Who Lured Satan To Sin? by Bvsteph: 10:51am On Aug 17, 2014
I have always had issues with Faith. It's hard for me to just believe what i cannot see or feel, it's much easier to recoil into doubt and fear. But then the unseen is much more real than what we see, that brings us to the topic. Hebrews 11:6 says," But without faith it is impossible to please Him..." And one of the ways we can please God is by giving our all to him, which means salvation, the question now is, do you have faith because you are saved or are saved because you have faith?


Let's break it down,

1. Is faith inherent in every human being? or Does God give us the faith to believe in Him? Romans 12:3 says:"...I say to everyone among you not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, each according to the measure of faith that God has assigned." So would it be safe to say God assigns a measure of faith to everyone? If that is the case, why are unbelievers at fault if they don't have faith?

2. Do you get faith to be saved? or you get faith because you are saved? Is salvation created by faith or is faith created by salvation?

3. This particular question is kinda out of context. Satan was created pure, before satan there was no satan...if you understand what i mean. Satan is the enemy, the deceiver, the one that lures everyone to sin.....Who lured satan to sin? How did satan become evil?

Really looking forward to reading your thoughts. Thanks

See how you throw caution to the wind just because of your belief, calling those who don't believe "f**ls". How are you better than a fundamentalist?
Now, what wonders? You mean like earthquakes, volcanoes or tsunanis or disease pathogens everywhere?
Problem i have with some folks is their aversion for research and knowledge.
You heard about the Big bang Theory, without even researching into what it proposes yet you just conclude that your belief is the truth.
Anyway, op, this your question just summerizes the point that the concept of God is Man-made.

Interesting. These "fools" have unlocked the secrets to the universe through unbiased thinking and unhindered thought processes. There are fools who believe in God. So being a "fool" is not related to belief in a deity.

You know more than I do I guess wink. Everythig we know today about the modern universe has come off the back of intelligent research, unbiased theoretical analysis, disclosure, critique, constant updates of knowledge based on new research and evidence. Who is responsible for this, all scientists/engineers who actively involved in their field of interest through active research, development of new technology and the application of such technology.

So this would lead to:

Understanding our universe, shape, size, age, constituents (planets, galaxies etc).
Understanding our planet through natural observation, geological, geophysical and other such observations as well as chemical asciences.
Understanding life through the different life sciences, anthropology, zoology and archeology.
Understanding our history, civilizations and the development of man through history and to some extentarcheology.
Understanding mans nature and our relation to society through sociology and psychology.

These processes are what will develop and improve our lives, society and find solutions to our problems. The adherents and contributors to these processes are not fools regardless of belief in a deity or not.

Or what do you reckon cheesy

You see why you need to be reading wide!
Fire, River, Volcano et al are surplus in other uninhabitable planets of space. There is nothing beautiful or special about them, its all about perception.
You are going to hell for calling someone a fool! Read your bible; Matt 5:22.
Again, see your understanding of the Big Bang Theory! Please Read more often. STOP listening to people that listen to other people without reading for themselves.
As far as i can think, its even xtians and religious believers that mostly fall victim to disasters. Do you know how many xtians wait on their God for help that never comes. How many have died in the presence of their God in churches by Boko haram?
Please Big Bang Theory doesn't say life started with a bang by two objects.

Bvsteph: I have always had issues with Faith. It's hard for me to just believe what i cannot see or feel, it's much easier to recoil into doubt and fear. But then the unseen is much more real than what we see.

The bold section seems to contradict the rest of this paragraph. Godly Faith is not blind, it is Faith based on evidence. People believe atoms exist without seeing them, have you seen the electricity that powers your TV. We can't see wind but feel it, same we can perceive God's presence if we have a bigger "antenna" to perceive his existence.


Bvsteph:
Let's break it down,

1. Is faith inherent in every human being? or Does God give us the faith to believe in Him? Romans 12:3 says:"...I say to everyone among you not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, each according to the measure of faith that God has assigned." So would it be safe to say God assigns a measure of faith to everyone? If that is the case, why are unbelievers at fault if they don't have faith?

Every human believe in one thing or the other, but Godly Faith is not inherent in Everyone. The context of Romans 12:3 points to paul address members of the christian congregation not the world's people as a whole. Even people who have faith can lose their faith when temptation and trials prevail. But without faith it is impossible to please God well, because we must first believe that God is (exist) and he is a rewarder of all those fearing him.

Bvsteph:
2. Do you get faith to be saved? or you get faith because you are saved? Is salvation created by faith or is faith created by salvation?

1 Thess 5:9 , 2 Thess 2:13, 2 Timothy 3:15, Roman 10:10, 13-15. Read and Meditate on these scriptures, the answers are there.

Bvsteph:
3. This particular question is kinda out of context. Satan was created pure, before satan there was no satan...if you understand what i mean. Satan is the enemy, the deceiver, the one that lures everyone to sin.....Who lured satan to sin? How did satan become evil?

Really looking forward to reading your thoughts. Thanks

Answer to question number (3): Who lured Satan to sin? How did he become evil? First you must understand what Sin is (Sin- an act that breaks a religious or moral law), then how did Satan sin in the beginning {Satan sinned by Lying to Eve and opposing God's rule- Genesis 3:1-5, he broke God's morals by lying and resisting God hence his new name Satan (Opposer/resister) the Devil (liar/slanderer) } , following which you need to hear how God himself answer this question in Ezekiel 28: 15-17. James 1: 14,15 also answers that question.
