    Growing In Christ

    Instead of quitting altogether, try breaking it up. Each time you start a new subject, start a new thread. That way people will participate or not according the title of the thread. Other sub-topics are sometimes lost to new people who only see the title... Just a suggestion.

    Is Satan a real entity or a metaphor for evil?

    "And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are." John 17:11 "They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world." John 17:16

    Is Satan a real entity or a metaphor for evil?

    How many times in the four gospels do we find Jesus speaking to His Father? Is that an unusual thing for him? Consider this: "And he went a little farther, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as...

    Sorry LOL I am not joining the thread, but I read the question and hoped to be helpful.

    Is Satan a real entity or a metaphor for evil?

    Yes, "none that understandeth"! That is where carnal man is. Every person born of woman is carnal. God told David to seek His face. Jesus told us to seek first His Kingdom and His righteousness. What can we see or understand? Paul writes that we, including Paul himself, do not see clearly but...

    Is Satan a real entity or a metaphor for evil?

    How many have got onto you about such a belief? [No, don't answer that. I am not getting onto you about it.] That would mean we were murderers from the beginning [John 8:44] having indeed murdered our very selves. But then God having His plan for a more abundant Life sent Jesus to us [John 10:10].

    Is Satan a real entity or a metaphor for evil?

    So then while each of us remains in any measure double minded when we quench the Spirit of the new man, the old man directs the tongue defiling the body and causing us to burn with the lusts of the eyes and the flesh. That is hell indeed and remains until and if we look to God asking that He...

    If he is not me, can he make me say anything?

    Is Satan a real entity or a metaphor for evil?

    If a person really needs that... God certainly knows it. I don't believe that I need it... but LOL, I have been wrong before. If we are sincere and we are following Him closerly, will He not change whatever needs to be changed?

    What does the Christian need to do when they have sinned?

    Be careful Nancy: We may well confess that we ourselves in our flesh alone cannot stop sinning, but should we limit God and ask accusing questions of others! "And they were astonished out of measure, saying among themselves, Who then can be saved? And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men...

    Is Satan a real entity or a metaphor for evil?

    I did not vote but I would also lean away from the existence of a separate entity

    Is Satan a real entity or a metaphor for evil?

    And if we get this right but miss seeing God, where does that leave us? If we look in the mirror and are unable to see Satan, should we go looking for him? Should we seek the face of God or the face of the devil? What was it God told David? "When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said...

    Is Christian mysticism a good thing?

    You are not on the forum anymore, but I know as a non-member you should be able to read this. I am holding you up before God in prayer. If we both stand with Him, we will come together soon. Give God the glory!

    Does it concern you that gospels were written so many years after Jesus died?

    And if it comes out of any other mouth, what will it accomplish? Sometimes people ask questions because they really do not know God's answers and they are really seriously interested rather than purposely mocking or trying to put anyone down. They may just be a inexperienced and foolish young...

    Praise God indeed!

    What purpose does it serve?

    For man's glory! 1 Thes 4: [16] For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: For God's glory!

    Just Praising God

    Hello again @Miss Hepburn I for one remember you well. You are one of those very humble servants of God. I don't mean to inflate your head, but you did impress me favorably and the memory of your Spirit stayed with me even though you have been missing for a long while. Give God the glory dear...
