Zone1 Just a reminder about the devil.

You agreed with me.

But I didn't.

You are just probably too narcissistic to realize it.

Yes, you did.

 

[ding]

Yes, you did.

I didn't. Maybe God wants you to suffer.

It wouldnt surprise me. He did do that to his own "kid"
Pulled some statutory rape, just to create someone to die a miserable death.

Maybe he thinks you deserve to suffer. Or maybe you think you deserve to suffer.

The question isnt relevant to me. I am not omniscient. God is. So he would have known before he created them.
I cant possibly know that.

Consider God's existence as being outside of time. God knows everything will be all right, and everything will be very good. On the other hand, our existence unfolds through time. We get to see our part of creation, minute by minute, as it unfolds.

Satan is like the prosecuting attorney against mankind. An example is in the book of Job.

It's the book of Zechariah where Satan is the prosecuting attorney.
In Job. He is the false accuser. Just like all of Jobs "friends".

Job's only wife that didnt get stolen/killed "thought his breath smelled bad"....told him to curse God and die. (To free her of her misery of being with him.....she was the ultimate in bad wives)

In Matthew he is seen tempting Jesus with various sins in the wilderness.

This is a fact around which I frame my prayer every day. Important.

Thanks for posting this.

Mankind is constantly under attack by the devil and the demons. Christians and others who believe this shouldn't let their guard down spiritually or physically. Those who don't believe this are likely being used by the devil to attack us.

There s no devil what load of crap

The scientists have noticed something....
Time isn't as static as we think....especially our past. Our past is fluid
There are these "nexis" moments where the past changes.....beyond this Mandela effect.
Statistically these nexis moments happen most around those who have been prayed for....whether they knew about the prayers or not.

Kinda weird IMHO....but proven by science.
Keep up with the prayers....and if any chance....I could always use a good word spoken about me....I'm always in trouble. Any help i can get......

The devil is "the god of this world". This is pretty obvious.

 

[Care4all]

What i was taught from youth:

The devil isn't red with horns and a pitch fork. He reaches us and influences us, by being one of us, through the spirit of deceit and trickery and seemingly benign and good and favorable actions in your eyes that makes you trust him, and ......makes you blind.

If the Devil wore his red outfit and carried a pitch fork, even the worst of the worst would run from him.

But THAT is not how he works....

(One bad apple, spoils the whole damn bunch.)

devils and demons are a part of mankind and very much a part of the desert religions as other institutions ...

as for religious perspective the very reason for the 1st century events, jesus is to remove the demonacism of that present religion and those that followed using the same preamble in their bibles - as false commandments and origination's for life's pursuits.

as the new pope has stated - a great sin for those religions to have allowed for and benefited from slavery for centuries and remains palatable in all three desert bibles.

This is a fact around which I frame my prayer every day. Important.

While I have never read his book (written in the early 1950s), JB Phillip's sentiment in Your God is Too Small often comes to mind here. Too often, he says, people's concept of God remains the concept they formed of God as a child.

Too often we see posts here where people are arguing against their childhood/childish concept of God, and therefore never come to grips with the actual reality which is greater than what we, even as adults, find difficult to grasp. This childhood concept is seen even in adult science where someone once devised the experiment of praying for those who were seriously ill.

First, these scientists either forgot--or ignored--one of the first basic premises of God: He cannot be tested. Second, they were treating prayers as a person commanding his/her genie. Third, that expectation of prayers being granted instantly in the form commanded by the one(s) who prays. I remember a story of one mother who wrote down her prayer requests for her children, and was diligent about praying for them. I think the account goes that while she never stopped saying general prayers for her children, over time she forgot about those specific prayers until she came across the list of those prayer requests tucked into her Bible. It was then she realized, that over time, each prayer had been answered--many in ways she hadn't even imagined possible through events she had (at the time) deplored.

Great post!

Yes, almost everyone I know from church does the same thing -- writes specific prayer intentions in notes that they tuck into their Bibles, as well as missals and other prayer books. Wonderful way to pray! Thank you for reminding me of this.
