Satan is the god of this world, but he's not the god of God. God is in control. His common grace is with the world and his Restrainer is in the world. God is sovereign, even over the hell we live in. God has foreknowledge and everything must pass through his will to come to pass. Satan is...

Yes, but my point was, he likely cannot just willy-nilly possess the unsaved. God's common grace is on the earth. He's still sovereign.

MacArthur sees through the nonsense and feels a calling to push back. The irony is, he's encouraging believers and unbelievers. Many unbelievers are impressed with this courage, which translates to his testimony. BTW, I just found out from someone who attends there that they have still not...

That's quite a scary thought. I don't think it's quite that simple, though. God gives common grace to all. I doubt he gives the devil total freedom on this. The general consensus seems to be that dabbling in the occult opens doors for demonic possession. Regardless, I don't the the devil...

Okay, that's what I thought. Relieved. Yes, it will then go to states and legislatures who can then limit and eliminate abortion in various ways, including making alternatives available, but also through the law. Reversing RvW will have huge impact on abortion. All you have to do is look at...

Meaning it should be legal?

I'm with Atlas. ZING! Hero Dr. Scott Atlas ABSOLUTELY DESTROYS Dr. Fauci and Dr. Redfield after their Ridiculous Attacks (VIDEO)

The question I would have for you then, is why the name was then transferred to animals we know as snake (nachash) in the OT?

Yes, it's essential to setting up the literal scene which involved a literal snake. It has nothing to do with the allegorical prophecy God revealed in verses 14 and 15. By what hermeneutical principle would you deduce this?

That's because the metaphor doesn't start there, it's merely the narrator setting up the scene. The allegory begins when God issues the curse. Sure there is. The devil took a third of heaven with him. Many angels fell. Satan would be the chief. The God proclaims Satan will be brought low...

A big if, but RvW prohibits states from passing laws against abortion. Overturning will enable them to do so. It's a huge step.

The symbolism is very clear. It's a metaphor of Satan's fall. He was brought low, just as the snake was brought low. Snake imagery continues in the next verse, the killing of a snake. Impossible to separate these 2 verses. The pushback on this may from gap theorists who place Satan's fall...

Hmmm. I believe we would still be considered sons of Adam, just not sons of a sinful Adam. We are sons of God by adoption, born again. Had Adam not sinned, we would not have needed to be born again. We are called a "new creation" which is a form of direct creation, which explains the new...

To say this better, both 14 and 15 have a literal aspect addressing the Serpent, and a symbolic aspect addressing the devil. God literally bringing the serpent low in ver 14, symbolizes the Fall of the devil. The devil was brought low at that point. Likewise, literally bruising a snake's...

I believe I get the gist. Robert's didn't want to get in the way of legislation, so twisted the constitution so he could leave it alone. Seems Barrett would not have done that.

Republicans never said this. The precedent rule is, the Senate CAN delay during an election year. It is not mandatory. They have the choice and in 2016 they thought they should wait. Dems have always had the same philosophy. When a Republican is president, they delay, when a dem is...

I agree. I don't like where it's gone. Not what God wants.

God bless you. Hope you come back soon to talk theology. I know you hate me, but I'm not your enemy.

I agree. I will just add, you can't separate verses 14 and 15. Both are dealing with the snake and the devil, one literally, one symbolically.

Indeed. We don't need to deny modern nomenclature, just understand it.
