Yes, you figured out I didn't paste the quote from your post to mine very well. Usually don't do that very much. My apologies. As to your challenges, the only way I can figure that anyone might see Satan in Heaven is if he were to repent and ask forgiveness from God. In spite of this guidance coming from a parable, I think it applies. Mt 25:41 "Then he will say to those on his left, 'Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. So apparently God has already condemned Satan and his angels and thus Satan has no chance for repenting of his sins. Is there scripture for any portion of your post above or are you joining the ranks of us philosophers and drawing your own conclusions? You seem to have a spirit of anger with most of your posts, especially when you run into someone who disagrees with you. Would you like to unburden yourself with whatever is bothering you? If so, I'll share my own personal E-Mail with you and I'll promise to keep it in strict confidence. I can only remind you the one single time, our Lord got angry was with those who were desicrating His Father's temple and we're all to imitate Jesus as indicated in your profile. I do hope you'll respond in kind. God bless. --Rowdy |

Hi Rowdy, I wish you weren’t quit so rowdy with me since I am feeling so bad these days! I actually have a sever case of the vapors with a plugged mud vent. My psychiatrist has been trying to inform me that my anger management classes where no longer needed and now you are telling me that I must be in relapse! Oh what to do, what to do!!! The only one who really knows me on the forum is Hank and that’s because he is suffering from the same malady, we are both practical jokers. All kidding aside, maybe! The word Satan comes to us from the Hebrew word satan, pronounced “saw-tawn” and carries the connotation of an opponent. The word in the Greek, Satan, stems from the Chaldee, Satanas and means the accuser. Cutting to the chase, we see that Satan is constantly making accusation about believers as an accusing attorney before God, and that is how believers might have a chance to actually view Satan in action, after the believers are in heaven. Rev. 12:10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. Satan won’t be bared from heaven until the mid point of the time know as Jacob’s trouble or what we call the last 3 ½ years of the great tribulation. Rev. 12:12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time. This will be the signal to Satan that he is in his last years of carrying out his chain of command and rule over the earth. 2 Cor. 4:4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. Satan has a chain of command that he uses to rule the world and he is not torturing people in the place we call hell nor is he greeting them at the door with open arms, as it were with his nasty horn and big red suit. Ephes. 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 word in the English, principalities is translated from the Koine Greek word, ARCHE and it means rank, just like we have in the military with Satan being the commander and chief of them all. Sorry I mislead you with my nasty post but I like to pull people chains once and a while. Ha Ha! 2 Tim. 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. Gave a great day and relax, I’ve read the end of the Book and we win, CDBJ |

CDBJ: It's funny how a nom de plume can be descriptive of the literary production of the author. Take, for example, Samuel Langhorne Clemens, who is more popularly known as Mark Twain. The term "mark twain" was in common usage in the golden days of Mississippi River steamboating, and much of Mark Twain's literary output had to do with life on the Mississippi. Yes, pen names can be descriptive all right. I could give other examples in literature, of course, or even examples from this very Forum of how user names sometimes tend to reflect the nature of their posts. But I won't. It might be too Rowdy of me to do so at this time. --Hank | ||||||

Hi Hank, I have been anything but forthcoming with regard to any post that you might have made lately but now my stitches seem to be pretty well on the mend now so I just might venture out into a little deeper water! In posting to Rowdy that other day, and the mention of Satan as an accusing attorney, I neglected to mention that 99 percent of all the attorneys give the other 1 percent a bad name! That isn’t biblical but I believe it’s factual. CDBJ |
