Bible Question:
I am reading a book that has raised 2 questions. 1) Does anyone know which Bible Version the NEB is? 2) Can anyone support or refute, with scripture, the claim that the devil can tune in to our thoughts and feelings? Thanks. |
Bible Answer: Matt 6:33, One of my favorite verses, Matthew 6:33.... I would like to add my thoughts to your question of, "can Satan read our thoughts." I realize the Bible does not specifically say yes or no. But think about it, only human beings have a mouth, tongue, vocal cords, and so on; spiritual beings do not of which Satan is one. Second Corinthians 4:4 states, "the god of this world has blinded their minds..." indicating that Satan can/has put thoughts in human minds. To me it is obvious that all spiritual beings communicate (or can) without the use of a "tongue." Well, how then do they communicate if they do not have vocal cords and a tongue? It seems obvious they communicate telepathically. If this is so, I would suggest they can read our thoughts, whether believer or unbeliever. I have walked with God over 40 years and am very conservative and cautious. This is strictly "my opinion" and just that, an opinion. However, I base this on many many years of observation with both myself and others. Again, it is just my observation; But, how else do "spiritual beings communicate?" And, are we also going to say that "God can not or does not read our thougts?" The scriptures clearly say He does, and if so, there is nothing to indicate in scripture that other spiritual beings can not. Psalm 139:4 says, "even before there was a word on my tongue, behold, O Lord, Thou dost know it all." Interesting isn't it............? Your thougts? (or anyone else....) InGodITrust |
