However why even believe Satan is around? What benefit is that over complete victory of Christ who ushers a person into adoption by the Father and brings forth new life?
It depends who and what you think the adversary is.

The simplest answer, to why Satan is around today, is that it puts the fear of God, into Children.

There is a line between faith and doubt, that you dare not cross without the help of Experience (that is, God's).

There are many people that believe the way they do because they believe the way they do, and have had experiences that they believe is true, and they believe that it is true so they believe that it is true.

Regardless, the Bible still says that the Satan has been done away with.

However, you have countless teachings in experiences and you have the super natural world that people believe in that goes there still real and that the demons are still here and that Satan is still here.

therefore, if you wanna believe Satan is still here, I guess you can still believe that Satan is still here.

I don’t, because the Bible says it.

But everyone’s waiting around.

It don’t matter honestly to me personally that you believe Satan it’s still around, I guess the point of the thread what is the show you don’t have to believe like everyone else if you don’t want too.

All the best,
Matthew

When you rejected the Christian Bible you opened the door WIDE OPEN to Satan and his MANY deceptions.

Have you ever read psalm chapter 1?

It talks about how the fear of Yahweh is the beginning of knowledge.

Not fear of Satan.

But like I said, I don’t care if people believe personally that Satan is still around because the Bible says that he’s not he’s cast into the lake of fire.

The purpose of the thread is that no one has to believe what other people believe.

Many people don’t have faith that is true.

Satan is very much alive and kicking today! the very clear evidence of this is that SIN ABOUNDS in this VERY WICKED and SINFUL world.
I do not see any evidence that Satan is still here, nor do I see any reason to believe that he is still here.

The purpose of the thread is that no one has to believe like other people do just because they say it.

Hasn't happened yet.
That’s what a lot of people say because they don’t have faith in Jesus Christ has had to victory.

Or they say, they believe Satanist been defeated, but…

The purpose of the thread is no one has to believe just because someone says Satan is still around, that they must conform, or say that Satan is still around.

The people believe what they will.

In the purpose of the thread, is that other people don’t have to just accept what other people believe or except that Satan is still around just because someone says Satan is still around.

I know what you believe about it already.

We kind of see the same way, but you don’t believe that Satan was real.

That’s something I don’t believe it’s true, but if you remember, from our past conversations, we can be our own adversity.

However, with so many people out there in the world, it is obvious that this topic at large will be rejected, because of so many conspiracy theories, imaginations, likes of the supernatural beyond, and simply rejection to Satan being done in the lake of fire, it’s just impossible for many.

There was a guy who wrote the left behind series, and many people wrote books, and things, like this of this nature pertaining to when Jesus would come back, so they’re still waiting. But the first century Christians were told to wait. But wait. There’s a second round coming.

Supposedly,

But the purpose of the thread is, of course you don’t have to believe what other people have thought for countless decades, just because they say Satan is still around.

Why don’t people believe that they can have their own thoughts and they can be tempted by the thoughts that they have? Why do they always gotta put the blame on Satan? Does a John the beloved in the Bible right about how the world influences individuals?

Such as the lust of the eyes, the lust of the flesh and the pride of life?

It seems to me that spirits exist, but they are spirits of the world,

Like spirit of greed, spirit of hatred, spirit of anger, that leads to murder.

But again, Jack, I love you and I appreciate all your comments and then I’m going to be judge, and can go to hell, maybe Satan will be putting his pitchfork in the back of my neck, all the best to you.

When you reject the Bible you are following Satan!

'Spirits of the world' are Demons from Satan.
But again, Jack, I love you and I appreciate all your comments and then I’m going to be judge, and can go to hell, maybe Satan will be putting his pitchfork in the back of my neck all the best to you.
When you rejected and ATTACKED our Bible you chose to follow Satan.
The purpose of the thread is that no one has to believe that Sign-in still around today just because people say Satan is still around.

According to the Bible, Satan was done away with
, however, not many people have faith that is true.
You have ZERO Scripture because it's not true.

That’s not an excuse, many people don’t see any fault within themselves, so they are blame Satan, God forbid they look in the mirror.

The purpose of the thread is no one has to believe that Satan is around today just because people say Satan is around today. The evidence points to his defeat with looking at the Bible, but many people doubt, and don’t have faith that it’s true.

Human beings come out of the womb in darkness, only to eventually be taught about the light.

Why do you reject the Christian Bible? Satan has deceived you. Jesus clearly warned us of the 'everlasting fire' where humans will be 'tormented day and night forever and ever'. That's Scripture. And you PROVE that you are following Satan by rejecting the Scriptures!

Jack I don’t care what you had to say. That’s why I have you on ignore because you’re annoying.

Put me on, ignoring you won’t even see my post.

The point of the thread is that just because people say Satan is really still here, or Satan is still there doesn’t mean you have to believe that Satan is still there.

You can believe he is, but you don’t have to, the Bible talks about his defeat, but many people don’t have faith in that.

God of the Bible is what 'annoys' you.

No, your persistence is what really annoys me and I’m sure my persistence annoys others, but you may not have the gumption to say that to me. Will you put it out there very easily.

I’m not trying to fight anyone here, but you can be very persistent, but you realize all you’re doing is just making this thread bump up every time you do that and people will see what you say or see what I say?

Satan is not around anymore. His demons are not around anymore.. spirits of the world doesn’t have anything to do with Demons or Satan. The children of the world are smarter than the children of light. Did you know that?

Anyway, I’m just stupid, huh? With your false accusations that I reject the Bible and then I’m not a Christian is very insulting.

But you choose to do whatever you want.

The purpose of this thread was to show that just because people say Satan is still around does not make it true the Bible talks about the defeat of Satan however, many people have very doubtful imputation to even consider that it has happened today
