1 | Can Satan know our thoughts? | Rom 12:2 | Christian24 | 94330 | ||
Satan does know your thoughts. Remember Satan was an angel up in heaven, he was here on earth before, Adam and Eve. Satan was the first to roam the earth as a serpent, when he was kicked out of heaven, by God. Satan knows man! That is why he tempts us because he knows what God has instore for us. He is a very cleaver Devil, but we have the power to fight him off. Satan knows your weakness, and your strengths, thats why it is harder for some to resist certain things than it is for others. Satan can only get at your mind. Remeber sin first starts with a thought, and that thought then the action. Satan knows that thought, he is the one that puts it there. But again to answer the question. Satan does know your thoughts, he is the one that puts those bad thoughts there. So when you do get those bad thoughts which you know are not right, Immediately cast them out, and tell satan that you rebuke him in the name of Jesus. hope i could b of help. |

2 | Can Satan know our thoughts? | Rom 12:2 | Radioman2 | 94334 | ||
Christian24: You write: "Satan does know your thoughts." No, he doesn't. Satan is neither all-knowing nor all-powerful nor everywhere present at the same time. Only God possesses these attributes. Satan cannot know your thoughts or read your mind. In the Gospels we read that Jesus knew their (men's) thoughts and Jesus knew what was in man. You are not comparing Satan (the creature) with Christ (the Creator), are you? Grace to you, Radioman2 |

3 | Can Satan know our thoughts? | Rom 12:2 | BradK | 94350 | ||
Christian24, Radioman2 has appropriately answered your question. I concur. Nowhere in scripture are we told that Satan is omniscient! He isn't. It is not an attribute that he possess. Certainly in John 13:2 we see that "the devil having already put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, to betray Him". However, this example is a far cry from giving Satan carte-blanche knowledge of our thoughts. As C.S. Lewis once wisely remarked "we error when we either give satan too much credit, or not enough" (my paraphrase). Speaking The Truth In Love, BradK |

please read my response before you try to answer what i've said. I've read all of the answers throughout. My answer came from out of reading T.D Jakes book on "Fighting the Enemy". And studing the writings of Apostle Paul. You all have taken my answer past what I have said. I never siad that Satan was equal to God, nor did I say that he posses the same power. But many of you all have all agreed that satan does put bad thoughts in your mind. Now think carefully on that, if he can put bad thoughts in your mind, that means he has some insight on your thoughts. No he cannot control them unless you let him. Many people enter this forum without using common knowledge and want to mix words in to what they think they read without reading the answer through out. But please do not put words that I did not directly say into a forum. Unless you have read your bible and know history on it. I would prefer that you leave question that take more than a 5 min thought and answer alone. |

Christian24 In a sense your right. While Satan can not read our minds he does know human nature and how humans react. Therefore if he plants a thought in our head he can sit back and watch our reaction. From observation he can then determine his next course of action. If he puts a pretty young creature of the opposite sex before us he can watch our reaction. Do we look away and turn our attention back to ous spouse or do we let our minds haze over and allow lust to become evident in our lives. when Satan sees us turn back to our spouse he knows not to waste anymore time with that appraoch. However if he sees us going to where we shouldn't Satan then may open a door of opportunity for us to follow through in our sins. I think the problem you were having getting agreement with your post was in the wording of your first answer. When I first read it I thought you were saying Satan can read our minds also. I think how you stated this post could show a little hostility or anger that ought not be there. EdB |
