus was the very...

    Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.

    Once saved, always saved is a myth.

    Yes, there is that caveat as well. Well maybe you’ll just get the hint and leave me be. While I believe myself to be part of the Kingdom, my hope is to be able to maybe enter it after this life. It’s up to me to continue to live and die to myself and pick up the cross and follow after the Lord...
