1 | Are there any "people" created by Satan? | Gen 2:7 | BradK | 75925 | ||
Dear goodlife, Your rather lengthy treatise on the nonexistence of Satan is rather perplexing! Are you serious? You state,"if anyone would like to further discuss the issue of satans nonexistence I would be more then happy to accomodate them." Would you be so kind as to provide some scriptural basis for your contentions? You give absolutely none! As this is a Study Bible Forum you might do well to familiarize yourself with the guidelines:-) As to your contention that "man" created satan, this contradicts my understanding of the Doctrine of Satan! As to his nature, we know he is a created angelic being. He was created as part of the angelic realm (Eph. 6:11,12, Ezek.24:18) and was the highest in rank of them all ( Ezek. 28:12-14). As to the "non-existence os satan", how do you then account for the fact that 7 OT books and every NT writer refer to satan? Jesus Himself referred to satan (Matt.13:39, Luke 10:18,11;18)! According to your theory, the Apostle Paul wasted a lot of space in writing Ephesians 6:1-10 in commanding believers to "take up the whole armor of God?" Why are we admonished further in Eph. 6:16 to,"in addition to all, taking up the shield of faith with which you will be able to extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one." My friend, I'd be much more inclined to consider the relevence of what you say if you could provide proof. Other than that, you've only offered an opinion- and at that-not a very well founded one. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

2 | Are there any "people" created by Satan? | Gen 2:7 | slide_m46 | 76035 | ||
I must say that I have no idea what you're talking about Goodlife. I asked the question because of some scripture in which our Lord Jesus says that some are "of their Father the Devil." In actuality I am wrestling with the issue of the predestination of the elect, and how that might "square" with the idea that maybe those not elected for salvation possibly aren't elected because they have a different "father", ie. satan. I wanted to know if there might be any scriptural support for that concept. No matter, there is no denying that Jesus is my savior and I only wish that all could be so moved by the Spirit as to accept Christ and participate in His saving grace. God bless you. | ||||||

slide m46, Jesus was referring to spiritual children of Satan, when he spoke to the Paharisees of their "father" Satan. Jesus makes this point in John 8:39-45. They claimed to be children of Abraham physically and spirituall as weel as sons of God spiritually. Jesus was making the point that it is spiritual sonship by obedient faith, like Abraham's, that is important. See Romans 8:14-16 for the flip side: "For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God ..." See also Galatians 4:6. There are other verses which also support this understanding spiritual offspring. Emmaus |
