I think your evil question is answered by God Himself: Isaiah 45:5-7 5 I am the LORD, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me: 6 That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the LORD, and there is none else. 7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things. The King James Version, (Cambridge: Cambridge) 1769. |

Gosh, it sounds like God does ALL the work... Isaiah 50:8 8 He is near that justifieth me; who will contend with me? let us stand together: who is mine adversary? let him come near to me.

Numbers 22:30,31 30 And the ass said unto Balaam, Am not I thine ass, upon which thou hast ridden ever since I was thine unto this day? was I ever wont to do so unto thee? And he said, Nay. 31 Then the LORD opened the eyes of Balaam, and he saw the angel of the LORD standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand: and he bowed down his head, and fell flat on his face. 1 Kings 5:4 4 But now the LORD my God hath given me rest on every side, so that there is neither adversary nor evil occurrent. 1 Kings 11:14 14 And the LORD stirred up an adversary unto Solomon, Hadad the Edomite: he was of the king’s seed in Edom.

You say "Evil originates not from God but from the fallen creature. I agree with John Calvin," What is your reference for this statement ? Where, then did evil originate and what fallen creature? Where is your evidence to support this statement? I am well aware of the law of sin and death;1 Corinthians 15:22 22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. 1 Corinthians 15:33-34 33 Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners. 34 Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame. Genesis 3:24 24 So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life. Isaiah 63:4 4 For the day of vengeance is in mine heart, and the year of my redeemed is come. Romans 12:19-20 19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is MINE; I will repay, saith the Lord. 20 Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. Romans 13:1 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. Romans 13:4 4 For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the MINISTER of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil. And to further clarify this point there are numerous quotes which state that the punishment for evil is excuted by God and or his servants.... and not some creature of imagination... Psalm 149:6-9 6 Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a twoedged sword in their hand; 7 To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people; 8 To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron; 9 To execute upon them the judgment written: this honour have all his saints. Praise ye the LORD. Micah 5:14,15 14 And I will pluck up thy groves out of the midst of thee: so will I destroy thy cities. 15 And I will execute vengeance in anger and fury upon the heathen, such as they have not heard. Revelation 19:15,16 15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it HE SHOULD SMITE THE NATIONS: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. 16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS. So, here are your instructions, to limit yourselves and give the power to Him to overcome all evil........... Ephesians 6:13-17 13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: The King James Version, 1769. |

Contrary to popular belief the act of praying is not a public display, but a simple private act between God and man.The manisfestation is revealed in 2Cor 4:1-2, Matt 17, Mark 9, Luke 9 see below: Matthew 6:5-8 5 And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. 6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly. 7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. 8 Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him. 2 Corinthians 4:1-2 Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not; 2 But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God. Transfiguration, The. (The event in the earthly life of Christ which marks the culminating point in his public ministry, and stands midway between the temptation in the wilderness and the agony in Gethsemane. Matt. 17:1–13; Mark 9:2–13; Luke 9:28–36. Place.—Though tradition locates the transfiguration on Mount Tabor, there is little to confirm this view, and modern critics favor Mount Hermon, the highest mountain-top in Gaulanitis, or one of the spurs of the Anti-Lebanus. Time.—The transfiguration probably took place at night, because it could then be seen to better advantage than in daylight, and Jesus usually went to mountains to spend there the night in prayer. Matt. 14:23–24; Luke 6:12; 21:37. The apostles were asleep, and are described as having kept themselves awake through the act of transfiguration. Luke 9:32. The actors and witnesses.—Christ was the central figure, the subject of transfiguration. Moses and Elijah appeared from the heavenly world, as the representatives of the Old Testament, the one of the law, the other of prophecy, to do homage to him who was the fulfillment of both. Mr. Ellicott says, “The close of the ministry of each was not after the ‘common death of all men.’ No man knew of the sepulchre of Moses, Deut. 34:6; and Elijah had passed away in the chariot and horses of fire. 2 Kings 2:11. Both were associated in men’s minds with the glory of the kingdom of the Christ. The Jerusalem Targum on Ex. 12 connects the coming of Moses with that of the Messiah. Another Jewish tradition predicts his appearance with that of Elijah.” Moses the lawgiver and Elijah the chief of the prophets both appear talking with Christ the source of the gospel, to show that they are all one and agree in one. St. Luke, Luke 9:31, adds the subject of their communing: “They spake of his decease which he should accomplish at Jerusalem.” Among the apostles the three favorite disciples, Peter, James, and John, were the sole witnesses of the scene—“the sons of thunder and the man of rock.” The event itself.—The transfiguration or transformation, or, as the Germans call it, the glorification, consisted in a visible manifestation of the inner glory of Christ’s person, accompanied by an audible voice from heaven. It was the revelation and anticipation of his future state of glory, which was concealed under the veil of his humanity in the state of humiliation. The cloud which overshadowed the witnesses was bright or light-like, luminous, of the same kind as the cloud at the ascension.

Psalm 31:17 17 Let me not be ashamed, O LORD; for I have called upon thee: let the wicked be ashamed, and let them be silent in the grave. Psalm 49:20 20 Man that is in honour, and understandeth not, is like the beasts that perish. Psalm 6:5 5 For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the grave who shall give thee thanks? 1 Corinthians 15:55 55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? Psalm 89:48 48 What man is he that liveth, and shall not see death? shall he deliver his soul from the hand of the grave? Selah. Ecclesiastes 9:10 10 Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest. Isaiah 14:4 4 That thou shalt take up this proverb against the king of Babylon, and say, How hath the oppressor ceased! the golden city ceased! Isaiah 14:12-19 12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! 13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: 14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. 15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit. 16 They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms; 17 That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners? 18 All the kings of the nations, even all of them, lie in glory, every one in his own house. 19 But thou art cast out of thy grave like an abominable branch, and as the raiment of those that are slain, thrust through with a sword, that go down to the stones of the pit; as a carcase trodden under feet. Isaiah 38:18-19 18 For the grave cannot praise thee, death can not celebrate thee: they that go down into the pit cannot hope for thy truth. 19 The living, the living, he shall praise thee, as I do this day: the father to the children shall make known thy truth. 1 Samuel 2:10 10 The adversaries of the LORD shall be broken to pieces; out of heaven shall he thunder upon them: the LORD shall judge the ends of the earth; and he shall give strength unto his king, and exalt the horn of his anointed. 1 Kings 2:9-10 9 Now therefore hold him not guiltless: for thou art a wise man, and knowest what thou oughtest to do unto him; but his hoar head bring thou down to the grave with blood. 10 So David slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David. 11 And the days that David reigned over Israel were forty years: seven years reigned he in Hebron, and thirty and three years reigned he in Jerusalem. 1 Kings 13:30-31 30 And he laid his carcase in his own grave; and they mourned over him, saying, Alas, my brother! 31 And it came to pass, after he had buried him, that he spake to his sons, saying, When I am dead, then bury me in the sepulchre wherein the man of God is buried; lay my bones beside his bones: 2 Kings 22:20 20 Behold therefore, I will gather thee unto thy fathers, and thou shalt be gathered into thy grave in peace; and thine eyes shall not see all the evil which I will bring upon this place. And they brought the king word again. Revelation 20:13-15 13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. 14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. |

The answer is obvious I would think. The question is what would be worse, eternal death or eternal life. Can you explain the difference? Can you be tortured eternally? Wouldn't that require eternal life? If you were immortal how could anything hurt you? A fire that is unquenchable would be totally consuming and leave you without even ashes. 1 Corinthians 15:25-26 25 For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet. 26 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. The hard part is having to die twice (second death)after seeing what you would miss. Revelation 20:14 14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. Revelation 2:11 11 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death. Revelation 20:6 6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years. Revelation 21:8 8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

That is a very broad but basic question; here are some of the things concerning the kingdom of God, which are of couse related to other promises..... Acts 8:12 12 But when they believed Philip preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women. Acts 19:8 And he went into the synagogue, and spake boldly for the space of three months, disputing and persuading the things concerning the kingdom of God. Acts 28:30,31 30 And Paul dwelt two whole years in his own hired house, and received all that came in unto him, 31 Preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching those things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ, with all confidence, no man forbidding him. Daniel 2:44; 7:13,14 44 And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever. 13 I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him. 14 And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed. Isaiah 11:9,10; 9 They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea. 10 And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious.

He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ. Amos 9:11 11 In that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and close up the breaches thereof; and I will raise up his ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old: Micah 4:6-8 6 In that day, saith the LORD, will I assemble her that halteth, and I will gather her that is driven out, and her that I have afflicted; 7 And I will make her that halted a remnant, and her that was cast far off a strong nation: and the LORD shall reign over them in mount Zion from henceforth, even for ever. 8 And thou, O tower of the flock, the strong hold of the daughter of Zion, unto thee shall it come, even the first dominion; the kingdom shall come to the daughter of Jerusalem.

You say satan knows how we think and act but has no pity on us. I don't see any bible reference on these suggestions. Where did this creature come from? The O.T. does not even mention satan except four times and it is translated adversary. The word itself,sa´tan,the Hebrew saÆtaÆn, is simply an “adversary,” It is used as a proper name or title only four times in the Old Testament, viz. (with the article) in Job 1:6, 12; 2:1; Zech. 2:1, and (without the article) in 1 Chron. 21:1. It is with the scriptural revelation on the subject that we are here concerned; and it is clear, from this simple enumeration of passages, that it is to be sought in the New rather than in the Old Testament.It is especially remarkable that no power of spiritual influence, but only a power over outward circumstances, is attributed to him. Of the nature and original state of satan, little is revealed in Scripture.

Don't be fooled by Isaiah 14:12 or Ezekiel 28:11. It has nothing to do with a satan The word itself, the Hebrew saÆtaÆn, is simply an “adversary,” (not a thing with a pitchfork and horns) Isaiah 12:4 tells exactly who it is addressed to : 4That thou shalt take up this proverb against the king of Babylon, and say, How hath the oppressor ceased! the golden city ceased! And not some superhuman being! Ezekiel 28:11 says the King of Tyrus: Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 12Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus,......

Don't be fooled by Isaiah 14:12 or Ezekiel 28:11. It has nothing to do with a satan The word itself, the Hebrew saÆtaÆn, is simply an “adversary,” (not a thing with a pitchfork and horns) Isaiah 12:4 tells exactly who it is addressed to : 4That thou shalt take up this proverb against the king of Babylon, and say, How hath the oppressor ceased! the golden city ceased! And not some superhuman being! Ezekiel 28:11 says the King of Tyrus: Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 12Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus,......

You state "God created Satan; not to be evil; that was Satan's choice. But God created him and He can handle him". Would you mind giving me the reference on this idea? First of all where or when did He create him? I agree that Jesus has destroyed the adversary.. James 1:15 15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death. Hebrews 2:14 14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; Okay, lets see now, Jesus died and He destroyed sin (power of death) by His own dying. Is that correct? How could satan know this if he was destroyed when Jesus died? Why do you have to be coerced into believing? Is it not a free choice? I thought we covered Isaiah 14:12 or Ezekiel 28:11.

I never heard of that practice. The only thing I see in the new testament is : Revelation 2:28 28 And I will give him the morning star. The King James Version, (Cambridge: Cambridge) 1769. |

Thank you EdB! I revised your staement a little but it means the basically the same. Yes, sin is real but it is defeated in a Christian’s life, what we battle is our flesh. I’m not saying sin will not try to tempt us but even the adversary is limited and can’t spend a lot of time bothering people that are not on the front lines yet it seems when we hear of sins actions it is always from people that live in the rear |

17 | What does Rev. 2:28 indicate to you? | Bible general Archive 2 | He-man | 138776 | ||
One of the Seven Churches of Asia was established here. Rev. 2:18–29. The principal deity of the city was Apollo; but there was another superstition, of an extremely curious nature, which seems to have been brought thither by some of the corrupted Jews of the dispersed tribes. A fane stood outside the walls, dedicated to Sambatha—the name of the sibyl who is sometimes called Chaldæan, sometimes Jewish, sometimes Persian—in the midst of an enclosure designated “the Chaldæans’ court.” This seems to lend an illustration to the obscure passage in Rev. 2:20–21, which some interpret of the wife of the bishop. Now there is evidence to show that in Thyatira there was a great amalgamation of races. If the sibyl Sambatha was in reality a Jewess, lending her aid to the amalgation of different religions, and not discountenanced by the authorities of the Judeo-Christian Church at Thyatira, both the censure and its qualification become easy of explanation. (The present name of the city is ak-Hissar (“white castle”). It has a reputation for the manufacture of scarlet cloth. Its present population is 15,000 to 20,000. There are nine mosques.—Ed.)

Did you not read Ezekiel 28:12? 12 Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty. The Historians and Bible commentaries say: It may be gathered from the prophetical Scriptures and from Josephus that the conquest of Jerusalem was rapidly followed BY THE FALL of Tyre and the complete submission of Phœnicia, Ezek. 26–28; after which the Babylonians carried their arms into Egypt, and inflicted severe injuries on that fertile country. Jer. 46:13-26; Ezek. 29:2-20. We are told that the first care of Nebuchadnezzar, on obtaining quiet possession of his kingdom after the first Syrian expedition, was to rebuild the temple of Bel (Bel-Merodach) at Babylon out of the spoils of the Syrian war. He next proceeded to strengthen and beautify the city, which he renovated throughout and surrounded with several lines of fortifications, himself adding one entirely new quarter. Having finished the walls and adorned the gates magnificently, he constructed a new palace. In the grounds of this palace he formed the celebrated "hanging garden," which the Greeks placed among the seven wonders of the world. But he did not confine his efforts to the ornamentation and improvement of his capital. Throughout the empire, at Borsippa, Sippara, Cutha, Chilmad, Duraba, Teredon, and a multitude of other places, he built or rebuilt cities, repaired temples, constructed quays, reservoirs, canals and aqueducts, on a scale of grandeur and magnificence surpassing everything of the kind recorded in history, unless it be the constructions of one or two of the greatest Egyptian monarchs. The wealth, greatness, and general prosperity of Nebuchadnezzar are strikingly placed before us in the book of Daniel. Other historians, Eusebius and Berosus, also confirm the account.At the time of the crusades it was still a flourishing city, when it surrendered to the Christians on the 27th of June, 1144. It continued more than a century and a half in the hands of Christians, but was deserted by its inhabitants in a.d. 1291, upon the conquest of Acre (Ptolemais) by the sultan of Egypt and Damascus. This was the turning-point in the history of Tyre, which has never recovered from the blow. Its present condition is a FULFILLMENT of Ezekiel’s prophecy, Ezek. 26:5.

John 1:18 18 No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him. Romans 8:24 24 For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for? No man hath seen God or heard his voice, I might add in the present day. When did this phenomenon occur? We are not given miracles as the apostles were; not any you can put your finger on anyway. The King James Version, (Cambridge: Cambridge) 1769. |

I repeat: Romans 8:24 24 For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for? You are auto-hypnotic! A preacher asked to pray for me and I said okay. We were alone and he started praying. He then said "as soon as you feel the power of the Holy Spirit raise your hand and shout hallelujah". I immediately shot up my hand and shouted hallelujah, as fast as I could because he almost had me hypnotized. I kept quiet to see what he would say. He gave me post-hypnotic suggestions that I would no longer smoke or chase after women and a bunch of other things! Be carefull not to be fooled by imitators of Christ! |
