Re: give me understanding according to thy word. amen!!!!
against the rulers
what is it that rules over people?
against the authorities,
how does something get authority over you? dont you have free will?
against the powers of this dark world
think about that. the powers of this dark world. what makes this worlds dark?
John 3:19
And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
where is "the devil" in that? it only mentions jesus and men.
and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
where are the heavenly realms? aka the heights above. whree does jesus say the kingdom, where all this rullership and authority and dark powers take place and exist??????
inside of pepole.
Luke 17:21
People will not be able to say, "Look, here it is!" or "There it is! That is because the kingdom of God is inside you.'
thats why jesus called petere satan. thats why satan "entered" into judas.
where is this mythical creature?
the whole world has been deceived all right. men say that the greates trick the devil ever played on man was to convince him he doesnt exist. thats so stupid. thats never happened. the greatest deception is getting man to think there is a devil besides him so he can blame. there is no "devil made me do it". there is red suit and horns and pointy tail. people wish to god there were and swear to god there is, but its just man, hi screator, and his free will and what he does with it. and he usually chooses to do evil with it. in the presence of an all knowing and all powerful god.
like i said, its stupid.
keep digging in the scriptures. are we told we will find evil in there? the devil in there? satan in there? no, we are told we will find the truth. and life. satan be damned.
