1 | Why choose Heaven | 1 Cor 12:3 | SMO | 153264 | ||
Hello askgod, Read 1 Corinthians 12:3 I believe that it is only by the workings of the Holy Spirit that i am a Christian today. If anyone asks me, i just say because the Holy Spirit encourged me to follow Jesus, and i accepted. Then if they say it's not good enough... read 1 Corinthians 12:3 to prove it and then pray that the Holy Spirit encourages them too. Because that's the only way they will understand. Not sure if that will help you in your study. God Bless. |

2 | Is santanism real? Spiritual World? | Eph 6:12 | SMO | 153262 | ||
Hello journey, If you read Ephesians 6:12... For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. I'm not entirely sure, but i beleive that witchcraft, satanism, wicca and all that are out there, but they are all governed by the same ruler, who is the devil. They are the devil's schemes, which are there to deceive people who arn't wearing the armor of God. When people get into those cults/religions, they are openly rejecting God altogether, so the devil can do anything he wants with them. However, i don't think these things are any worse than say, Buddhism for example. Because it follows the same principle; that it is there to deceive and mislead people. But yes, demons are real. Just as the angels in heaven are. However, we are given, as sons and daughters of God, authority over these powers of evil, as Jesus Christ promises (mat 10:1). The trickiest thing about the devil is that sometimes he makes these people believe that what they are practicing (such as witchcraft) is actually working... so the blindfold is pulled further over there eyes. So these things technically arn't true, because the devil devised them to be a distraction from God. |

3 | What does Galatians 1:1-2 mean | Gal 1:1 | SMO | 149131 | ||
I am not entirely sure which part specifically you are having trouble understanding, but Paul(the author) is stating his credentials (that is, what his position is). To my understanding he is saying, 'its not because of me or any other man that im an apostle, but its because Jesus apointed me this.' The second verse, 'and all the brothers with me...' is basically saying that this letter and message are from all Christian brothers. Hope this helps... | ||||||
