On a broader note, the very idea of Satan as having fallen from "grace" does not seem to be supported by any Scripture that I am aware of. Is there any Scripture that says that God's grace is something that applies to angelic beings?

Just because a given text itself does not explicitly distinguish any significance to sequential actions in an account does not mean that there is no such significance. Scripture even telescopes events in one account that in actuality have been or will be fulfilled at separate times in human...

No, I was not referring back to your post #55. I have not stated my position because I do not have a firm position that I believe can be legitimately supported with Scripture. In my opinion, what I have seen from you does not support the view that you hold. More later, D.V.

Saying, "The story makes no distinction, or emphasis on Satan's over Eve's . . .," does not establish that correctly noting that Satan sinned prior to Eve who sinned prior to Adam is of no importance. Romans 5:12 says that death entered into the world through the sin of Adam--Satan's sin did...

I find it unfathomable how believers could think that Satan and his demons are hardly active at all in our day.

This passage is very sobering because it does not give us any indication that Ananias knew anything about what Satan had done to his heart and directed him to do. Nor does it indicate to us that Satan actually possessed Ananias to bring about what Ananias did. Demon possession is not at all...

Scripture explicitly says that idolatry is the worship of demons and warns us about having fellowship with demons: 1 Corinthians 10:20 But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils...

I can see your point in regard to demon possession, but we need to keep in mind that demon possession is only one aspect of authentic demonic activity. Scripture shows that one lying spirit was able to work in hundreds of false prophets (2 Chron. 18:5-23) to be a lying spirit in their mouths! We...

Satan deceived Eve before she transgressed and ate of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Satan thus sinned against God before there was any human sin. Nonetheless, his doing so did not bring death into the material world. Adam's sin that was subsequent to the sin of Satan...

Yes, combating false doctrine is extremely important. I do not hold to the Gap-Theory in any way. Those comments were made by another person. Romans 5:12 does not apply to Satan and his demons because angelic beings do not die. Genesis 1:31 is certainly true but does it require that...

These other factors are certainly relevant. The accounts that you share are sobering. Thanks for that information. Unfortunately, I have encountered Christians both here on BB and elsewhere who are very skeptical about and dismissive of the notion that much authentic demonic activity takes...

My questions were not intended to express either that there is or there isn't doctrinal or practical significance to this question. I am interested to see if you have anything directly from Scripture that you think pertains to whether there is any such significance. As for guarding against...

Does the Bible teach us the doctrinal or practical importance of determining precisely when Satan's fall was? If so, where and how does it do so?

Why should you come together into one place in God's house on this Lord's Day with the whole church (1 Cor. 14:23)? Because God wants all the church to be edified (1 Cor. 14:3, 5, 12, 26), exhorted (1 Cor. 14:3), and comforted (1 Cor. 14:3, 31)! Because God wants all the church to learn (1...

Scripture plainly records instances of authentic demonic activity in the world. What should Christians therefore believe about the true extent of authentic demonic activity in world history and in our day?
