Bible Question:
Could the devil have created some "people" who now inhabit this earth and they make up those who are not saved. If someone thinks so, then is there any scriptural support for such an idea? Thanks. |
Bible Answer: In the book of Job when satan approaches the Lord how is it that the Lord addresses satan? Does the Lord give any indication at all that He in fact is even remotely prepared to recognize satan as a valid and real entity of life and substance? Does not the Lord ask satan who he is and where is it he has come from--does this not imply that the Lord has no knowledge of satan which further implies that satan then cannot in fact truely exist--is it not true then theat the Lord only addresses this satan for mans own benefit so that man might see plainly what satan truely is--that being "No One" and "Nothing"? This is not the only instance we find in scripture where satan and the Lord converse--yet I challenge you to find any case in which the Lord validates satans existence in any way! Time after time you will find that yes even as the Lord does address satan, the Lord does so in a way that boldly defies and outright denies that satan has any substance at all. Satan and all things apart from God and unknown to God are by FACT not alive, not real and have absolutely no power what-so-ever. Do not be fooled, satan is a creation of man, satan is the idol man has made to bow to rather then live with the Lord-in this satan is evil, and in this we find the seed of our guilt and root of our sin. If I have not even begun to convince you then I ask you to consider then Jesus own testimony regarding satan. Did not Jesus call satan the prince of the world, or the prince of darkness. Does this not go on to not only imply but to say about as directly as possible that satan performs a service? Is not a prince under a king? Who then would accuse God of anything at all, who would be so bold as to accuse God as being the Lord over satan, who then would go up on a high plain and shout into the heavens the great accusations habbakuk voiced in his time, who then would not be completely leveld and ground into the dust by the humbling responce from above! HOW DARE YOU SEEK TO VALIDATE ANY JUDGEMENT OR ACCUSATION THAT YOU FORM AGAINST THE LORD YOUR GOD! The LOrd your God is not the king of sin, nor is the Lord your God the master of the servents of evil, who is left to take the throne, who is it that claims to be the master of the world, who is it that has made his dwelling, indeed his kingdom on the face of this earth? Not God, I can tell you that right now--man, man has done this, man is the king that governs over the prince of darkness, it is man who has claimed the earth to be his plunder, it is man, and only man that stands between himself and God! continued |
