you know better
not sure what your game is, but you know who the devil is and you know who fooled who in the garden
1Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven with the key to the Abyss, holding in his hand a great chain. 2He seized the dragon, that ancient serpent who is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years. 3And he threw him into the Abyss, shut it, and sealed it over him, so that he could not deceive the nations until the thousand years were complete. After that, he must be released for a brief period of time. Revelation 20
No game. Your quote says it right there, the dragon is named Devil and Satan. As for who he fooled in the garden, he fooled the woman.
Jerimiahscup I'm clocking 50 to 100 times thru the NT and the OT less but the Devil is in the Bible in Genesis by ch 3 fallen...and Ezekiel only further explains it....we all know that Jesus saw Satan fall from heaven like lightening...so pls 1/3 of the angels ate fallen....the HS has backed all this up for a long time when we read....all the disagreements in this forum have to do with people reading little...3 times thru is only 300 hours work...try 10s of thousands of hours just reading whole books of the Bible and doing every verse...
You have to give all up as Jesus....John the Baptist and the apostles did...the Christian life is not a life of possessions....its a life of giving all ones things and time to the gospel as Jesus and Paul did....till then don't think 3 times thru is that much....its just 45 min a day for a year....not many hours a day for decades and not skipping any verse to obey....i still sin...but less
Excellent that you have read the Bible, however Genesis 3:1 states very clearly that the devil is an animal. The book of Ezekiel doesn't even mention him, the book of Ezekiel begins with Ezekiel in captivity and receiving the spirit of God and his commission to prophesy. The book of Ezekiel then goes into Ezekiel testifying against all the nations/races and their kings. Finally the book of Ezekiel concludes with Ezekiel measuring out the third temple.
A third of the angels will indeed be tricked by the dragon and will side with the dragon when the dragon foolishly makes war in heaven. The dragon and the foolish angels side with him shall be cast out of heaven and no place shall be found in the heaven for them anymore, but great woe to the earth for the Devil will be come to the earth in great wrath he will know on that day that his time short.
For reading the Bible, well yes I have put in a lot more hours chicken-pecking this or that book one off. I find doing a cover-to-cover read through is very beneficial though, it is very illuminating.
Yes you have to give up quite a lot to follow God, and most people will hate you for it, but it's worth it because there is true freedom in the truth of God.
Dave...God said faith and truth would be lost at the end...and the falling away would happen...and we are in it right....look at the treads...they are not truth....for the most part....the Antichrist will rise from Rome and that's run by the Vatican....the great whore is the Roman church of idols....Very few are born again...and 99% of them know little of the Bible like on this forum...Mary...why are we talking about her like that or the Devil as if we don't know who he is lol....but very sad
No the man of sin will not be a catholic. The book of Daniel indicates that the man of sin will institute a religion and an idol to a false god that the fathers did not know. This means it will be an entirely new false religion. Not that this is an excuse for the false pagan religions and heretical religions that exist, those are obviously still bad, but merely they will not be the final false religion due to their false gods and doctrines being derived from their wicked fathers.
Lucifer was once known as the Angel of Light but now is the Prince of Darkness.
Incorrect. The word lucifer, which is latin for the dawnbringer, lightbearer, or the wandering star of venus, is an epithet found 5 times in the latin version of the Bible. It is never applied to an angel. Satan never had light in him, just like Jesus said. Satan was always an animal, he always will be an animal, and he always was and always will be evil. Man should have never listened to the animal to begin with when you consider that God gave man charge over the animals.
scripture says he is an angel. You must be defining the ward angel different from how God defines it. Animals are always visible to us, Satan is and devils are not always visible.
Nope you cannot find a single scripture that says Satan is an angel or says Satan was an angel. The closest you will get says that Satan tricks people by pretending to be angel of light. I am not defining angel differently at all, the angels were made to be the messengers and attendants of Lord God. They were created by Lord God a little higher than man. Satan by contrast is a lowly creation, for he is an animal, and after his original sin of his Three Lies (the spirit/breath of the demons) he was cursed above all the other animals by Lord God. Just further proof that he is an animal.
