Hi Nancy, You gave this scripture, 1 Peter 5:8 "Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil (DIABOLOS/FALSE ACCUSER) prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. I responded giving you many scriptures so that those scriptures could be applied to the above scripture...

Giuliano, Thanks for reply to my posts. You say many things that I do agree with and some things that I don't. I hope to have some time later today to read through your posts more thoroughly and reply back to more of what you have said.

Hi Giuliano, YOU:Note if you will when Satan shows up in the Bible. ME: "When Satan shows up in the bible" does not fit at all my understanding. Satan means adversary, it's not some name of one being, or one supernatural force that makes up multiple wicked spirits. YLT doesn't even use the...

Hi Helen and All, Throughout scripture man is likened to animals, men/kings/armies are called a beast or a dragon. 10 But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves. Man is likened to animals...

Hi Helen, Nancy asked a question and then answered her own question, and I then gave a response to her own answer. Nancy said, "Who was it that tempted Eve? It was Satan who was once the most beautiful angel, Lucifer. He rebelled and became Satan" You make me sad Helen. You don't know...

Hi Nancy, Continued, 1 Cor 3:19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness. Phil 3:19 Whose end is destruction, whose god is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things. I Corinthians 1:19...

Hi Nancy, Psalms 57:3 He shall send from heaven, and save me from the reproach of him that would swallow me up. God shall send forth his mercy and his truth. 4 My soul is among lions: and I lie even among them that are set on fire, even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and...

Hi Nancy, YOU:In the Garden of Eden, I read that there are 3 created beings. God made all things "very good". Who was it that tempted Eve? It was Satan who was once the most beautiful angel, Lucifer. He rebelled and became Satan. So, did Eve tempt Eve?? ME: I have no idea what you are...

Hi Nancy, Thanks for your reply and keeping this conversation going! Isaiah 45:6 That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the LORD, and there is none else. 7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil...

Hi mrjhealth, All the scriptures given so far tell you CLEARLY/EXACTLY where deceit and lies come from, why men sin. There is NO scripture that says there are wicked rebel spirits floating around influencing humans to sin. Romans 8:6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually...

Hi mjrhealth, MORE, Mark 7:21 For it is from WITHIN, from the human heart, that evil intentions come: fornication, theft, murder, 22 adultery, avarice, wickedness, deceit, licentiousness, envy, slander, pride, folly. 23 All these evil things come from within, and they defile a person."...

Hi mjhealth, Once again I want to bring up what is the clear given truth, Genesis makes it clear in the beginning that it is man’s OWN IMAGINATION that gets him into trouble. 5 And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his...

mjrhealth, Please read the scriptures below and I look forward to hearing an explanation, Deuteronomy 28:15 But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day; that all...

Hi Giuliano, thanks for your reply. I agree with you, of course God is not capable of iniquity, our Creator IS righteous, perfect. The word translated evil as you know is RA, which reflects bad/disagreeable/pain/suffering/adversity...ect. Our God curses/punishes according to righteous purpose...

Hi Enoch111, The more I studied scripture the more I found what you believe is false. I'm not a puppet to a doctrine of men. When you read scripture and things don't add up to what you have been taught, you question not God's word, but the doctrine of men. When I have debated this to others...

Hi DNB, Romans 1:18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; 19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. 20 For the invisible things of him from...

Hi Dave, You: God would only ask someone to do something, if it were possible in the first ME: I see where you are coming from and how such would appear to be quite reasonable, but that is not what Paul teaches us from my understanding, nor is such true in my experience working with young...

Hi DNB, YOU:Your analogy about choice was not accurate, for free will can obviously override taste buds, desires, inclinations or propensities. I can be enticed to eat something that I don't typically like, because I'm told that it's either spiced differently, or that it's good for me, etc.. I...

Hi DNB, Thanks for reading my post and replying. I am really enjoying this conversation and seeing how it is you understand things and comparing it to mine. Great site of scripture, where Jesus said "forgive them for they know not what they do!" That makes me think also of a number of...

Hi DNB, thanks for your relpy. I agree with you that they knew of the commandment, and they willfully disobeyed. I also believe that God gave that commandment and He knew full well that they wouldn't keep it, that it would be impossible for them to. I hope to clarify what I was getting at...
