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

    I agree! Satan, called serpent in the beginning is and always has been the father of lies and murderer. The lie was not of them dying, it was in they would become as God. A&E would deceived into believing they could be their own gods, and be in control of their own destiny. They chose...

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

    NO! I agree with the Word of God! Angels are messengers of good, and Satan is a messenger of evil, who is a liar and murderer from the beginning of creation.

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

    These Old Testament humans were, like Noah to be messengers of God. But they gave themselves over to sin, and chose the things of the world rather than God. Noah alone was righteous before God. So these human messengers of God are kept in the deepest, darkness abyss to be reserved for...

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

    The Bible is not explicitly clear on the origins for when the spirits, both angels and demonic came into existence. We have only this: 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...

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

    They cannot rebut truth which is why they seldom address what is actually said. However I do notice today that WPM has at least tried to make an argument against the truths presented. I've replied with rebuttals to them from the Word, I will wait to see whether my replies will be received...

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

    Which is one problem with translations. The Greek word angelos would have caused less confusion and forcing contradiction into the Word of God if it had simply been translated 'messenger' as found in The Concordant Version of Holy Scripture. CV - For if God spares not sinning messengers, but...

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

    Scott, if Satan is a fallen angel why is it said speaking of him: John 8:44 (KJV) Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of...

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

    All of mankind until they are born again of the Spirit of Christ in them is spiritually speaking of the spirit of Satan, or of the Spirit of Christ. All man walk according to the spirit (mind/heart/will/emotions) that is in them. If the spirit of evil, we are of our father the Devil, if the...

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

    NO! Devils are evil invisible spirits, they are NOT angels! I find it extraordinary that one as learned as you cannot distinguish between evil spirits of Satan, and angels spirits of God both of which are MESSENGERS. And equally extraordinary that you could believe that Satan, who was, is and...

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

    2 Peter 2:4 (KJV) For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment; These angels are those human messengers of God from Old, who lived in the days of Noah and the flood. This is NOT speaking of...

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

    Of course, I don't believe Satan was once an angel of God until he rebelled against God! Why would I believe something that forces contradiction and confusion into the Word of God?

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

    With this statement you are not being truthful, but dishonest if you are directing this to me: "a real Satan, who they deny exists."

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

    It appears we agree in something! Matthew 22:29-32 (KJV) Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God. For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven. But as touching the...

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

    The parable/lamentations are speaking of those to whom the prophet was to address. They are NOT allusions to Satan, rather they speak truth of how the hearts and minds of man have become evil continually, because like the serpent in the garden tested A&E and they succumbed to the same...

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

    The difference between an angel of God and the one who imitates as an angel of light is that the angel of God is to serve God for good, and the masquerader serves Satan for evil. Using 2Cor 11:14 to prove Satan is a fallen angel of God does not support what is alleged. All that it proves is...

    WAS JESUS WRONG?

    The Pup Why did Christ speak this parable? Isn't it because the Jews were expecting the Messiah/Saviour to come to this earth in a material/physical Kingdom like that of King David? The parable speaks of those who remain in hardness and unbelief, so Christ spoke this parable that they might...

    Rapture ... soon?

    It's not that angels are human, angels are spirits that serve God. The Greek word angelos is also translated messenger as we find with John the Baptist and even Epaphroditus. The word translated of John is from the same Greek word angelos but there is speaks of a human messenger and not a...

    WAS JESUS WRONG?

    Greetings The Pup, You show excellent understanding of the Kingdom of God. When you say that Christ did not come with His Kingdom when He came to earth a man, I cannot accept that. Because the Word, spoken by Christ, tells us that Christ did indeed come to this world as man with the Kingdom...

    Rapture ... soon?

    Again, if it's goofy, why have you not made a biblical case against it?

    Rapture ... soon?

    Yes, an unbiblical doctrine taught not through the Word of God but from the mind of man that has been perpetuated down the years, through the seasons, much like the doctrine of dispensationalism. You've yet to prove I have not biblically defended the doctrine I have learned from the Word of...
