Why do you believe Satan is still around today? (Please read Op)

[Jack]

Who said that, Jack?

You said you don't believe Jesus is coming back.

 

[MatthewG]

One day you'll die and meet Jesus, but he is not coming back anymore.

He came back one time.

For his bride.

 

[Jack]

Those people who were waiting and watching in faith seen him come back already.

Acts 1
9 Now when He had spoken these things, while they watched, He was taken up, and a cloud received Him out of their sight.
10 And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as He went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel,
11 who also said, "Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven."

Now that is a scripture I can't provide, and something that pertains to faith. I can provide scriptures that pertain to them waiting and watching then in that time though, and that is something you can't fight against.

But you for some reason love to like fight with me about this ... @Jack. It's stupid.

I'm defending our Bible against your blatant attacks.

 

[MatthewG]

Dont you understand it yet, Jack? If you dont it's fine.


I mean you're the one that is commenting here.

 

[MatthewG]

You defending a bible that in context never dealt with the nation of America or anyone that is alive today. That is fine, that is your right to do as an american.

 

[MatthewG]

I love the bible, and find it useful.

I think what you are defending is more of what you believe, or whatever.

Well, Satan has been defeated, otherwise the bible is a lie, and Jesus was a liar too while we are at it, and the apostles, @Jack.

For his bride.

1 Thessalonians 4
16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord.

 

[MatthewG]

You can call me a liar, crazy, heretic.

It really doesn't matter to me.

Satan isn't around anymore, but people dont have faith that is true that Jesus has had the victory.

and that is okay, @Jack.

That's too bad. All the promises of salvation are not for you then.

1 Thessalonians 2
18 Therefore we wanted to come to you--even I, Paul, time and again--but Satan hindered us.

 

[MatthewG]

Ok.

 

[MatthewG]

1 Thessalonians 2
18 Therefore we wanted to come to you--even I, Paul, time and again--but Satan hindered us.

1 Thessalonians 1​

​

New International Version​

​

​

1 Paul, Silas[a] and Timothy,
To the church of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ:
Grace and peace to you.

He did hinder them. He wasn't completely done away with until Revelation. His defeat started at the cross.

 

[Jack]

1 Thessalonians 1​

New International Version​

1 Paul, Silas[a] and Timothy,
To the church of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ:
Grace and peace to you.

I don't see any salvation promises with your name on them. You just make up your own bible to please yourself!

 

[MatthewG]

Well you're also not the judge, @Jack.

You know you can believe however you want, it doesn't bother me personally. I just dont have to accept what you say as the direct truth just cause you can quote a bible scripture.

 

[Jack]

Well you're also not the judge, @Jack.

You said it yourself. I didn't judge you.

 

[MatthewG]

This is the thread I created about - why do people believe satan is still around.

You are someone who still does, with thousands of other people that would back you up on that.

I would still stand against all of those thousand other peoples. It's okay though, people can believe what they want, cause ... in the end what we believe may not matter.


Especially if we cant love one another.


While I say Satan has been defeated - and openly admit you can believe what you want.


That is freedom, and love in my opinion cause it's all between you and God.

Hell will be filled with people who don't believe in Hell.

And you are free to continue to attack and chop up our Bible. For now anyway.

Revelation 22
19 If anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the Book of Life, from the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

 

[MatthewG]

So there is no salvation if the bible doesn't pertain to America, @Jack?

 

[MatthewG]

And you are free to continue to attack and chop up our Bible.

Thank you, I respect that.
