People can also try to get under skin by also trying to make snide remarks to you. You must hold on to the Lord! Dont let your flesh get you so mad you start popping off on individuals. It happens so many times not only to myself but many on the forums. Trust God rely on him, rest in Christ (YOU KNOW YOURSELF) compared to those who nothing anout you.

Study study study for answers.

No one is obligated to answer anyones question. Anyone who is able to read and write is still subject to be able to study.

If someone you know or you personally are not willingly to study and seek for answers.

Thats not my fault.

Man will lie and throw rocks at you, spit in your face, and call you a liar.

As a man I am a liar.

But Gods not and he didnt lie about doing away with Satan.

Have faith.

Dont trust Man.

Man will lie to you, manipulate you.

Man will throw stones, man will mock you.

Man will try to get you to doubt God and Jesus victory!

Dont trust man.

Dont put your faith in man.

Trust God, put Faith in Christ Jesus and his victory and their victory for all the world!

Darkness still exists, and the evil spirits of this world! Darkness exist within us, and the world.

Jesus is the solution, and the light of all mankind.

Satan has been defeated. He is not around anymore, the bible says so…

If you dont trust it; and what God has done.

Then you may be trusting yourself instead and not fully in God alone whos promise has come true.

No one is obligated to answet any questions.

Also there are people that are out there whom can also have mental instablities, i have worked with them.

Not everyone is gonna believe God has had the victory and they will tell you stories about how they may have had encounters with the devil and what not.

If people wanna still believe Satan is still around by all means…

But that doesnt mean you have to trust them and their stories.

I would suggest study for yourself.,.,

Dont believe what people say on youtube about Satan or people behind a pulpit, or online.

Investigate for yourself!

Man will try to get you to come down on their level, focus on the Lord Jesus.

Allow the Lord to come through. Its true all people have the proclivity to be lazy. And some people rather be lazy than study. That is just truth, im the same way. Its nothing new.

Dont attack people who insult you.

Dont pay evil for evil.

Do you listen to what man says?

Or what Jesus says?

Let your yes be yes and your no be no.

Dont let man try to fool you. Dont let your flesh give in and start trying to fight cause thsts what some people are looking for. Just to find a reason to fight.

Read the Gospels, they desired to kill jesus though they had to wait for a tome.

Trust in God.

Never in man.

The last postion a man can be in is the worst without Christ, and following the spirit.

Flesh desires to have all.
The spirit desires to let go, to love, and be longsuffering. No matter the situtation.

Jesus was so radical in everything he did people sought to kill him in anyway they could.

People will seek to kill you and it can just be fighting over stupid stuff on the internet like beliefs.

Its really just a showcase of how nothing had changed. The only real change is the heart.

Satan has been done away with!

Praise be to God; for the victory of Jesus.

People quote the bible and ask questions.

If they arent willingly to study for themselves then that is an issue.

Cause naturally most of the time when people ask questions here they share what they believe.

Thats all fine an good; but if you arent going to seek for yourself and you already have a biased opinion.

Nothing was ever gonna change in the first place.

Guess when this was written.

1 Timothy 1
20 Among these are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have handed over to Satan, so that they will be taught not to blaspheme.

Long after Jesus died!

You and me could go all morning long @Jack. Im no obligated to do anything but tell the truth.

Saying Satan is still around today, is a lie.

Revelation foretold his defeat, and I believe it! completely in faith.

Satan LOVES that lie!

2 Thessalonians 2
8 And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming. 9 The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders,

Long after Jesus died!

People will love to just wuote scripture to prove a point and its okay.

They can believe whatever they want to.

It doesnt mean you have to trust them or believe like them.

This a great display.

Dont you love how people who really want something to be true will go to measures to just put what has been foretold in Revelation on the back burner?

Ah… what to do but let people say what they will, think what they think, do what they do.

I love you Jack but i disagree with your belief that Satan is still around today… but ill continue to share the knowledge that God has allowed to be founded in the bible.

He has been defeated my friend. :)

Glad we could get a lot of people looking at this thread and hope God helps them come to truth and stop beliving all the…

“Man”ipulation going on out there in the world.

Im done now, thank you again Jack and all the best :)

Telling people that Satan doesn't exist isn't Biblical love. That's setting people up to be Satan's prey!

James 4:7 Resist the devil and he will flee from you.
That was written long after Jesus died!

Breakfast is cooked.

People believe that if you say that Satan is done away with and gone today - it strips away the ability to instill fear-mongering on other individuals. This is why I have stated this morning many times, people need to study and not just believe stories off the internet, or what other people have stated or said - they have had experience with demons or satan. While there are spirits in the world that are evil (in my opinion), and darkness still exist within our souls.

Why are all the bad things in the world happening? It's Satan's fault. It couldn't have been human beings fault. Therefore put the blame on the devil, so "I am not accountable for my own actions." The bible clearly states - that Satan is done away in Revelation. The problem is, many people don't believe, so the the natural lie that continues on forward from man... is that "Satan is still around today."

It's so strange as well that people say "Yes the devil is defeated ... but ... " ??? But what? Satan is defeated, and if that is the case, Revelation foretells you that Satan become done away with, and hell, and the false prophet, and the beast... Why is it that people still are faithless that these things have happened? Perhaps it's look at the world, and not looking at your own self... who is bad in nature... who can do no good without abiding Christ. Though humans can do good... by human standards it's nothing compared to the heavenly ways. So? Is Satan still around today the Fallen angel, that beguiled Eve in the Garden? Since the victory of Christ?

Yes.

I love the bible, and find it an amazing spiritual guide for seekers of truth, however traditions of man will keep you in darkness, and bondage - not only to them but to your own mentality - and limit spiritual growth. The Devil was around for a time, that age is no more.


God said that Satan would have his head crush, Jesus foretold that the prince of the world (Satan) would be cast out, and then in Revelation you have his doing away with...

If the bible is true, God is true, but it takes faith to trust him, and faith is the only thing that pleases him, and sharing good things with others. (EVEN IF YOU ARE MOCKED FOR IT or people talk behind your back, calling you not a Christian cause you believe such things)

It's a great thing to know that Sin has been taken care of by Jesus Christ, thing is what you do with that knowledge is up to you. Do you die with him, bury the old life, and raise to new life (while admitting and being honest with God of your own faults?)

That is what God wants from us.... all... honesty. Pray and give praise to Him and his Son.

Satan is WRECKING this world and you tell people he doesn't exist. You're helping Satan!

Ah Matthew, your knowledge of what is unfolding is pitiful. At present Satan has access to heaven and it is not until the war in heaven is over with the defeat of Satan and the angels that rebelled with him that he will be imprisoned in the Bottomless Pit for 1,000 years with no ability during that time that he is locked up to influence anyone of the face of the earth.

What we are seeing at the moment is Satan providing his good and faithful servants with the ability to interfere with the establishment of God's Everlasting Kingdom which He will shortly establish on the face of the earth.

When Satan returns after being released after his imprisonment of 1,000 years he wants the harvest of souls during the time of his imprisonment. During the Little while period he will try and co-hearse the saints to turn away from God and many will abandon God in favour of Satan.

Satan is captured just before Christ's second coming and is cast into the lake of fire with the beast and the Little horn.

All of what I have stated above in this post is true.

You need to spend more time reading and rereading the scriptures so that God's truth has a chance to penetrate your mind with God's truth.

It is your call whether or not you accept what I have said in this post, but be warned, the choice that is before you is either that of life or death.

May God continue to draw you to Himself so that you establish a relationship with God that cannot be broken.

Shalom

In a vision, I saw Satan attacking me, but the Cross of Christ protected me. Another time, Satan came to me lying, and I rebuked him. I've felt hands on both my arms pulling me, Jesus protected me, and thrust him away.
Satan is attacking those that God has chosen, to knock them off and ruin their testimony, even thought he cannot take away their salvation. Like the Preacher's that succumb to lust and have affairs, this is Satan's doing to ruin your testimony. What do regular unsaved people say about Christian's?; ,,,,,,hypocrites. See the lies that Satan spreads. Satan is alive today and spreading lies because he's the father of lies.

John 8:43-45 - Why do you not understand My speech? Because you are not able to listen to My word. 44 You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it. 45 But because I tell the truth, you do not believe Me.

You cannot use your finite mind to understand the infinite mind of God and His ways, or the immense Gift of Salvation of Jesus Christ on the Cross. There is an unseen dimension that is enveloped around us, and those born from above must trust in the Lord.
Proverbs 3:5 -Trust in the Lord, and lean not on your own understanding.
