Should you trust everything you see on television, read in fantasy novels, or read or see on the internet?

Can most certainly love the man either way. :) Faith and love.

Hmm. . .

Upon An Everlasting Perception Aware Of Year Zero.
Arrives The Primitive Notion Of Eerily Unaware Thought's Thinking Within Thought's.

Perhaps, As The Warm Raining Showers Of Beams Singing In Effortless Light Touching The Flesh Weary In Endlessness.
There Are Billions Of Questions That Blink Inside Of The Heart Of The Universe. Where The Potion Of It's Pulse Speaks Hidden In Lucifer.

As Our Shadows Slowly Develop Parallel Upon It's Original Orbit Tracing The Footsteps Of Collective Darkness. Lost In It's Unaware Dream.
The Brightly Dim Unconscious Inquisition Wanders, Among The Videotape Of Pictures Gazing Into An Abyss, Of It's Own Surreal Reflection.

It May Softly Seek The Tranquil Serene Unvanquished Pyramid Drawing Shapes Of Scent Colorful In It's Own Mirrored Void Of Nothingness.
As The Rising Tides Of The Apples Give Nightmares To The Delicately Bitten Sin Devouring The Will Of Our Heavenly Father, Upon The Lost.

Either Way, The Kingdom Is At Hand. The Righteous Shall Not Slip. The Sinners Will Repent. The Sky Will Open. As The Dreams Shall Awake.

Good Luck!,
May Wisdom Bless!.

And!,
Please,

God says, "I am Who am." Satan says, "I am who am not."

He has far more ability to operate if we deny his existence. Satan and his demons are more active today than ever. Just look around at the misery, chaos, lying, murders, etc., in our society. It should be obvious to even the most casual of observers!

Do you remember when the devils that Yeshua met in towns and villages seeing demon possessed people, and they always asked him, have you come to torture us before our time? That to me seems to me that the demons where gonna get obliertated.

Believe the Bible.

Peter discerned Satan filling the heart of Ananias whose selfish motives resulted in him lying to God.

Act 5:1-5
Now a man named Ananias, together with his wife Sapphira, also sold a piece of property. (2) With his wife’s full knowledge, he kept back some of the proceeds for himself, but brought a portion and laid it at the apostles’ feet. (3) Then Peter said, “Ananias, how is it that Satan has filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and withhold some of the proceeds from the land? (4) Did it not belong to you before it was sold? And after it was sold, was it not at your disposal? How could you conceive such a deed in your heart? You have not lied to men, but to God!” (5) On hearing these words, Ananias fell down and died. And great fear came over all who heard what had happened.

Paul discerned that he had a messenger from Satan constantly troubling him.

2Co 12:5-10
I will boast about such a man, but I will not boast about myself, except in my weaknesses. (6) Even if I wanted to boast, I would not be a fool, because I would be speaking the truth. But I refrain, so no one will credit me with more than he sees in me or hears from me, (7) or because of these surpassingly great revelations. So to keep me from becoming conceited, I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me. (8) Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. (9) But He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is perfected in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly in my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest on me. (10) That is why, for the sake of Christ, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

Many New Testament verses indicate Satan is not yet bound in the abyss or cast into the Lake of Fire.

Act 26:18
To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.
Rom 16:20 And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.
1Co 5:5 To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.
1Co 7:5 Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency.
2Co 2:11
Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.

Paul advised of the necessity to wear Spiritual Armour whenever protection against the Devil and his cohort is required.

Eph 6:11-13
Put on the full armor of God, so that you can make your stand against the devil’s schemes. (12) For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this world’s darkness, and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. (13) Therefore take up the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you will be able to stand your ground, and having done everything, to stand.

Hello to you my friend,

While I personally do not believe that Satan and his angels are still around due to being done away with by Yahava, because of the Lord Yeshua, which was justifiable. Darkness still exists, evil intentions can come from our own thoughts and be projected outwardly through our flesh which comes from our own souls, which sins have been taken care of by because of God's righteous judgement. Therefore guard against evil and wicked ways, and cling to the living God that gives life to every human being that wakes up today, and is constantly calling them. Darkness was what people loved more than the light because their evil deeds were exposed.

To me it would be a day in a thousand years which is a day in a thousand years. The fulness of time when Yeshua promise to rid the world of the prince which was Satan, once and for all and judgement would happen upon the very chosen nation that the LORD had dealt patiently with for 1500, or so years before completely killing off, 1,000,000 jews, some captured and taken off, believers where all taken and their material lived life was put to ruin just like sodom and gormarrah by the roman army, which was used by God because Satan was used to go ahead and up them to the death of their world in which they only have ever truly known from alway rejecting God, as their king, and also that they put his very own Word to death, and the Word decided to do it on love for God, and keeping is word, and loving you.

You're absolutely right! Only those deceived by Satan deny his existence. And they are his messengers.

"There is a way which seemed RIGHT unto a man, but the END thereof are the ways of DEATH" (Proverbs 14:12).
God says His word is TRUTH in Ephesians 1:13, "In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the Word of Truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that Holy Spirit of promise." Jesus Christ (God the Son) also said in John 14:6, "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." He said HE IS THE TRUTH NOT A TRUTH; and the only way that we can go to God the Father in Heaven is only through Him.

Do you believe this Matthew?
Is Jesus your Lord & Savior?
Is he a liar?

There is an ENEMY of God and humanity. That enemy needs to be known. For example, in the famous parable of the farmer and the seed, it is satan who snatches away the kingdom seed before it can take root in a hearer's life (Mark 4:15). Again, in the parable of the weeds in Matthew 13:24-30, Jesus speaks of an enemy who sows weeds among the wheat, and in his explanation in verses 36-43 Jesus identifies the enemy
as "the evil one," "the devil" (especially Matt. 13:38-39).

We cannot read the END of the book and presume it is already finished, for the sayings there are future. Satan's head was CRUSHED at Calvary, (as God said in Genesis it would be) when Jesus made sacrifice for our sins. Our victory over death was sealed at his resurrection. He left us his words and the word of the Apostles to mature us for our glorification promise.

1 Peter 5:8 - Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:

Ephesians 6:11-12 - Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

James 4:7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

Jude 1:6 - And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.

Do you, Matthew believe the word of God or what another teaches or has taught you ?



Do not be like this please.

2 Timothy 3:5-7
5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH.

Michael & The Exorcist: "I Saw Her Crawl Up A Wall" | Fr. Dan Reehil​

Fascinating. You don't have to believe it but it can still be true.

There's a Russel Crowe movie on PPV now , The Popes Exorcist.

I rented it. The priest it references died years before the movie was made. However, it is said much in the movie is Hollywood fiction. Though the priest did encounter Satan and Demons for years.

If I saw a woman crawl up a wall I'd tend to believe something is wrong with her.

During the last popes term 8n office he supposedly reinitiated the order of St. Michael. A priestly order dedicated solely to exorcism.

That's interesting.

As for Demons, I saw a woman transform slightly before her friend said something that called her human mask back into place.
If you're like me and you look people in the eyes when you meet and talk, you can see something shift in those who are possessed.

Wild stuff.

People may decide subjectively what they believe to still be around or not around. To me personally it's not good to play around with witchcraft, or to do evil to other people, or to think evil thoughts of them either. I wont say a persons subjective experience was not real for them. It's just considering what the bible states in revelation, Satan was done away with. That is where I personally stand on the matter. Whether or not someone accepts that the Revelation has happened yet or not, is not between me and another person. It is between me and God, and so therefore it is for you too. Some say you personally can be your own worst enemy, and I tend to take that as true. If God can be for you who can be against us? You yourself, if Satan is done away with, and darkness itself.

People will tend to believe someone needs to be corrected if they do not follow them and their own understanding - that is false. People need to allow others to think and believe how they will for themselves, even after you share what you believe is important with others. Not to say that you do not matter, or that you should not be cared about it. It is simply people do not have to fall in line with everything a person may or may not believe in.

Satan is not cast into the 'Lake of Fire' until AFTER the LORD Jesus Christ Returns = see Revelation chapters 19 & 20

Yes people say that all the time, @David in NJ. You can still believe that is not yet true for you personally. It's okay. It's not something worth fighting over... cause I believe the Revelation is a viable book, and referential to go back see what is in it. I believe that Jesus has returned, and most disagree and they desire to pull up whatever they will from the bible to make sure that I know what the scriptures say, and what their doctrinal position is. I love you nonetheless, as a human being. People do like to make their points though and that is very okay with me.

Everything a person believes is between them and God, not them and other individuals, that is why the faith is lived subjectively with many different measures of faith.
