1 | Is satan a spirit? | Ezek 28:14 | SRN | 26521 | ||
The term Satan I've come to understand as the Hebrew word for obstacle. [Matt 16v23] Satan only exists in men. We must stop looking to blame some mythologicle entity and look at ourselves and take responsibilty. Satan/Devil/HotStuff only has the power you give it. | ||||||
2 | Is satan a spirit? | Ezek 28:14 | serenetime | 26547 | ||
SRN, I do agree that the word Satan means like an obstacle. I did say opponent, Adversary. But I don't agree that Satan himself lives in men, maybe the spirit of Satan lives in some men. I know he doesn't live in me nor his spirit. I'm not trying to make him out to be a mythological entity as you say. I was just putting down the translation of the word, and trying to be of help to mincc. Take Care, In Love, Serenetime | ||||||
3 | Is satan a spirit? | Ezek 28:14 | SRN | 26565 | ||
I didn't say you were turning your satan into a myth, but rather that it is a myth. If you study religion and mythology you'll find in the old dualism theory of pagan. This the catholic church adopted as it policy. The being Ezekiel referrs to hasn't any of the same attributes as the one today worshiped. Yes I say worship because when christians speak of 'the devil' they speak in awe and are forever giving 'their' satan credit for so much. If you wish we can talk conspiricy theory. A luciferic one at that, but as far as spirit goes there is only one Absolute. | ||||||
4 | Is satan a spirit? | Ezek 28:14 | serenetime | 26597 | ||
SRN, I do agree that their are some christians that give the devil way too much credit. I don't think that he can have as much power over anyone, but when you are totally focused on this it can take over. As for conspiracy theories, I would like to know your thoughts. In Love, Serenetime | ||||||

First, these Ezekiel verses, how is it translated as been Satan? I don't get. God says to him in verse 2, But you are a man and not a god, though you think you are as wise as a god. This I can't see how you read as being the Satan spoken about in the Gospels and that the same as the Dragon of Revalations. Ezekiel's 'devil' [so to speak] is a prince of tyre an assyrianstrong hold which we know tormented the israelites, but then just faded. [Guess they just built their own tower of babel] The gospel's devil is just an expression used for someone or something trying to get in the way of a greater purpose. Now the dragon in Revalations would be the Romans. You have heard of the pesher method of writing/reading the bible. That writing of a past historical figure represents Nebacabnezzar-Caezar, Babylon-Rome. Now what I find totally facinating is the closness of The prophecies of revalations and current afairs. Revelation 18:9-11 I do believe their are superpowers controlling all banking, industry and governments. They with their allies [dragon and it's heads]delibretly start wars, create famine, induce desease, promote addiction all for it's own end. But they too will build their own tower of babel. [My theory goes far deeper and dates back to ancient egypt and is based not on religeous grounds] |

You write: "I do believe their are superpowers controlling all banking, industry and governments. They with their allies [dragon and it's heads]delibretly start wars, create famine, induce desease, promote addiction all for it's own end. But they too will build their own tower of babel. [My theory goes far deeper and dates back to ancient egypt and is based not on religeous grounds]" Please leave your name and phone number with the receptionist. If we ever get a call for a forum that is not about the Bible, but is about conspiracy theories and extra-biblical theories, we'll call you. |
