The devil was not cast from heaven because he was jealous of Adam, but rather because he was jealous of God. I think that he was cast out of heaven before Adam was created, but don't quote me on that. As for the toddler, the toddler is filled with a natural curiosity about the match because he...
Sorry, but that's absolutely ridiculous. They were perfectly content in their garden. What they did in their garden might have ended them up in hell, which is certainly the worst punishment. Of course what they did was a sin, otherwise they would not have brought sin into the world, they...
God will not ask you to justify your sins on judgement day. He may or may not ask you why you did it, but bottom line you're not going to be able to repent of your sins before God on judgement day. The penalty for all sins is the same: death. The only sin above other sins is sin against the...
Would you tell me where in the bible it says that angels have no free will? I think it's in there, but I still think that Lucifer made the choice on his own. I seriously would like to know.
God created you and he knows your hearts. He isn't you, but he created you and he knows ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU AND EVERYTHING YOU EVER DID! Read the story about the woman at the well, I believe it's in the beginning of the book of John.
The penalty for sin is death, and God established that rule so Adam and Eve new about it and would hopefully not succumb to temptation. I think you missed my point. Suffering existed before then, obviously the devil felt it when he was cast from heaven.
I agree TOTALLY AND COMPLETELY. He was no scared little boy. He desired power, he elevated himself higher than God. He didn't do what he did out of fear.
And the part after that about Satan fearing you is true as well.
My belief is that if you do not accept Jesus as your Lord and savior, and you don't ask forgiveness for your sins, then you unfortunately go to hell. It sounds harsh, but the bible says that the penalty for sin is death, and that all have sinned and fall short of the glory of god.
If you ask forgiveness for your sins, then the Lord forgives you of all of your sins. Now the bible does say that christians should not associate ourselves with things of the devil, but you are not a devil follower just because you do that stuff. If you are a christian, then you should put God...
Here's what I think: don't believe anything that someone says if it goes against anything in the Bible. It's important to know what the Bible says, because the Bible is the truth. Now someone may say, "well, how do you know that the bible is original? how do you know that everything that it...
Whether or not this particular view is true, as I believe it not to be, do not get away with confessing your sins on Earth just because you will only be in hell for a little while. You may wind up being wrong.
God did not intend for their to be suffering in the world, but when Adam and Eve sinned, death was brought into the world, as the penalty for sin is death. Every human born after that was born into sin... so every human is destined to die. Also, he can't just get rid of the devil because the...
Hell will not be exciting, sorry to disappoint you. Hell will be more pain than you can possibly imagine, and even if it were somehow exciting at first, hell is eternal. And how do you know that heaven will be boring? After 10000 years, even a boring heaven sounds a whole lot better than a...
I only read the first page, so forgive me if someone's already responded by saying this, but I believe that most of what you said will come about during Jesus' second coming. He came the first time to die for us so that we could ask forgiveness of our sins. He will come again, and the world...
