Topic: who rules this world?? | |
---|---|
Jesus never doubted that Satan is the ruler of this world. Satan showed
Jesus all the kingdoms of the world. He then promised Jesus, " All these things I will give you if you fall down and worship me". (Matthew 4:8-9, Luke 4:5,6.)THINK ABOUT THIS.. would this offer to Jesus ben possible if Satan is not the ruler of these Kingdoms? Jesua did not deny tht satan was the ruler of these worldly governments. Surely Jesus would have done this if Satan was not the power behind them. oF COURSE, Jehova God is the creatoe of this world, and the entire universe. ( revelation 4:11) yet nowhere does the bible say that either God or Jesus is currently the ruler of this world. In Fact, Jesus refered to Satan as " the ruler of this world". (John 12:31, 14: 30, 16:11) The bible refers to satan as "the god of this system of things." (2 corinthians 4:3,4) Regarding the opposer, or satan, John wrote"the whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one" 1 John 5:19 tomorows post will be "How satans world will be removed." |

PART 2- How Satans worls will be removed.
The world is becoming more and more dangerous. It is overrun with warring armies, dishonest politicians, hypocritial religious leaders, and hardened criminals. The worls as a whole sema beyond reform. Th bible reveals that a time is comming when God will eliminate the wicked of the world during his war of Armageddon. This will set the stage for a righteous new world.- Revelation 16: 14-16. Jehova God selected Jesus to be the ruler of this kingdom, or Heavenly Government. Long ago, the Bible foretold: "unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the governments will be upon his shoulder: and he shall be called the prince of peace. Of the increase of this government and peace there shall be no end." (Isiah 9: 6,7) Regarding this new Government , Jesus taught his followers to pray: "Let your kingdom come. let you take yor place as in heaven also as on the earth." (Matthew 6:10) Just as the bible shows, Gods kingdom will soon remove all the worldly governments, and itself replace all of them with a perfect Godly system. (Daniel 2:44) Gods Kindgon will usher in an earthly paradise. Deuteronomy 28 shows the joys and benefits of following Gods laws, and the result of following our own way. I would suggest reading this chapter, it is quite illuminating, and as true in our time as when it was written. I think the botom line is this: We as a society and as a people have failed to follow Gods laws and teachings, and our mess its a result of this unwillingness to follow Him, in favor of our own, destructive courses of action. The enitre Old testament is chocked full of examples of societies and people who at first followed Gods laws, Then once blessed and fattened fell away, and soon faced destruction. Guess what... were next. |

Rambill, you do realize that Christianity and the bible that comes with
it is pre-dated by pagan faiths by about 30,000 years - right? Satan was not referred to in ANY literature previous to Christianity. Interesting theories though. Have you ever studied "outside" of the box? Just curious. No offense intended Rambill. I am non-Christian not anti-Christian. I am not anti-any religion. |

I have studied mose every religion and belief on the block. What I see
in the bible is God is gOD OF ACTION. hE DOES THINGS ALL THE TIME. These other belief systems are for inner growth, ect but the God of the bible interacts with the people, and not always with the devout either. I have witnessed with my own eyes prayers answered within minutes of the prayer. There is simply no other belief system that can claim that. I have been in a hopeless situation and prayed, and within minutes i was covered with an inner peace. A voice said to me dont worry Im driving, and this was followed by the most impossible things hapening that were totally out of my control. These expierences show me, along with scientific evidence that there is in fact one true God. There is also satan. The bible says quite clearly that anything that is not of christ is in fact antichrist. There is a lot of truth in all these other beliefs, but think of this... if i gave you a glass that was 98 percent orange juice and 2 percent poison, would you consider this good enough to drink???? I am looking for 100% truth and the only place i have found it is in the bible. |

...you might wanna put that swastica away if you want anyone to take
you seriously.... |

Thanks Ghost. Once again you leaving me laughing my ass off. I have told
Rambill before in this and other threads, you can voice your opinions without pissing off everyone that may believe differently. Thanks again for your input. You and I are alot alike - we like to make people think AND we like to argue intelligently. I guess "God" almighty wrote the bible because there were people on this earth to give birth to Jesus Christ and that is historical fact! Rambill, not all literature on any subject out there is necessarily factual in nature. Even in my faith. Too much left to human interpretation. Even the King James bible has been rehashed by people over the years so what do you follow? The original was in Arameic and I have yet to see that one. |

And Ghost is correct on the swastika as well. Symbols have only the
meaning that an individual assigns to it. |

Actually the origional bible texts are in Hebrew and Greek, and I
have both. As I have said before, Various interpetations are slightly different. A good example in the KJV is Thou shalt not Kill. A better interpetation would be Thou shalt not murder. I am aware of these differences and find them for the most part to be all blown out of poroprtion by the new age types who would like to make the Bible into just another book. Thier goal is to discredit the Bible of course. The book has however stood the test of time. |

Would love to see the one alledgedly written with Jesus' own hand in
ARAMEIC. That is the one all of the others have been derivated from Rambill. Sorry - must once again disagree with your theological perspective. Of course all those years of college were a waste of time for me - right? I did major in Sociology of Religion. |

satan definitely rules the world with all of his influences of greed,
temptation and pettiness but christianity is set up in a way that gives him power until the christians take it back and that will not happen til jesus returns. just my opinion but the world thrives on evil and i don't think there are many truly good people left because they can preach all they want but until they are really put in a position that tests their faith and their resolve they will never truly understand how inheritantly wicked that the world and the people that live here are.....i've said it before and i believe it to be true but "HEAVEN IS NOT OVERCROWDED" |

And by the way Rambill, my goal as a Wiccan is not to discredit the
bible. We KNOW that Jesus Christ was on this earth. We simply disagree that he is the son of a living God. He was, however, a wise teacher and that I will never dispute. The bible has a great deal of good in it as does the torah, the koran, and many, many, other publications that are out there. |

i didn't know that about the wiccan faith poolpro. have you ever noticed
that there are alot of faiths and they all share major similarities but the main dispute is that christianity that jesus was the son of GOD. in most of them the story is basically the same with one difference in the role of one man. |
