Featured The Incarnation of Jesus [from Dougcho new member]

What are you ranting about?

 

I wasn't aware that I was ranting. I thought I was explaining the Scripture you posted.

 

Maybe you didn't read what I had actually posted. It omitted ". . . in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. And there are three that bear witness in earth, . . ." And the text I did post, I also referred to John 19:34-35 it cross referenced.

 

There’s no misunderstanding. The ‘big picture’ is given in Revelation 12.

 

From above:
Just as God allows Satan to tempt us to sin, He allowed Satan the same with His Son.
I believe Satan knew exactly what the Cross meant for mankind, and Satan was willing for Christ to do it, but Satan believed he could prevent the resurrection of Christ and stop God's plan of redemption.

Redemption from what? Was Adam created to be redeemed or so that through the redemption of him and his children, the devil, who sinned from the beginning, and the works of the devil, could be destroyed?

Consider 1 John 3:8 and Hebrews 2:14
he who is doing the sin, of the devil he is, because from the beginning the devil doth sin; for this was the Son of God manifested, that he may break up the works of the devil;
Seeing, then, the children have partaken of flesh and blood, he himself also in like manner did take part of the same, that through [the] death he might destroy him having the power of [the] death -- that is, the devil --

Did the devil need destroying of which the following is stated?
And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

What was needed for the destruction of the devil and his works? Was there going to be a need for the Word to be made flesh? Incarnated?
Why?
