Indeed. I've seen too much to believe anything, but the Word of the Lord.
Title:
What is the big lie?

At WVU I did a research paper on this subject. It was on the most common dating methods. This is what I showed from secular sources.


In this case, a child showed this with the right questions. 😊

Yes, and I have a real problem with the thinking, "Well, He could have done it like He tells us, but man has proven that He didn't." Or, "His testimony isn't clear." Really? He explains twice in the law that in six days He created the heavens and the earth and all that is in them. A day has always and will always be one rotation of the planet on its axis. You don't have six days that last thousands or millions or billions of days. And there's no way that He's speaking of ages because He literally sub-defines each day as consisting of one evening and one morning. How is that not clear?

God bless you,
Ted

No, Satan is a fallen angel who was, before he was a fallen angel, a righteous servant of God. Just as are all of the god-honoring angels. But Satan found sin in his heart and tested God to rebel against His ultimate authority and God set him in his place until his destruction which has been established. Being a servant of God would imply that he will do what God wants. I'm pretty sure that Satan isn't doing what God wants. I mean, how fair would that be if God intentionally set Satan upon us. If we would have remained sinless and Satan would have never visited the earth, then we'd still be living in paradise. You think God told him to do that?

That would just seem to be cruel of someone to take people who would have been good and then set them the test that if they failed they would then live a life of strife and struggle and need and pain and suffering. No, I don't think God sent Satan to mankind as some sort of test that they failed. Satan came here all on his own against God's will. He spoke with the new creature that God had created and convinced her withing minutes to defy God. Satan is not God's servant. Although, if you want to consider him like Nebudchudnezzer, a sword of the Lord, I suppose one might make that stretch. But Israel had done evil before God sent Nebbie to overrun their cities for their defiance. Eve had done no evil before Satan spoke with her.
1 Kings 22:16 And the king said unto him, How many times shall I adjure thee that thou tell me nothing but that which is true in the name of the Lord?

17 And he said, I saw all Israel scattered upon the hills, as sheep that have not a shepherd: and the Lord said, These have no master: let them return every man to his house in peace.

18 And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, Did I not tell thee that he would prophesy no good concerning me, but evil?

19 And he said, Hear thou therefore the word of the Lord: I saw the Lord sitting on his throne, and all the host of heaven standing by him on his right hand and on his left.

20 And the Lord said, Who shall persuade Ahab, that he may go up and fall at Ramothgilead? And one said on this manner, and another said on that manner.

21 And there came forth a spirit, and stood before the Lord, and said, I will persuade him.

22 And the Lord said unto him, Wherewith? And he said, I will go forth, and I will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And he said, Thou shalt persuade him, and prevail also: go forth, and do so.

23 Now therefore, behold, the Lord hath put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these thy prophets, and the Lord hath spoken evil concerning thee.

it is not a matter of opinion or interpretation. We are told matter of factly in the word of God that Satan is a servant of God.
