Chris,

You were doing fine until you started defending what God does when God needs no defense.

Everything that exists only does so because of God.

When the three evil spirits are deposed of, evil will be history, replaced by the comfort we've strived for our entire existence.

( Revelation 20:10) And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

Thank you Chris. Once I read this I have been searching to find an answer. I found this site & prayed someone could help me. I appreciate you responding. God bless you.

Thank you for your prayer support. We are finding comfort in the promises of God as we find in the Scriptures. At the same time we see the heart of our son hardening especially toward me his Dad. We simply cannot bless his choices and he cannot work for us if he refuses to show respect and honor to us as parents. This will bring much hardship on both us and our son, but he will ultimately lose far more. May God have mercy on my son, but I pray he will be brought low and humbled.

Hello Patricia. In that passage, the English word "hell", is "sheol" in Hebrew. And 'sheol' is a feminine noun, hence the use of 'herself & her'. I think some other translations just use 'it', but the KJV stays with the Hebrew grammar.

can anyone tells the Angel name in verse 1

please continue to pray for myself and my daughters Deanna nd Jessica and there families

Hi Benjamin. I can understand your comments, even as others have also indicated elsewhere. However, I think that all these comments are merely hypotheses as one cannot assume that sin wouldn't have come to us some other way, or whether the power of choice given to man was actually a flaw leading to sin.

Indeed, "God can do anything He pleases", but to create evil (?). That assumption violates the very Character of a Holy God. "For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee." ( Psalm 5:4). Can such a God hate evil & denounce it every level through the Holy Scriptures, but then be the One to create it? And even if He did, He would have no right to accuse anyone of doing that which He created. So, in my understanding, such a proposition becomes absurd - at least to the God I know, of the Bible.

Who gave Jesus the cloak that the Roman soldiers cast lots for? Did Jesus mother make it for him? Or was it given to Jesus by the soldiers who flagged him?

Thanks Lester ,i appreciate your answer and will keep all that in mind ,i prefer Bibles without red lettering and references / notations etc , they distract me ,if they are not there i can just read the words and i can try to connect passages myself which is good exercise for my brain and memory ,things that you have had to figure out by your own effort stay in your brain longer ,i think so but others can and will disagree .

Revelation ch1 v1 clearly states that the things that are revealed in that book are future FUTURE events .

The war in heaven took place before the book of Genesis.

7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his (evil) angels,

8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.

9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his (evil) angels were cast out with him.

God told Michael the Archangel to dispatch satan and his evil followers to earth at once! A lot of people don't comprehend that satan is a created being. The Bible says it. Word search: Lucifer.

This needs to be exposed today. I got this info off a Book of Shadows website; which is the Satanic Bible.

My comment is this: Angel worship is FORBIDDEN in Christianity. In pagan society, Saint Michael is a high ranking demonic prince. Go google a list of all demon names. It will creep you out.

I was saved out of the Occult. I was conscious a few seconds when the Holy Spirit delivered me from all that had a home inside of me. I try not to think of the screams, because they were mine.

[copied & pasted as is on the website]

"St. Michael Protection Spell for Wiccan, Pagan, Conjure & Hoodoo Ritual"

"When ready, light the candle and ask St. Michael to guide and protect you. You may also ask him to specifically protect you from your situation, person, etc.

Of course, you can always recite the Prayer to St. Michael written by Pope XIII in 1886 or simply create a prayer of your own."

Mishael: that prayer is evil.

Chris,

If God didn't create angels, there'd be no sin.

If God didn't created man so flawed, there would be no sin.

God created evil; God can do anything He pleases.

Fact.

( Luke 1:31-33)

31 And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.

32 He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:

33 And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.

Lex,

It means they are a hypocrite.

It means a man cannot serve two masters.

It means a house can't stand divided against itself.

It means the seed that fell amongst thorny weeds.

It means lukewarm.

It means ( Joshua 24:15)

Dear Lester,

Unfortunately, what you said is untrue. John 3:10-21 is all one big quote from Jesus. How do we know it's a quote from Jesus? Because it says in verse 10: Link

"Jesus answered and said unto him..." then Jesus gives a several verse statement which is common. Then ends with an obvious transition statement: "After these things..."

All Bible translations show it was Jesus talking and scholars agree. I think you just randomly said 'most scholars' without really knowing what most scholars believe, didn't you? That is some serious mental gymastics to claim that Jesus didn't say this quote that literally says "Jesus answered and said unto him..." with continued flow in the quote until verse 21.

Do you pray to God for wisdom and understanding of His word before spreading such a belief around? Are you 100% sure what you're spreading around is true? What if it isn't, and what if the Bible is correct and you are not? What is your goal in doing this?

God bless.

Thank you Michael for that response. As you may anticipate, I refute practically everything you've stated about the Almighty God. I believe the fundamental flaw in your argument is that "God is to be held responsible for the origin of evilnessthat evil is in Jehovah's nature & expressed by His actions". I bring up three areas to consider:

a. if there is any evil within God, even a speck of it, then whatever goodness is there becomes tainted with evil. And this effectively makes the whole evil. So even the goodness of God is no longer pure but impure. I think you're saying that God is wholly evil without any goodness in Him. If that's the case, then what Scriptures are you reading that show this & what Scriptures are you avoiding that show His Goodness to man. God can't be good & evil simultaneously. You would need to cite a couple of examples.

b. the origin of evil does not come from God but from Satan. Ezekiel 28:12-15 speaks of the King of Tyrus, but clearly the content of those verses point to Satan, the spirit indwelling the king. Satan was "perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee." God didn't create evil in that cherub, evil was found in him. Evil can enter when we are given the power of choice: Satan fell, Adam & Eve fell, & all who are born with such flesh.

c. what you've read in the Bible that presents God with an evil component in Himself is likely man's own belief of what is wrong or unfair & not from Truth. As created beings we might demand rightness from the Creator, when in fact the Creator has the right to demand of us & to do with us as He pleases: Romans 9:19-23. Are you then unmindful of this Truth of the Sovereignty & Wisdom of God? You've mentioned Eden & the temptations given to Jesus; why would you think that God instigated such things for evil? Yes, He could have prevented them but that certainly does not indicate any wrongdoing. We can never be in the place of God & He doesn't reveal all.

Jesse,

Wisdom from God is similar to asking God for understanding on the book of Job. God would implore you to READ the book of Job first.

Beloved Brothers and Sisters:

My Prayer Request is that OUR LOVE GOD JEHOVAH, THE MOST MEANINFUL LOVE, May Enter the Deepest of My Love Mind, Heart, Soul, Spirit and Body, so JESUS CHRIST Reveal to Me Everything I Have to Do, in order for JEHOVAH to Pay Me, this Very Moment, a Daily Salary of 1 Billion Dollars Every Day of My Wealthy Life, Constantly and Eternally.

Thanks a lot!

Blessings from THE FATHER to You All,

Sacha,

Most scholars don't believe Jesus said the words in John 3:13, it was John. The red lettering past vs 12 is in error.

And no one has gone up to heaven, but he who came down from heaven, the Son of Man, who is in heaven. Bible

"And no one." Jesus did not speak the words recorded in John 3:13 (or any of the words from verse 13 to the end of chapter 3). Jesus did not say he was in heaven while he was standing in Jerusalem speaking to Nicodemus. Jesus stops speaking at the end of verse 12, and that is where the red letters in red-letter Bibles should also stop. Verse 13 is part of the narrative of the Gospel of John, not Jesus speaking. Most of the Gospel of John is the narrative of John. John opens up with narrative, and the majority of chapter 1, and most of the rest of John, is narrative. John chapter 3 opens with narrative ("There was a man of the Pharisees...."), and that narrative continues in verse 13.

Although most people do not realize it, scholars debate what part of John chapter 3 was spoken by Jesus, and at what point the words of Jesus stop and the narration of the Gospel of John restarts

Norman Walker,

A good response to that would be "If I didn't have God's Spirit living inside me persuading me to believe that He is real and that His word is true, I would believe the same way you do!"

One day, every person who has rejected Jesus Christ is going to see how real He is!
