21 | How do you explain the mystery? | Phil 2:8 | Aliennow | 159730 | ||
I like to think of it as three different key rings. Separated they have the same purpose they are still key rings. Together they have the same purpose they are key rings. | ||||||
22 | WHY DOES THE BIBLE SAY THAT THE DEVIL IS | John 8:44 | Aliennow | 159727 | ||
Originally, only the epithet of "the satan" or "the adversary" was used to denote the character in the Hebrew deity's court that later became known as "the Devil". The article was lost and this title became a proper name: Satan. There is no unambiguous basis for the Devil in the Torah, the Prophets, or the Writings. Zechariah 3:1--"And he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the Lord, and ha-satan standing at his right hand to resist him." This reading has since been erroneously interpreted by some to mean Satan, "the Devil", but such is not the case. The Hebrew Bible views ha-satan as an angel ministering to the desires of God, acting as Chief Prosecutor. The tempter: Gospel of Matthew 4:3--"And when the tempter came to him." None escape his temptations. He is continually soliciting men to sin. In Gospel of Matthew 10:25 and 12:24, Mark 3:22, and openly in Luke 11:18-19 there is an implied connection between Satan and Beelzebub (originally a Semitic deity called Baal-zebul, one of the Baals.) Beelzebub (lit. "Lord of the Flies") has now come to be analogous to Satan. The wicked one: Matt. 13:19--"Then cometh the wicked one." Matt. 6:13; 1 John 5:19. This title suggests that Satan is one who is wicked himself. Abrahamic religions generally regarded sin as a physical manifestation of opposition to God, and therefore evil; dissent only comes from the topic of 'where does sin come from?' In John 12:31 and 14:30 Satan is called Prince of this World; this became a nickname for him. 1 Peter 5:8--"Your adversary the devil." By adversary is meant one who takes a stand against another. In the Christian worldview, Satan is the adversary of both God and humanity. The Devil, diabolos: This name is ascribed to Satan at least 33 times in the Christian scriptures and indicates that Satan is an accuser or slanderer (Rev. 12:9). Dragon or The Old Serpent: These epithets are used extensively in the Book of Revelation. The Beast (Book of Revelation 13:1-18) is a term John the Evangelist used to refer to a "puppet" of the dragon's (Satan), and a term supposedly used by John in Revelation 17:3-17 to designate the Devil (or the Antichrist); this name appears several times in the book of Revelation, and it became another nickname for Satan. Abaddon or Apollyon: Referred to in Revelation 9:11, commonly interpreted as the name of Satan in Hebrew and Greek respectively. |

23 | What causes tormenting demonic images? | Bible general Archive 3 | Aliennow | 159726 | ||
The stronger your relationship comes to Christ the more of a threat you are to Satan and he will attack through demons, deception, and temptation. Have you tried sharing it with your church family and allowing them to lay hands on your husband and pray for deliverance? The concept of spiritual warfare is based on the understanding that Satan and demons are real beings whose primary mission is to thwart God's purposes on earth, specifically to prevent non-believers from placing faith in Christ and to prevent Christians from being effective disciples of Jesus. |

24 | John 3:16 | John 3:16 | Aliennow | 159725 | ||
This is clearly Jesus speaking. The message of the Good News comes to a focus in this verse. God's love is not static or self-centered, it reaches out and draws others in. Here God sets the pattern of true love, the basis for all love relationships - when you love somebody dearly, you are wiling to give freely to the point of self-sacrafice. God paid dearly with the life of his son, the highest price He could pay. Jesus, not John, accepted our punishment, paid the price for our sins, and then offered us the new life that he had bought for us. |

25 | How are God's promises being fulfilled? | Matt 22:32 | Aliennow | 159707 | ||
Matthew 22:32 "I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. So he is the God of the living, not the dead." Jacob was the third in the link of God's plan to start a nation from Abraham. The success of that plan was more often in spite of than because of Jacob's life. Also read through Hebrews 11:9. |

26 | Explain verses 9-18 Exodus chapter 24. | Exodus | Aliennow | 159058 | ||
In my interpretation this is when Moses went Mount Sanai to receive the 10 commandments. Other then that I know much more of what you are looking for. | ||||||
27 | 20 years of wrong ? | 1 John 1:9 | Aliennow | 159000 | ||
My case actually goes back 40 years. Just because we give our lives to Christ and repent of our sins does not mean that we will not sin again. We are always in a constant battle with the flesh(sin) and the spirit (good). Once we repent we need to ask for descernment to be led away from the temptations of the flesh. | ||||||
28 | gods purpose for nonbelievers | 1 Corinthians | Aliennow | 158970 | ||
We are all created by God and in His image with a purpose for living. To read about Spiritual gifts go to 1 Corinthians chapter 17. 1 Corinthians 17: 1- 3 "Now about spiritual gifts, brothers, I do not want you to be ignorant. You know that when you were pagans, somehow or other you were influenced and led astray to mute idols. Therefore I tell you that no one who is speaking by the Spirit of God says, "Jesus be cursed," and no one can say, "Jesus is Lord," except by the Holy Spirit." May I ask why you consider yourself a non-believer? |
