1 | Where did Satan come from? | Ezek 28:12 | Chaz47122 | 108863 | ||
Satan came from God...on the first day, God created the heavens (including angles...) and he first created Lucifer (later named Satan). Just imagine him as Gods right hand man...God created him to be very beautiful and knowledgeable. Later, God created earth, and then came Adam and then Eve. Lucifer was then assigned to be on Earth with them both. Adam and Eve were told to comand all the beasts on Earth. Lucifer thought this to be unfair and he grew very jealous. Why should these humans have such a great gift and and we angles are very powerful...we should get Earth! he thought. He then started speaking to all of the other angles and tried to form his own type of malitia (1/3 of heavens population...). While he was on earth with Adam and Eve, he walked over to Eve and whispered to her and said "The only reason God doesnt want you to eat of the tree is because it will open your eyes and give you wisdom like his!" His plan behind this, was to make God realize that humans didnt deserve such a gift as Earth because they couldnt obey him. This backfired on him as you will see later... This sounded very good to Eve of course and she disobeyed God and ate of the tree and went to Adam and talked him into it too. Satan didnt exactly lie to them...but twisted the truth so it would sound good to them. He said it would open their eyes and give them wisdom, which it did! They realized they were naked and it embarrassed them. Which by eating of the fruit, it also took away their innocence...making it possible for them to sin. God came walking through the garden one day and adam and ever were hiding from him in shame and they were kicked out of the garden. Satan was then cast down from heaven to stay on Earth (along with is malitia of 1/3 of heaven...). He was then named Behesabul (which literally means, "Lord of the Flies"). Well I hope this helps a little, if anyone disagrees with anything I have said please let me know! Chance |

V5 Who shall give account to Him That is ready to judge the quick and the dead. This is talking about the spiritually living (Christians) and the spiritually dead (everyone else). It should be noted that some Christians can also be spiritually dead. They are spiritually dead because they have the Mark of the Beast. On judgment day, everyone will have to give account for the idle words that they say during their life. So when your trying to improve your life, don't let any negative words that somebody might say to you get you down. They will have to answer to God for what they said and God does not like it one bit when some one tries to stop one of His children from worshiping His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ. V6 For this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit. They heard the gospel but for one reason or another, they did not accept Jesus Christ and follow His teachings. Now they are spiritually dead. They will have a chance for eternal life after the thousand year reign of Christ. But to get into heaven then, they are judged according to their works. If they would have followed Christ now, they could have done it on faith. V7 But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer. When we pray, we need to keep our thoughts on God and what we are praying about. Not thinking about what we are going to do after our prayer. Don't make a big show when you pray like waving your hands in the air, but just talk to God. You are not going to impress God by yelling and jumping around like I see on television. V8 And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins. We need to have love for others. When you love a person you do not want to hurt them but take care of them and do that which is good in God's eyes. We all are brothers and sisters in our Lord Jesus Christ. If you had more love in you, you would not have murdered or raped a person in the first place. God is all for capital punishment and Jesus Christ did not do away with that law. God knows what is best for His children and when some one murders or rapes, they have no rights with God and must be put to death. By doing this, this country will be a safer place to live for the ones that do follow God's laws. By following God's law on capital punishment, we will be safer two ways. Number one: there is one less person alive to hurt another. Number two: by killing the murderers and rapists, others that might be thinking about doing the same will now think twice about doing it. Very few people in the world really want to die. If you could ask a murder or rapist would they have done it if they knew for sure that they would be caught and put to death the day they were found guilty, I bet the answer would be no. Right now there is very little reason for a person not to murder or rape. The so called life sentence that the people get for doing such crimes are a joke. After a number of years, they get out of prison on so called good behavior only to murder and rape again. God's law tells us that they do it once and they are to be killed. They have no rights because they gave them up when they committed that crime. I really hope this clears things up for everyone who happens to read! God bless! Chance |

Deuteronomy 22:25-27 V25 But if a man find a betrothed damsel in the field, and the man force her, and lie with her: then the man only that lay with her shall die: V26 But unto the damsel thou shalt do nothing; there is in the damsel no sin worthy of death: for as when a man riseth against his neighbour, and slayeth him, even so is this matter: V27 For he found her in the field, and the betrothed damsel cried, and there was none to save her. When a person is forced into doing things of a sexual nature, that is rape and the rapist must be killed. The woman cried for help but there was no one around to help her. Men and children can also be raped and the punishment is the same for the rapist, death. Does some one guilty of one of these crimes ever have any chance of eternal life? Yes they do. There is only one unforgivable sin and murder and rape are not it. So murders and rapist can have eternal life but not until judgment day when they see God face to face. Seeing that this country does not follow God's laws to well, there are some things that these people can do now that will help them on judgment day. So all hope is not lost. James 5:19-20 V19 Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him; V20 Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins. Now remember we are going by God's law so even if a person is found not guilty by this country's legal system, it is God that you have to answer to. Your slick lawyer will not be there for you on judgment day. So you must be honest with yourself and repent of your sins and change your ways. After you do that, then you can help others change their ways. I Peter 4:1-8 V1 Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin; The kind of suffering being talked about here is for doing good and following the examples of Jesus Christ. When you decide to follow Jesus Christ and not live an evil life anymore, people are going to turn on you. From Satan on down to your friends and family that do not follow Christ. They are going to try and lead you astray. This is true of any one that follows Jesus Christ and God's Word. Satan wants you to join him in the lake of fire and your friends and family realize they are sinners. A murderer or rapist is one of Satan's best friends but now that you want to change your life for Christ, you become one of his biggest enemies. So you have to get ready and arm yourself with the mind of Jesus Christ. We do that by reading the Bible and filling our mind with the teachings of God and Jesus Christ. That way, when these people try and lead you back into the open arms of Satan, you will have your thoughts on Christ and His teachings and be ready for them. V2 That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God. Stop living your life trying to please your flesh by doing the things Satan and your ungodly friends want you to do. If your guilty of rape or murder and you want a chance at eternal life, you better start trying to please God as soon as possible. Repent of your sins, try to live a better life by following the examples of Jesus Christ and set a good Christian example for others. V3 For the time past of our life may suffice us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, when we walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revellings, banquetings, and abominable idolatries: V4 Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with them to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you: When we lived our lives in sin, we had friends and family that like to be around us. The same people that were your friends the day before, now have become your enemies. Being a Christian is not the most popular thing in the world to be. You may lose all your friends and your family might turn on you if they are not following Christ. You need to be strong and follow Jesus Christ no matter what bad things they may say about you. contenued on next note... |

hey everyone...my name is Chance and I'm 15 and I wrote this when I saw your questions and I hope it helps! Matthew 5:17-21 V17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. Jesus did not come to destroy the law, so most of the laws of the Old Testament are still valid today. Old Testament ordinances such as burnt offerings and animal sacrifice for the forgiveness of sins are no longer valid because Jesus has fulfilled that by becoming the blood sacrifice. V18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Jesus Christ said not even the smallest part of God's law will pass away until all is fulfilled. All will not be fulfilled until Jesus returns at the “seventh trump”. So the Old Testament law on capital punishment is still valid today. Jesus Christ did not do away with it. V19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. V20 For I say unto you, that except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven. If we want to be called great in God's kingdom, not only do we need to teach His laws but we also need to follow His laws. To follow God's laws on capital punishment, we need to vote people in office that are for it because God is all for capital punishment. One person being murdered or raped is one too many. V21 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment: The word kill in this verse was a very bad translation. It should read 'Thou shalt not murder.' There is a very big difference between killing a person and murdering them. This is a verse about Jesus Christ saying that we should not murder. In this example a person asks Christ what good thing he can do to have eternal life. Matthew 19:16-18 V16 And, behold, one came and said unto Him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life? Master is just another word for teacher. This person wants eternal life. V17 And He said unto him, Why callest thou Me good? There is none good but One, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments. We are to follow the Ten Commandments as well as God's other laws. We should follow the teachings of Jesus Christ, as He is our example. V18 He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness Here is a proper translation and the word murder is used. The murders are to be put to death. Doing that is not murdering but following God's law. Many feel that our Lord is being harsh. Well it's just that they have not been taught the whole truth about Jesus Christ's teachings. Jesus Christ told us not to murder but at the same time, He did not change God's law that tells us that murders are to be put to death. We need to remember that in God's law there is a big difference between killing a person and murdering one. Putting a murderer to death is not murder in God's eyes. It is following His law, which makes Him happy, and He will bless us for it. Now if a murderer has repented and accepted Jesus Christ in to their life, do they have eternal life? I John 3:15 V15 Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him. Well that is not what you hear most so called 'men of God' teach. As long as a murderer is still alive in the flesh, they can not have eternal life. No matter how much they repent and follow Jesus Christ, as long as they are still living in the flesh they have zero chance for eternal life. For the ones that think this is to harsh and want to save a murderer from being put to death, your going against God's will and He does not like it at all. Unlike this country's so called justice system that puts the rights of the murderer before the life of the victim, in God's justice system, murderers have no rights or eternal life. Another crime against God's children that the punishment is death is rape. Contenued on next note.... |
