    now you have clothed your beloved fallen angel Satan with great powers and authority like unto God his self ????


    sorry friend but I will not praise nor give glory to a false idol in that way any longer --I will give ALL glory and praise to the Lord of Lords and him only who hath ALL power and glory and honor for all ages :love2::love2::love2:

    you have showed me nothing but you mis-understanding of a text that is talking about a MAN and is symbolic language--that man was not literally in the garden---its figurative language like as the king of Babylon is friend

    That is exactly what you've done. You've created your own god in your image.

    Who told you to give glory to Satan?

    Recognizing biblical truths about Satan is not giving him glory. The scriptures say Satan can do wonders and miracles. He will even make an image appear to come to life. That is not giving Satan glory, it is simply what the word of God says.

    Rev 13:12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
    13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
    14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
    15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.

    Whether you like it or not, the scriptures show Satan has great powers. He can do wonders and miracles, he has power to give life unto the image of the beast.

    It does not glorify Satan to believe the word of God, but it does call God a liar when you do not believe the word of God.

    1 Peter 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:

    God allows Satan to rule this world. Scripture says so. But God does intervene by His own will.

    If our adversary is not a being, then who is seeking to devour us? Oh wait, you think God is the adversary right? Is God seeking to devour us?

    WHOA now, you people that don't understand the scriptures! The Master Satan has NEVER been in chains, nor was a mere fallen angelic being, and all the discussion of Satan in the Bible was speaking of men, a man, high priest etc. but some lowly being! Now, if Satan was on Earth dealing with jesus nothing would have stopped him from tempting jesus. Powerful Satan “could have taken bodily form and deceived the jews by doing this himself” “ --but this [satan] was NO fallen angelic being”.

    I’m “scared” to answer the Satanic interpretations of the scriptures. (L)lord bless [punish] me. ;);)

    Satan never fell from God - he is what He is Not – from the beginning. John 1:1 &2.

    How am I doing?

    :cool:

    so your satan could have took bodily form and leaped from the pinnacle of the temple and deceived the people with his powers ???

    why did he tempt jesus to do so when he could have done it his self ???

    You have been shown Scriptures over and over on this thread and remain in denial.

    You also have not used the same criteria for God that you did for Satan.

    BTW, the cal group are known for not attributing any evil to God. That is a mis-characterization by Winman that is really unfounded.

    God is not the author of evil nor did he create any evil being. Will God use evil folks for His will, of course - that is exampled many times in Scriptures.

    But, back YOUR response, you cannot be consistent with denial of Satan and not be obliged to apply the same thinking to God.

    For, as the psalmist states, "If one is to believe in God, they first have to acknowledge that He IS...."

    You choose not to believe in a literal Satan which is inconsistent with any true belief in God.

    By extrapolation, you cannot actually hold to a literal hell, and a literal heaven. For without believing in a literal Satan, then what was created for their final keeping as the lake of fire can not be real according to your thinking.

    You are presenting a response based upon a hypothetical in which you are attempting to prove a belief wrong.

    Such does not help your argument.

    Besides, he will do it himself during the tribulation time - which if I recall you reject as anything other than some fanciful picture and not a literal time yet to come.

    oh but I do believe in Satan(Adversary) and the lake of fire and its true purpose and Christ and what he accomplished with his own blood and death and resurrection and ascension and in his coming back again.

    Just because you cant see it brother----doesn't mean everyone that doesn't have the same belief as you is wrong or is not of God :love2::love2:

    Your soul is in danger if you find yourself denying clear biblical truth.
