But God does use Satan to discipline his born again children. You don't believe that though and those parts of God's words are not in you because you're an easy believer. While you convict others of Calvinism, you are under easy believism.

Once can embrace some calvinist doctrine and not know it.... unless of course they accept the whole counsel of God

John Calvin was led by devils.... anybody that thinks it's OK to have someone
murdered just because they don't agree with them . . . . . has a devil, no doubt!
And then later he wrote about it and said he had no regrets and would do it all over again, so he was unrepentant concerning murdering others which is how John Calvin ended up burning in hell which is where he is at now.
All murderers will have their part in the lake that burns with fire - see Revelation 21:8

That's false doctrine.... He sent the Holy Spirit and His Word to teach us.
If satan is continually all up in your bidness, it's because you are not walking with the Lord as you should be.
James 4:7
Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
The definition of resisting the devil is to submit one's self to the Lord which means accepting the whole counsel of God (full Gospel)... and this is where most get tripped up by 'ol slewfoot because they only accept bits and pieces of what God's Word teaches.
Ephesians 4:27
Neither give place to the devil.
You should get to know ALL of what the Lord says in His Word.... rather than bits and pieces
Here's one you OSAS people cannot explain away.... this is written to believers, those that have been born again:
Romans 11:22
Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, IF thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.
Smoking its a heck of a thorn.Fighting for many years not sure if its gone yet its a sneaky one.All it does is destroy me and steals myself respect my money destroys my house my truck and heath.I can't come up with one good reason to do it.Effects my children and even passes it along in some cases.It looks harmless but should be out right banned helping many.
I speak about a personal sin I have over come and I am immediately attacked by another Christian.

No... you smoke cigarettes because you WANT to smoke cigarettes
Then you play this little devil inspired victim game as though cigarettes are forcing themselves upon you and you are helpless to quit. Like someone else is forcing you to buy them and then forcing you to light up. What a joke! (I smoked for years back in the day... been there, done that)
Abusing your body with cigarettes is in fact sinful behavior that you have total control over but the devils in your life have deceived you in to wrongly thinking cigarettes are not sinful and instead are some sort of disease you have no power over.
The devil is seriously laughing at you homie!

Hebrews 12:6-7
6 For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.
7 If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?.../KJV

Here is False doctrine, = (Calvinism- Hyper-calvinism) that teach that God sends harm to destroy your life, or those who you love, so that you become more Spiritual...
And that is actually teaching that God is doing the Devil's work..
Notice carefully reader..
Jesus said....."if you've seen me, you've seen the Father".. and "I do the works of Hime that sent me, and that which i see the Father do, that i do"..
So, the Father's Works......are what JESUS DID.....
HEALING
CURING
Delivering
Giving Peace
Restoring Lives.
Forgiving
So, its CALVINISM and Hyper Calvinism, that say that the Devil's work.. which is to harm you, is God doing it, is God's will.
Well, if that is true, then Jesus is a Liar.
No worries.....>Jesus is THE TRUTH......and its CALVIN who is the demonic Liar, and his Disciples who teach His lies are of the same ministry.
There are many addictions in life that are thorns smoking drugs alcohol and sex to start with its anything that takes away from you life holding you back even sorrow.
I know I choose it you don't need to point your finger at me its not helpful in anyway and I don't smoke anymore.There will always be people condemning others to hell rather than bring hope in Jesus which is the gospel they should be preaching.They immediately try to make people feel even more guilty rather than say there is hope in God.

WHERE does the Lord say He sends the devil to correct His people?
God's Word does not teach that satan works for the Lord... satan is self employed and seeks to kill, steal, and destroy
Those engaging in sinful behavior while refusing to repent... ARE actually guilty!
If one sows to the flesh they shall of the flesh reap corruption (Gal 6:7,8)
God's Word contains lots of warnings... they are intended to wake people up to the reality that if they continue in their sin, they will not be going to Heaven and they need to REPENT of their sin and turn away from it.

If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:

Mystery babylone who worketh the mystery of inquity has not been sleeping .Ah ok...Sowwy my bad
She has broken down walls through her songs of deceptoin and is unifying the children of all tribes
to merge as one . Only what they dont know is Satan is her father and she doeth the will of her father .
Every religion is of mysterybabylone in some form or another . THE ONLY
ones who are not of THOSE OF THE LAMB .
She has infiltrated big time christendom and has sung her sweet sounding song
to the denominations to break down what she calls walls of division
she has removed doctrines meant for our good and has made this people to become unequally yoked
and they have fallen .
She leads them and the false religoins to break down walls of divsion through her song of what she calls love
what she calls tolerance , but her song is but a song of death that leadeth only to the second death .
KEEP that in mind dear sister . Interfaith is of anti christ , it is the solution to the world that mysterby babylon the great
Harlot has sung to this people . She has killed before and she will again . she will merge this world as one
in this last hour and they will come against the true saints WHO DID NOT buy her song of what she called love
BUT STOOD FIRM IN CHRIST JESUS and all BIBLICAL SOUND DOCTRINE . This war is about to PEAK SISTER .

I am not a Calvinist but have you forgotten that God allowed Satan to destroy Job's family, property and health to test Job because Satan said he could get Job to curse God?

Have you ever wondered why God uses a female image for Mystery Babylon, MOTHER of HARLOTS? Because Lucifer is female. A bit of a change of subject I know but its important

Many either never knew or have forgotten a lot of bible doctrine .
many do not realize what GOD allows and for what purpose .
He works good to those who love him no matter what is allowed to come against them .
He also do this too .
IF a dreamer o dreams does come and has a dream and his vision comes to pass
STILL DO NOT FOLLOW HIM
GOD allows it , TO SEE , TO PROVE US to SEE WHETHER WE TRULY LOVE HIM OR NOT .
HE will also answer the prophet according to the idols of his own heart .
GOD even sends , allows to be sent a STRONG DELUSOIN unto all who rejected the love of the truth , the gospel whereby they could
have been saved .
HE even turns men over to reprobation who , THOUGH HE DESIRED not their death , they wanted no reminder of HIM .
People need toget back into the bible , instead of heeding men who twist it and try and omit things in it .

If you study the story of Job, you'll find that Job caused it to happen.
He said this...>>"What i FEARED, has come upon me"..
See that?
"what i FEARED".....
So, that allowed this....
"The devil walks about as a roaring Lion, seeking Whom, He may Devour"..
Who is that?
= The Fearful, as Fear is the opposite of Faith....yet, fear is actually FAITH in the FEAR..
So, if you have FAITH in the FEAR.........in other words.....If you BELIEVE something bad is going to happen to you, then that is your FAITH, and Jesus said........that your faith will produce the situation, as it by your FAITH that you get what you are believing for.....
So, Job's FEAR, was His Faith... and that Faith in what He feared, brought it to him.

its more so because it represents a religoin of sorts . Even JESUS said ye are of your father the devil . he did use the masculine .
Though i am not sure either satan or the angels are male or female seeing they are spirit .
Satan is often used in the masculine , ITS HIS WHORE RELIGOIN that is used in the feminie
JUST as the church itself , BEING the bride of Christ is known in female gender .
IT can be tricky dear sister .
