Bible Question:
Who did the devil murder? We are told by Jesus that the devil was a murderer from the beginning: John 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. Praise the Lord! Norm |
Bible Answer: Norm; good question. Ge 2:16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat Ge 2:17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof THOU SHALT SURELY DIE. When Satan tempted Eve in the garden, and she gave into the temptation, and disobeyed God, the death her and Adam faced was spiritual death, and would also be subjected to a future physical death. So I think in that sense he was a murder from the beginning. Everyone born from that day forward are born in a spiritually dead condition. There probably is more meaning concerning this than I have in this brief comment spoken of. New Creature |
