Bible Question:
I have several questions about 1JN 4:1-9. It tells us to TEST the spirits and that every spirit that ACKNOWLEDGES and CONFESSES .... What does this mean?? Satan acknowledges that Jesus is Lord, but confesses?? I don't understand that. I'd think it would mean to PROCLAIM or verbally state, but satan and his dominions lie. They could SAY they believe Jesus is Lord and they've acccepted Him as THEIR LORD, the Son of God, come in the flesh, but be lying... Also it says that acknowledges that JESUS CHRIST is Lord.... I was told that CHRIST is just a title, which meant Messiah or Rabbi. In this day and age we NEED to seek our Lord MORE than EVER and in doing so, must not be tricked. I heard satan puts thoughts in our minds so we might think it's God responding to us when it is not. (And not all can be looked up in the bible...for example if we are praying for the answer as to whether we should choose this job or that one, etc) Thank you for any insight you might offer. |
Bible Answer: Read 1Jn 1-5 very carefully in full context more than once. Also, read Lk 24; Ac 1-2 very carefully more than once. Especially notice Ac 2:21,25,34,36,39,47. Anyone can say the words, 'Jesus Christ is Lord' but not everyone knows why. Read Mt 16:16-17; Gal 1:16. The great apostles had to have a critical Gospel Truth revealed to them and that has not changed. Study Righteousness in the entire NT. |
