Bible Question: I have heard teachings that say when Adam and Eve sinned, the authority they had been given by God was given to the Devil. If this is true, what authority did Jesus use while on earth? |
Bible Answer: Hello, dathowes! When you say dominion over Satan, do you imply that Adam had control (ownership/authority) over Satan, and he lost it after sinning? If you only mean Adam's authority bein passed to Satan, then your own question has your reply: God gave Adam authority over the earth (animals, plants...) not authority to dispense proprietorship or power! Merry Christmas! May the Light guide your path! |
