    Satan and his demons are real beings/entities (with personalities) not abstract evil within unregenerate man

    And I'm telling you 2 Pe 2:4 does not depict fallen angels of God as the ungodly in the days of Noah. The literal translation if angelos had been correctly translated, we see it is speaking about human messengers and not fallen angels of God. In the days of Seth these human messengers (sons of...

    Satan and his demons are real beings/entities (with personalities) not abstract evil within unregenerate man

    At least you admit it is your opinion! Just saying after the creation of man, Satan turned evil does not prove he was created an angel of God and became Satan through freely choosing to disobey God!

    The Baptism That Saves: What Most People Miss in Acts 11:16

    Through hearing the gospel preached! We must first hear the message about Christ, to trust in Christ, afterward we believe being sealed with the Holy Spirit. Ephesians 1:12-14 (KJV) That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ. In whom ye also trusted, after that...

    Satan and his demons are real beings/entities (with personalities) not abstract evil within unregenerate man

    Where can we find this spirit called Satan before being cast out, was created an angel of God and then became Satan? These verses show us the serpent, being Satan was evil from creation. So evil in fact that he was able to corrupt the mind of Eve and through that deception brought sin and...

    The Baptism That Saves: What Most People Miss in Acts 11:16

    However, the baptism that now saves us is not of water which cleans only the flesh, but the baptism with the Holy Spirit, and fire that makes even the conscience clean. 1 Peter 3:21 (KJV) The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the...

    Satan and his demons are real beings/entities (with personalities) not abstract evil within unregenerate man

    Yes, that's the common mythological legend passed down by men of Old from generation to generation the on-going argument ensues. The name Lucifer is mentioned only one time in the Bible. The name means brightness and morning star. The name is used in reference to the king of Babylon, a...

    Satan and his demons are real beings/entities (with personalities) not abstract evil within unregenerate man

    If you've been following this discussion, you'll find that some here believe that Satan was created an angel of God, before of his own free will he chose to disobey God and became the unclean spirit, Satan.

    Satan and his demons are real beings/entities (with personalities) not abstract evil within unregenerate man

    Yes, and unclean spirits have never been ministering spirits sent to minister to the heirs of salvation. That's how we know that Satan was not created an angel of God who chose to disobey God and become the unclean spirit, Satan. Hebrews 1:7 (KJV) And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his...

    TWO GOSPELS

    The Bible tells us that Christ ushered in the New Covenant through His blood when He came to earth a man. If you're still waiting for the New Covenant through the blood of Christ to come when Christ comes again, I really don't know how I can help you! If the New Covenant through the blood of...

    TWO GOSPELS

    Rather than replacement theology, I believe the Bible teaches Inclusive Theology where there is neither Jew nor Gentile because the two have become ONE people in Christ. No longer known according to race, but according to having a new heart and new spirit through the Spirit of Christ in us.

    TWO GOSPELS

    All Christians are looking for the earthly Kingdom of God to come! However, the Kingdom of God we look for shall not come to this earth that is destined to destruction, rather we look for the Kingdom of God that shall be after this first heaven and earth have passed away, then the Kingdom of...

    TWO GOSPELS

    Satan and his demons are real beings/entities (with personalities) not abstract evil within unregenerate man

    Good to hear from you again TS! Yes, the light and darkness are literal. Both symbolizing the True Light that brings life to the world, and also the darkness symbolizing death the seeks to overcome the True Light. The spiritual battle between the forces of Light and the forces of Darkness...

    Satan and his demons are real beings/entities (with personalities) not abstract evil within unregenerate man

    Regarding this passage from Hebrews, I posted: Exodus 20:11 (KJV) For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day and hallowed it. To which you replied: "Of course. I didn't say...

    Satan and his demons are real beings/entities (with personalities) not abstract evil within unregenerate man

    There is no contrast, they all receive the same fate. Eric, the MESSENGERS who sinned (sons of God), are ungodly humans who lived in the days when man began to call upon the name of the Lord, and the ungodly humans who lived in the days of Noah. God tells us the same fate awaits both ages. The...

    Jesus Chooses Us

    Joe, I didn't mean I that you should not argue. It seems you are inducing me to argue for Monergism. That would not be beneficial to the OP who wishes to know if one might find comfort through believing the Sovereign Grace Doctrines, labeled Monergism.

    Jesus Chooses Us

    Joe, you are not adhering to the wishes of the OP. The desire was not to argue, but rather to post why one would believe in the doctrines called Monergism. Monergism does not support your doctrine of universal salvation. Monergism defends the doctrine of 'limited atonement' not unlimited...

    The Baptism That Saves: What Most People Miss in Acts 11:16

    This is absolutely biblical! Excellent expose on the baptism that saves. Water baptism commanded by Christ for the New Covenant body, like circumcision commanded by God for the Old Covenant body. Both of these 'signs' signified separation from the world in unbelief. It is a means of...

    What if the book of Revelations was written before AD 70 ?

    The Church on earth, of which Christians are is the representation of heavenly Jerusalem, where there is most certainly persecution, suffering and death. The two witnesses are two olive trees and two candlesticks, which are the Church of Old, proclaiming Christ through the Law and Prophets, and...

    TWO GOSPELS

    Why would anyone, since Christ has come and done away with the Old Covenant under the Law, to establish the New Covenant in His blood, preach of the old earthly kingdom? The only ones looking for the earthly kingdom of David are Israelites in unbelief who are still looking for the promised...
