Bible Note: Hello, Peace to you in Spirit and in Love. I do agree with you regarding the Father being able to assume control over satan at any time he chooses as I believe is suggested in Job, but why does He allow things to happen? I believe one of our answers is in Romans 11:25. In Romans 11:25, I believe He states that what He does or allows is set to an appointed time. I believe everything our Father does is done at an appointed time. With a careful and heartfelt search and study of the letter from our Father I believe all Children of the Living Father can come to understand His will as stated in Matt 13:14,15. But I, in humbleness, totally disagree that it is the Father's will that satan can take a life. I believe satan is allowed to be a great deal more than man, can or ever will be able to comprehend in the flesh and satan is extremely under estimated. I am not a fan of satan, don't take me wrong. But, it is written in "2Pet 3:9 - The Lord is not slack concerning His promises, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance." And He has counted the hairs on our head, Matt 10:30. I believe that 1John 4:19 states the greatest gift the Father ever gave to any of His Children,"...He first loved us." His True Love is no less than perfect and that is what I believe He wants from us, including friendship, "Isaiah 41:8 - But thou, Israel, art My Servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the seed of Abraham My friend." And in the New Testament by Jesus in John 15. John 15:12 - This is My commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. John 15:13 - Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. John 15:14 - Ye are My friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. John 15:15 - Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of My Father I have made known unto you. I believe the Father wants True Love and Friendship from all His Children and without freewill to make that choice, it will not be true if not done, from the sincerity of the heart and this is where I believe satan has erred, He has forgotten what is Love and that he is only allowed until an appointed time and he also will be washed away amongst the clay. These are my thoughts, and I thank you for the opportunity to share them. IN the true Rock of Faith and Hope, casiv |
