"That through death He might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil." Three things here claim attention: First , what is meant by the Devil having "the power of death"? Second , what "death" is here in view? Third , in what sense has Christ "destroyed" the Devil? From the...

In the broader view of John 8, there are imposters of the faith all around us, false teachers. They are not of God, they are of their father the devil.

They could not hear, they would not hear, and I have explained why. Christ was showing up the Pharisees for who they were, frauds, not interested in the things of God, which was standing right in front of them. They did not hear because they were not of God, they were imposters of God's...

Jesus Christ tells us who hears the word of God Jn 847 otherwise you can not hear Jn 8:43. That's why they don't desire the things of God . You can't desire what you can't desire

Which demonstrates their enslavement to sin. Only the Son can free them from it. John 8:34-36 (ESV) Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, everyone who sins is a slave to sin. Now a slave has no permanent place in the family, but a son belongs to it forever. So if the Son sets you free, you...

This is not difficult to understand, once you take the twisting of God's word out the way. Those who created this theory are just as guilty as those Pharisees in John 8.

In John 8:13 we know this conversation was between Christ and the Pharisees. This must be established to understand what is being said to who. Christ tells them they are of their father the devil. Then tells them they will not believe the truth because they are not of God. BF, this means...

By being the children of the devil Christ wasn't going to die for them, Christ died to gather in the children of God Jn 11:50-52 50 Nor consider that it is expedient for us, that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not. 51 And this spake he not of himself: but...

Back up 2 verses to John 8:44, Christ is telling them "you are of your father the devil" truth cannot be understood without faith. They could not hear because they didn't want to hear. Those who want the truth and desire it will receive the truth and they will hear God's words and believe...

No sir, we don’t cherry-pick verses; we look at the whole context. John 6:65 is a restatement of John 6:44. John 6:44 (ESV) No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him. And I will raise him up on the last day. The only way for someone to come to the Son is if the Father has...

Typical diversionary post. Nothing acknowledging agreement or specific disagreement, just another ignore what was said post. To be "of God" is to be of the fields white for harvest. Fallen folks who have the capacity to hear and heed God's word, whereas those not "of God" have closed minds...

According to Jesus who hears God's words Jn 8 :47

Yet another tangent, to be "of God" is to of the fields white for harvest. Fallen folks who have the capacity to hear and heed God's word, whereas those not "of God" have closed minds. If you believe falsehood is true, then the truth will look like falsehood. John 8:47 the "of" translates...

I guess the best answer is the simple answer. 1 And you were dead in your trespasses and sins, 2 in which you formerly walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, of the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience. 3 Among them we...

I have wondered if “murderer from the beginning” goes back even further than Adam and Eve, to the time when Lucifer attempted to usurp the throne of God Almighty. Did he want to kill God?

Ascetic X replied to a thread you are watching at Baptist Christian Forums. Flat-Earth Christians As we can see, the interpretations made through the Jews as above posted through demonic pictures, they have nothing to do with Scriptures were cited, quite the opposite, they have to do with the...

Hebrews 2:14. 'Inasmuch then as the children have partaken of flesh and blood, He Himself likewise shared in the same, that through death He might destroy him who had the power of death, that is, the devil.....' One purpose of the Lord Jesus in coming to the earth is revealed here: the...

What I liked, and agree with, Spurgeon the most on this topic is that the crux of Satan bruising Jesus' heal was Christ's death. I had not considered the ministry as a part of this bruising. I am not sure that that is actually appropriate (Christ suffered as we do, He shared our humanity). I...

If that is what Spurgeon wrote, it is almost exactly what I argued on a previous thread on this subject. It does seem to me to be verging on blasphemous to suggest that Satan killed the Lord Jesus, not to mention being contradicted by a large number of Biblical texts. However, that is not to...

We are all slaves to sin prior to our trusting in God. Or do you think your "elect" are excluded from this? Since we are in Christ through faith and that sets us free from the slavery of sin then indeed He has set us free. Who does God call to Himself? Mat 11:28 Come to Me, all you who are...
