Dear Christians, How Did The Devil Steal, Kill And Destroy? by MonsieurCoder: 11:20pm On Nov 05, 2013 |
Please i am a little confused here, i used to be of the opinion that satan was the evil one, but i can't seem to find any bible passages to back up my claim, on the other hand yahweh has been the one doing the killing, stealing and destroying. "Now therefore, kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman who has known man by lying with him. But all the young girls who have not known man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves." (Moses - Numbers 31:17) "And the LORD said unto me, 'Fear him not: for I will deliver him, and all his people, and his land, into thy hand; and thou shalt do unto him as thou didst unto Sihon king of the Amorites, which dwelt at Heshbon'....... And we utterly destroyed them, as we did unto Sihon king of Heshbon, utterly destroying the men, women, and children, of every city." (Deuteronomy 3:2-6) "This is what the LORD says: Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have; do not spare them, but kill both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass ....' And Saul ... utterly destroyed all the people with the edge of the sword." (1 Samuel 15:3,7- "Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds. And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works." (Jesus - Revelation 2:22-23) |

Update yourself Bro. The old testament is all about the Jewish God Yahweh and is a lesson for us Christians in this new dispensation on how willing The New Testament God 'Jesus Papa' is willing to fight and protect those He loves. The Old Testament shouldn't be taken literally, at least the parts that don't make sense. Nobody really died. |

MonsieurCoder:Erm, read the verse in context. Revelations 2: 18 “To the angel of the church in Thyatira write: These are the words of the Son of God, whose eyes are like blazing fire and whose feet are like burnished bronze. 19 I know your deeds, your love and faith, your service and perseverance, and that you are now doing more than you did at first. 20 Nevertheless, I have this against you: You tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophet. By her teaching she misleads my servants into sexual immorality and the eating of food sacrificed to idols. 21 I have given her time to repent of her immorality, but she is unwilling. 22 So I will cast her on a bed of suffering, and I will make those who commit adultery with her suffer intensely, unless they repent of her ways. 23 I will strike her children dead. Then all the churches will know that I am he who searches hearts and minds, and I will repay each of you according to your deeds. 24 Now I say to the rest of you in Thyatira, to you who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned Satan’s so-called deep secrets, ‘I will not impose any other burden on you, 25 except to hold on to what you have until I come.’26 To the one who is victorious and does my will to the end, I will give authority over the nations— 27 that one ‘will rule them with an iron scepter and will dash them to pieces like pottery’—just as I have received authority from my Father. 28 I will also give that one the morning star. 29 Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches. Recompense Bro meted out by J-Baba the Christ. |

And No one has addressed the main issue, How did the devil steal, kill and destroy?, when yahweh did most of the killing, stealing, destroying and even worse. |

MonsieurCoder:Well, you'll have to define innocence then. A young girl gets pregnant and drops the kid in the dustbin. Is the kid innocent? No one's innocent in the sense that we're all affected by someone else's decision one way or the other, just as we share similar genes with our forebears. |
