God And Satan: Are They Doing A Good Job?

[jonny]

If I am not mistaken this scripture points to the belief of the 1000 year peace that God is going to enforce only to unleash the devil to “employ” him again to mislead the true believers. If Satan didn’t do a good job the first time why hire him again?

I've always been under the impression that people will continue to have and raise children during the millenium. I guess I've always felt that this last "unleashing" of Satan is more of a test for those who did not live at a time when he was able to influence them.

To the skeptic, I would recommend: www.skepticsannotatedbible.com. Please read with an open mind and try not to convince yourself that the web page is of the devil. This is an interesting read, and tries to point out the contradictions and other errancy in the Bible albeit in a sometimes satirical or humorous way. To me, if the Bible fails to stand up to critical examination, the whole Judeo/Christian belief is void.

Interesting site. However as I am certainly not a 'Sola Scritura' type, it changes nothing about my Faith............



I hope you'll like it here, and I look forward to seeing your posts.

If the worst thing Satan did to us was makes us eat from the tree of KNOWLEDGE, I really don't mind.

Satan and God are excuses used by infantile, weak-minded people who are too pathetic to find meaning in their own lives.

Wow, summed up all my beliefs there! lol, maybe it's listening to Bill Hicks' comedy albums on loop that does it...

Not sure what its meant by sola scritura? Do you mean sola scriptura perhaps? And if by that you mean: "the only infallible rule for deciding issues of faith and practices that involve doctrines," then I don't see what that has to do with the website I posted. I used that link to invite people to question aspects of their judeo/chrisitan faith, for I believe blind faith is limiting and sometimes dangerous. I also contend that not all are ready to be challenged.
