Hi Jodi,

All life comes from God.

All power originates in the creation of God.

But God tempts nobody and in Him there is no darkness or shadow of turning.

God is very tolerant for now but His judgements are already written.

God allows testing of the saved and the death of some.

It is foolishness to blame God for evil.

He owes nobody…[Read more]

Hi Jodi,

Matt 8.16f

When the even had come, they brought unto him many who were oppressed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, AND healed all that were sick: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses.

Your interpretation is…[Read more]

Hi Jodi,

So the affliction was a Satan to her?

wriggle wriggle wriggle.

Hi Jodi,

Why do you follow the world in relegating the teachings of the Spirit to pagan superstition?

Do you not fear God?

Hi Jodi,

Lk 14.11 does not say what you quote.

Lk 13.11f does.

But you seem to have deceptively missed the last statement of Jesus in v 16.

“And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has bound, lo these 18 years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day?”

Hi Gene,

Eating from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil gave man insight, conscience and a sense of morality.

Rebellion and idolatry robbed him of the closeness with the Source of the ability to behave well.

Sin standing at the door became sin in the flesh and the whole world lies in wickedness.

Hi Jodi,

Demons also believe, and tremble.

They also had quite a lot to say from within their human vessels.

Your avalanche of opinions continues but cannot hide the darkness and the powers of Satan.

Hi,

Acts 26.15

..I am Jesus whom thou persecuted.

But rise and stand on your feet; for I have appeared unto you for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness both of these things which thou hast seen, and of those things in the which I will appear unto thee; delivering thee from the people, and from the gentiles, unto whom I now send…[Read more]

Hi,

Hi,

Is 54.13f

All your sons will be taught of the Lord;and the well-being of your sons will be great.In righteousness you will be established; you will be far from oppression for you will not fear; and from terror, for it will not come near you. If anyone fiercely assails you it will not be from Me. Whoever assails you will fall because of…[Read more]

Hi,

There are a lot of wisdom from different sources in this thread.

The list of books quoted in the bible, but not in the canon, shown by Mercy on page 9 is amazing imo.

Hi Jodi,

Heb 2.14f

Therefore, since the children share in flesh and blood he himself likewise also partook of the same, that through death he might render powerless him who has the power of death, that is the devil, and might free those who through fear of death were subject to slavery all their lives.

1Cor 15.54

..Death is swallowed up in…[Read more]

Hi Jodi,

Col 3.9

”Do not lie TO ONE ANOTHER, since you laid aside the old self with it’s evil practices”

Written by Paul to individuals about walking in the Spirit.

The OLD MAN you offered is vanishing.

Hi Jodi,

Eph 4.22

”that in reference to your FORMER WAY OF LIFE, you lay aside THE OLD SELF, which is being corrupted in accordance with the lusts of deceit, and that you be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and put on the new self, which in the likeness to God has been created in righteousness and holiness of the truth”

This is a dir…[Read more]

Hi Jodi,

Do you still have frequent conversations with yourself?

Hi Jodi,

You say

” The OLD MAN shall not deceive the nations any more”

So we know that nations are made up of many people.

You claim the variety of fleshly lusts in many people makes up one OLD MAN.

This conglomerate OLD MAN is opposed to the ways of God

“Satan is the same as the OLD MAN…”

You are certainly making the OLD MAN sound v…[Read more]

Hi,

Jodi has not changed her tune for over 10 years.

I doubt that she can.

Hi Jodi,

You say

”As it was men deceiving the nations by the OLD MAN before the beginning of the thousand years, so it will be after the thousand years”

This OLD MAN is fascinating.

Somehow carnal man’s lusts become a being to be imprisoned and a combined force of amazing influence.

Imagination ++

Hi Jodi,

The pit is the place from which men are resurrected to face judgement.

Reference to the bottomless pit only occurs in Rev 9.

It probably means the same thing.

Hi Jodi,

You say

”The bottomless pit, transliterated word Abussos, also used as deep in the above scritpture, represented where the dead go or  from where the dead rise”

Did Jesus not show that Sheol has two parts, one the bosom of Abraham and the other a place of torment.? Lk 16
