Can you help Jack with his answer Amigo?
I remember your pro JW comment.LOL some of largest battles in this forum have been with JW's - you're not very observant are you Jack?
Evidently YOU don't know.Can you help Jack with his answer Amigo?
What did the angels do when Christ ascended Heaven for the first time?
Let's see if other's do Jack...it always good to be inclusive!Evidently YOU don't know.
I seriously doubt that anyone else cares since God commanded the angels to worship Jesus because Jesus is God the Creator.Let's see if other's do Jack...it always good to be inclusive!
Well, I think you should speak for yourself, since there are others here who accept that the adversary is the first rebel who manifested as a serpent in Eden, (Rev 12:9-12) tempting the human race to separate them from their Creator through disobedience, so that he could take his place as their god and ruler. (2 Cor 4:4)The first question one must ask of Jane's quote in 2 Thessalonians is simple...Who is the Adversary the Apostle is referring to? We know its not some supernatural make believe creature that dwells in fire!
Jesus called Peter “satan” because he was telling Jesus he did not need to suffer and die….at the time when he needed to be the strongest, Peter was undermining his resolve to stay focused on the outcome of his mission. Satan’s whole agenda is to get humans to disobey God and join him in eternal death. He knows he can’t win, but he will relish taking as many down with him as he can deceive.You see Paul uses the same language when writing to the Corinthians, in describing Jewish adversaries who had assumed apostolic powers, disguising themselves as servants of righteousness (Read 2 Co 10:2-15). When people hide their true identity and disguise one's true character they become an Adversary of the True Gospel of God.
Continue in your unbelief, and when Christ manifests as judge, you can let him know then that satan does not exist…..OK?No Supernatural Evil being here as Jane has imagined! Jane has missed the true context opting for more fanciful notions - she has actually revealed that she is the deceived one.
That is not what Rev 12:9-12 teaches and you know what Jane - you won't come back to even attempt to prove that because you and I both know that Scripture has nothing to do with a make believe fallen rebel angel! You failed to respond last time and you will again. Out of oxygen!Well, I think you should speak for yourself, since there are others here accept that the adversary is the first rebel who manifested as a serpent in Eden, (Rev 12:9-12)
Who is the god of this world Jane? Its certainly not divine in origin, that's for certain!tempting the human race to separate them from their Creator through disobedience, so that he could take his place as their god and ruler. (2 Cor 4:4)
True and you know even in your ignorance Jane you will not allow the Word of God to teach you the Scriptural definition of Satan.Jesus called Peter “satan” because he was telling Jesus he did not need to suffer and die….at the time when he needed to be the strongest, Peter was undermining his resolve to stay focused on the outcome of his mission.
Like that comment means anything to me after the above responses! You need to revisit this JW doctrine if you are ever to find truth!Continue in your unbelief, and when Christ manifests as judge, you can let him know then that satan does not exist.
If you say so…..carry on and let’s see the proof of what has been said here. I’ll let Jesus provide the answers….you are a legend in your own lunchtime and have it all sown up…..I believe you need a double dose of 1Cor 10:12…..we will wait and see if the “Lone Ranger” is the only one here with the truth…..shall we? You have no brotherhood…..all the best with that.That is not what Rev 12:9-12 teaches and you know what Jane - you won't come back to even attempt to prove that because you and I both know that Scripture has nothing to do with a make believe fallen rebel angel!

Who is the god of this world Jane? Its certainly not divine in origin, that's for certain!
You reference is talking about veiled minds like yours on this subject!
For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride of life—is not from the Father but is from the world.
a terrible god it is Jane! but not a make belief supernatural evil!
True and you know even in your ignorance Jane you will not allow the Word of God to teach you the Scriptural definition of Satan.
But he turned and said to Peter, “Get behind me, Satan! You are a hindrance to me. For you are not setting your mind on the things of God, but on the things of man.”
Wow Jane - what a perfect time for Jesus to mention your beloved monster!
But no Jane...instead he is told he is an adversary "saying those things of man" and not of God!
You are not the sharpest JW I've met!
Like that comment means anything to me after the above responses! You need to revisit this JW doctrine if you are ever to find truth!

You quote verses and you show no understanding of what is being said. It's really poor reading of the Word!If you say so…..carry on and let’s see the proof of what has been said here.
He already has and you ignore them willingly. Even this response is admission of your lack of willingness to handle the Word correctly.I’ll let Jesus provide the answers….
Not all...just that I know you can't prove the existence of a rebel angel and so far nowhere in these exchanges have you provided an ounce of evidence, and even those of like belief are silent!you are a legend in your own lunchtime and have it all sown up…..
And you can look upon the heart Jane? If I fall is it due to some rebel angel putting some invisible stumbling block in my way? Problem with wishing these things on people is it oftens comes back to bite you. I'm keeping this discussion based on your constant need to reference a being which doesnt exist and for you to provide some evidence of its existence which to date you have not.I believe you need a double dose of 1Cor 10:12…..
I have a brotherhood Jane just that I don't need to fall on them to show you truth!we will wait and see if the “Lone Ranger” is the only one here with the truth…..shall we? You have no brotherhood…..all the best with that.
While you are veiled how can you see? It matter's not until these things are revealed to you. Pray for wisdom and read the Word without the bias!Ignored status reinstated.
You mean AFTER HE had risen from the dead . Right .Can you help Jack with his answer Amigo?
What did the angels do when Christ ascended Heaven for the first time?
Then lets HEED the WORD of GOD and not of men .Seriously though...are there any honest Christians who can say "I'm not convinced this monster exists?!"
But he turned and said to Peter, “Get behind me, Satan! You are a hindrance to me. For you are not setting your mind on the things of God, but on the things of man.”
satan...adversary = the things of man!
The Word of God goes to great lengths to show you in ever case the adversary of false accuser is human not some supernatural monster.
F2F
Satan loves it when his messengers convince people that he doesn't exist!Seriously though...are there any honest Christians who can say "I'm not convinced this monster exists?!"

The man fails to realize that satan worketh through lost men .Satan loves it when his messengers convince people that he doesn't exist!
Rather odd then HOW JESUS says I SAW SATAN like lightning FALL FROM HEAVENSeriously though...are there any honest Christians who can say "I'm not convinced this monster exists?!"

Satan's main weapon is staying hidden so he can deceive. He loves deceiving! He's an expert! He loves pretending to be Christian.The man fails to realize that satan worketh through lost men .
Rather he thinks Satan himself as an entity does not exist
but rather its the idea of our own flesh etc .
BE HE BE WRONG .
Dead wrong too .
You see Satan does work through the flesh of men . He influences man through the lusts of the flesh .
And HE like all who obeyed Him will burn in a lake of fire that burns greatly and fiercly .
A place which the bible says consists of GREAT TORMENTS .
A place which both CHRIST on earth and from heaven said COMETH AFTER the physical body has died .
FEAR NOT HE who can only KILL the body .
The lake of fire is real . And i promise its not place a soul wil ever want to be . ITS REAL .
JUST like EVERY WORD OF GOD IS REAL AND TRUE .
To omit the warnings about the lake of fire
which GOD himself spoke about
and yet try and hold onto the parts where GOD promises eternal life , MAKES ZERO SENSE .
EITHER WE BELIEVE as does a child HIS EVERY WORD or we dont really believe HIM at all .
This is why we were warned of a massive falling away .Satan's main weapon is staying hidden so he can deceive. He loves deceiving! He's an expert! He loves pretending to be Christian.
Revelation 12
9 So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
Nothing here relevant to the discussion at hand.Then lets HEED the WORD of GOD and not of men .
In the beginning was the WORD and the Word was with GOD and GOD was the WORD .
let us not heed men who try and change stuff . Eh .
Let me ask ya a simple question .
Go back to GENESIS . Read the first chapter .
NOTICE something .
IT shows us HOW GOD created . HE SPOKE and it was . GOD IS HIS WORD , HE IS HIS OWN ESSENCE
GOD SPOKE and it was . JESUS IS THE WORD OF GOD AND GOD IS HIS WORD . But ye go and learn what that meaneth .
So no comment on the text - okay.Satan loves it when his messengers convince people that he doesn't exist!
