1 | Why did God put us on earth with satin? | Genesis | TCfromCoventry | 196017 | ||
Hi Val! I'm not sure where you see the anger in my response. I was just trying to say that There were many possible outcomes of the Garden of Eden situation, God was prepared for any of them. Shouldn't we bear in mind that God's ways are higher than our ways (Is 55:9)? That currently we see through a glass darkly (1Cor13:12)? We are talking about supernatural things here; even in Christ, we have no direct relationship with or control over the supernatural. By the way, I think the date of the original question is irrelevant!! It sparked off a fascinating discussion, still on-going! I love discussing God's Word, learning different understandings. I will watch my 'Anger' meter, though; my life has been through some bad situations the last 3 - 4 years, which I'm still getting over. I'm having to re-learn how to love and trust God, and believe that He has my best interests in His control. |

Your right I posted to your response. My intentions were to post to the question that appeared on the front page. I don't know how it got mixed up. Anyway sometimes when I study scripture my mind wonders as well to possible outcomes but I have learned to concentrate only on what the Bible has said and not to go beyond that. That way I stay focused on the Bible passage and not my wondering mind. God has created a place without Satan - that place is in heaven. This earth is not meant to be heaven. With that said I apologize for getting my response to you wrong. May God Bless you and may you grow in the knowledge and grace of God the Father and our Lord His Son Christ Jesus. | ||||||

That's OK! It's all good! And I like to recall that satan took 1/3 of the angels with him - that means 2/3 are still with God and US! They outnumber satans 2 to 1! Hallelujah!! | ||||||

Hi, TC: I would rather say "one" - Jesus our Lord and Saviour - is good enough for all. (John 16:33) :-) What say you? Shalom Azure |

Jesus is the Way through whom we are saved, whose blood has cleansed us from all sin, and whose resurrection proves His defeat of satan and all the principalities and powers. But even though those principalities and powers are under our feet, they're still trying to beat us up and deceive us. why else would we need to put on the full armour of God (Eph6,12-17)? I'm glad to have some angels on my side! God made them as messengers, servants and warriors. But there's probably another blog about that!! that OK with you? ;¬) | ||||||

Dear TC, Thank you very much for responding. I like the facial sign you made. It's cute and creative. Concerning what you say about the principalities of Satan still trying to beat us up ..., can you explain what do you mean by those principalities? What are the scriptural reference to it? Thank you for your sharing. Shalom Azure |

Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. The picture basically is that at Creation, God gave Adam authority over the whole world; when he sinned, he handed that authority to satan. So to those who are not born-again through faith in Jesus Christ, satan is still lord of this world (although they don't know it). Some say that the spiritual realm where they operate is the "second heaven": 2 Corinthians 12:2-4 (King James Version) 2I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven. 3And I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) 4How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter. [it is generally thought that Paul is speaking about himself here. If 'paradise' is the third heaven, and the sky we can see is the first heaven, other spirits operate in the second heaven] There is a heirachy of power - powers, principalities, rulers of the darkness etc. Well, these powers (some say they are the angels which fell with satan from Heaven) are all under satan, and like him, their mission is to kill steal and destroy: John 10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. If you ARE born-again through faith in Jesus Christ, satan HATES that with a passion- you become a target. Jesus' death and resurrection brought them to NOTHING: Colossians 2:15 And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it. ... and even though they are defeated, they want to destroy what they can before their time is brought to an end. Doesn't this match up with experience? Jesus told us to expect it, but that in Him, we are the victors: John 16:33 (King James Version) 33These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. 1 John 4:4 You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world. ... or as a great preacher I know says "I've read the last page - AND WE WIN!!!" |
