Is Satan Real?

[goodlife]

What do you think, satan is not real,he is just symbolic.

Or satan exists,but he has little interest in mankind.

Or satan is a powerful spirit creature who exerts great influence on mankind.

Because each has its supporters.

Yes, Satan is real.
I was married to him briefly in my youth, until he ran off with my best friend.
I still miss her.

//Is Satan Real?// about as real as God, the Easter Bunny and unicorns!

[goodlife]

Well because truth originates with God and lies originate with Satan, it follows that all doctrine and teachings of men that are contrary to the Word of God are false teachings.

If such doctrines or teachings tend to do injury to others, then such doctrines or teachings are lies.

The Word of God is true and that is our measuring rod. What is contrary to the Word of God is a lie and it proceeds from the Devil.

True christians do not believe things merely because they are said or printed, but must judge what are true by their conformity to the Scriptures. (Matt 4:10)

Then only we keep ourselves free from every form of wickedness, including lying.

Goodlife, you do amuse me sometimes!! :-)

Goodlife, //The Word of God is true...//

No it isn't. You claim to know your bible, so I've no need to tell you where you can find God's clear confession that he deceives people.

The Bible's entire basis is that it was said and printed. It has nothing more than the unsubstantiated claim that its contents come from a deity for which there is precisely zero evidence.

Science does not accept "said and printed" as sufficient. It demands results that can be reproduced. This is why every advance in modern society is built upon science while those who build their philosophy on scripture continue to wallow in profound ignorance and immorality.

But surely there must be some weight in the tablets of stone that Moses carried down from the mountain?

[vulcan42]

Oh? So what are you doing using the internet? It's not mentioned in the bible, so it must be the devil's work, surely?

[goodlife]

I see what a divided world we have! You see people in all parts of the earth, that if you take any of the world news.

Has it brought about any unity, peace or happiness in this divided world today. This is true also of religion. Whether pagan or so-called “Christian,” it is one of the greatest forces to separate people, so would it surprise you, then, that the Devil would father some whopping lies to hide his real identity.

[naomi24]

Who do you think he is, Goodlife?

[goodlife]

Well ebola is winning the race,against the world, is that good news for you.

[naomi24]

Ebola isn't good news for anyone, but since God created everything, allegedly - Satan included - one has no alternative but to conclude that God is responsible for Ebola too. No?

[goodlife]

And show how much you know the Bible than.

[vulcan42]

\\ Well obvious you don't know the Bible.//
\\ And show how much you know the Bible than.//
\\That because you don't know the Bible,simple for some.//
goodlfe, are you trying to tell us something? :^)

[goodlife]

Nope you know it all.

[goodlife]

//two stones at least//

[vulcan42]

If we know it all why do you keep telling us we don't?
