Bible Note: Your interpretation of What Pail was saying renders Satan as a non factor. Big mistake. Scripture describes him as a roaring lion, no one should ever ignore a roaring lion. Scripture is the accuser of the saints. Why accuse someone that has no responsibility for their destiny? Scripture says Satan is the tempter. Why tempt someone that has no choice? The damaged Reformed philosophy rings hollow when you look at the Book Of Job. Satan accused Job of loving God for what God gave him. Yet Satan never said what do you expect you elected Job to love you and he has no choice and nothing that I do can make him lose his salvation. The Book of Job should show anyone how damaged the Reformed Philosophy is. Or do you ignore James citing Job as example of preseverance to accomplish God's will? Sounds like Job had a major part in his blessing. |
