Hi Dr. B, There is not currently a means of editing posts. I knew you meant Samuel. Normally what we do when we catch our errors is simply post a correction following. Not that anyone on this forum Ever makes errors! ;-) You may email the Lockman Foundation to request changes to the site. Their email address is at the bottom of your screen. Love in Christ, Mark |

82 | Where in scripture is the fall of Satan? | Bible general Archive 3 | mark d seyler | 166065 | ||
We are not given a lot regarding the creation and fall of Satan. Psalm 104 talks about creation, and in verse 4 we read "He makes the winds His messengers, Flaming fire His ministers." This is the only verse I am aware of that specifically talks about the creation of angels. Luke 10:18 And He said to them, "I was watching Satan fall from heaven like lightning." We are not told when exactly this happened, and there is a lot of different conjecture. Many people believe that passages such as Isaiah 14:12-17 and Ezekiel 28:12-19 are of a dual nature, both of the earthly rulers, and also of Satan. There are some very intriguing statements made, esp. in Ezekiel. If I were to guess, I would say that the angels were created on the second day, based on Psalm 104, and that he fell sometime between the creation of man and the fall of man, when Satan realized that God was making man to be higher than the angels, and Satan became prideful. But like I said, these are just my guesses. I hope this helps! Love in Christ, Mark |

86 | Does Satan Exist Part III | Bible general Archive 3 | mark d seyler | 166188 | ||
Satan could be insane. All of this notwithstanding, Revelation 20 connects this being, whom we call Satan, to the serpent in the garden, to the adversary of the Old Testament, to the Satan of the New, to the Devil that deceives. God's purposes will be served, no matter who you are, or what you do, God is Sovereign. Neither Hitler, nor Judas, nor the devil himself will subvert or prevent the purposes of God coming to pass. That's what it means to be both Sovereign and Omnipotent. Love in Christ, Mark |

89 | Mark of the Beast | Bible general Archive 3 | mark d seyler | 167208 | ||
TJStarfire, This interpretation of the mark of the beast has been looked at previously. Please use the search option to view some of these discussions. Simply put, the Biblical text gives no foundation to believe anything other than that this is a literal, physical mark, that marks the bodies of those who choose to buy and sell during the reign of the beast, who (the marked, and the beast) will be forever condemned. Love in Christ, Mark |

Hi Leia, Look at what Peter wrote: 1 Pet 3:14 But even if you should suffer for the sake of righteousness, you are blessed. AND DO NOT FEAR THEIR INTIMIDATION, AND DO NOT BE TROUBLED, 1 Pet 3:15 but sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, always being ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, yet with gentleness and reverence; 1 Pet 3:16 and keep a good conscience so that in the thing in which you are slandered, those who revile your good behavior in Christ will be put to shame. 1 Pet 3:17 For it is better, if God should will it so, that you suffer for doing what is right rather than for doing what is wrong. This seems to me to directly apply to the situation you described. In as much as you patiently endured the evil done to you, you did the will of God. Paul also wrote: Titus 2:9 Urge bondslaves to be subject to their own masters in everything, to be well-pleasing, not argumentative, Titus 2:10 not pilfering, but showing all good faith so that they will adorn the doctrine of God our Savior in every respect. No matter how she came to be your boss, no matter how she acted as your boss, your responsibility to her is the same. So again, to the extent that you fulfilled these things, you fulfilled the will of God. 2 Cor 4:17 For momentary, light affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison, 2 Cor 4:18 while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal. Love in Christ, Mark |

Hi Leia, There is a side to this that I think we sometimes overlook. People don't always realize what it is that they are doing. I say this in reference to those who would hurt, abuse, or otherwise use us. As Christians, we are called to gentleness, to not return evil for evil, and to even allow ourselves to be taken advantage of. We are even told to give extra than required, and to not always seek to redress wrongs. You ask a great question, Where is the balance? Jesus could have at any moment stopped the beatings, mockings, and execution. The Priests and Pharisees were certainly taking advantage of the fact that He didn't. The were abusing Him with the intent of getting Him out of the way of their lucrative business ripping people off in the temple. They were hurting Him, even killing Him, to retain their power-hold over the people. To the Priests and Pharisees, Jesus' death was a stepping stone to their own riches and power. Jesus let them. And why? 1 Peter 2 21 For you have been called for this purpose, since Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example for you to follow in His steps, 22 who committed no sin, nor was any deceit found in his mouth; 23 and while being reviled, He did not revile in return; while suffering, He uttered no threats, but kept entrusting Himself to Him who judges righteously; He entrusted Himself to the Father, the Righteous Judge. People don't always know what is really happening. The Priests and Pharisees didn't know: 1 Cor 2 6 Yet we do speak wisdom among those who are mature; a wisdom, however, not of this age nor of the rulers of this age, who are passing away; 7 but we speak God's wisdom in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God predestined before the ages to our glory; 8 the wisdom which none of the rulers of this age has understood; for if they had understood it they would not have crucified the Lord of glory; They didn't know what they were actually doing to Jesus. Other people don't know what they are actually doing to us. They think they are hurting us, using us, abusing us, but in reality they are providing the backdrop, the circumstance, that God is using to perfect us, to sanctify us, to teach us how to follow His Word in our daily lives. There is fellow I know who ends his letters in a way that has impressed itself on me permanently: "The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love." You are in my prayers. Love in Christ, Mark |
