Quote (Nick Hassan @ Sep. 16 2008,17:21)Hi Jodi, As well as working through the murderous heathen a study of Job 1-2 shows Satan has the ability to cause accidents, diseases and death and also to send fire from heaven.Satan in Job is an adversary to Job, and thus seen to men to be an adversary, but he is a Son of God, conversing with God on…[Read more]

Scripture NEVER says that evil is implanted into man's heart through a fallen angel. Genesis 6:5 The Lord saw that the wickedness of humankind was great in the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of their hearts was only evil continually.Genesis 8:21 And when the Lord smelled the pleasing odor, the Lord said in his heart, “I will…[Read more]

Mt 16:25 For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.I suppose Nick you want to tell us that it takes a fallen angel to make us desire to want to save our own life?

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Sep. 16 2008,16:29)Hi Jodi, Should you trust your own understanding on such matters?Which man/belly.Nick, why must you continue playing games?

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Sep. 16 2008,16:15)Hi Jodi,Certainly this adversary is not a belly.Matthew 5:25Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison.Why must you continue playing games…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Sep. 16 2008,16:09)Hi Jodi,You say”Jesus says that the adversary is a man who has in mind the things of men, but you want to make the adversary out as something entirely different. ” Which version do you use as this statement is in none of mine.Mt 16:23 But He turned and said to Peter, “Get behind Me, Satan! You are an offense…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Sep. 16 2008,16:01)Hi Jodi,Should we find answers by trusting human reason? As you say it lets us down. So what did Jesus say?Luke 10:18And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.So when you apply the adversary as meaning something of that which the bible does not give, what do you call that exactly??

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Sep. 16 2008,15:49)Hi Jodi, Jesus said all who came before were thieves and robbers and that the Spirit would remind us of his teachings so all truth centres on him. He was filled with the fulness of the Spirit and it is he whom we should first believe and let that Spirit show us truth. We should not try to find conflict in…[Read more]

So you don't understand what is meant by 'whose god is their belly.'Their god is themselves and their own understanding and their driving force behind their life is to serve their belly, to serve their flesh. Why would I be surprised that man is capable of delusions. Children are all walking delusions, ignorant of truth until you tell them what is…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Sep. 16 2008,15:20)Hi Jodi, So Jesus is not your teacher?Nick, stop playing games. If I read the bible and believe in it as the true words of God, then of course Jesus is my teacher. DUH!I am not the one who says that the enemies of Jesus and his followers are those whose god is their belly.Do you or do you not believe in the…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Sep. 16 2008,15:03)Hi Jodi, I do not think any particular belly rules the world.Is Jesus your primary teacher of truth?Nick, I have already told you I read the bible and try to understand it according to the brain of which God gave me. I write on this forum what makes the best sense to me when I consider the bible in it's…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Sep. 16 2008,14:51)Hi Jodi, What does Jesus say? We should listen to him .Nick, stop playing games man.Jesus said that the adversary is the man who has in mind the things of men. Mark 8:33Do you or do you not believe in the words of Jesus, or do you believe according to the traditions of men who say the adversary is a fallen…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Sep. 16 2008,14:35)Hi Jodi, The god of this world has been deposed by the newly appointed King Jesus.Jesus saw him fall from the heavens and now pilfers his kingdom.The darkness is being and will be dispelled by the light.The god of this world, the prince of this world is indeed clear through scripture.Once again,Ro 16:18 For…[Read more]

Hi NickIt seems that you are hiding your belief. Why don't you just answer the question? To whom or what do you believe the adversary or devil to be?

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Sep. 16 2008,13:59)Hi Jodi, Great that you acknowledge his existence. Jesus spoke of the prince.John 12:31Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.John 14:30Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in meJohn 16:11Of judgment, because…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Sep. 16 2008,11:23)Hi Jodi,As you have found men are very prone to delusion and the carnal intellect finds scriptural truth to be a foreign language. The prince of darkness rules this earthly dominion in a very organised fashion. Praise God Jesus has bound the strong man so we can pilfer his possessions and set men free.Hi…[Read more]

Can you understand what the scriptures are saying? People in the bible who worship false gods are following what?Jer 14:14 Then the…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Sep. 15 2008,23:17)Hi Jodi, Is it OK to call Jesus Lord and deny his teachings??Nick, I presume that you are asking yourself this question, and you need my help to answer.Nick, indeed you live as a hypocrite when you call Jesus your master, but you do not heed to his teachings. Like Gene says the best you can do is parrot his…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Sep. 15 2008,21:24)Hi Jodi, Good riddance to the flesh from the dominion of the god of this world. Did you think Satan is directly involved with his evil works? No Jesus told us of his very well organised kingdom.The bible says that God created the darkness, He gave the punishment of death. We live IN the darkness when we…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Sep. 15 2008,21:35)Hi JOdi, You have known deception and false reasoning so you should understand our vulnerability.Yes I understand the vulnerability that is in our weak flesh and in our ignorant mind and our fear of death.
