Bible Question: 1 Corinthians 10:26 For the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof. John 14:30 "I will not speak much more with you, for the ruler of the world is coming, and he has nothing in Me; i do not understand,how dose satan rule the earth if the earth is the lord's? i read my bible but there is alot that i do not understand.thank you for your help |
Bible Answer: Greetings pretrib and welcome to the forum. The earth is the Lord,s God is the creator the world is His,you maybe equating ownership and rulership as one in the same.That is not always true.Read (Gen 1:26) this tells how God Gave Adam rulership,authority. When Adam sinned he relenquished that authority.Now,he didn't relenquish that authority back to God. Understand that God didn't give anything up, the aithority Adam had was confired on him by God.Now if he didn't relenquish that authority back to God that leaves us with another possibility. Checkout (Mtt 4:1-11) this will give you somefood for thought. In Christ, lionheart |
