celestialAgent: God is the judge and law. if he did not cast out Lucifer, will there still be any that keep the law with fear? you must have fear to keep the law |

0b100100111:.your reasoning has been reduced by unbelief. is the law and constitution not what each state uses to control people? is religion not free will? how then you assume religion as the law or compare both |

walls01:If he, God had forgiven lucifer and cleansed his mind, there will be no need for the instilling law because lucifer who now seem to be the omnipotence of sin would be just another righteous angel leaving supposed sinners with no mentor and vim. So judging from the logical aspect of the Bible, it is a sin to forgive your enemy since God won't and we are said to have been made in his image to emulate his doings. |

celestialAgent: God is the judge and gave all creature the opportunity to change. going by the countless numbers of falling angels you will conclude that devil was given more than enough time to change. know also God cannot force any of his creature that he create to have free will that will corrupt the system like in computer virus, but will remove the virus by force in other to clean the system |

psucc: You are mixing things up. When the occult attack you, then you will understand the difference between PHYSICAL ENEMY and SPIRITUAL AGENT. Just one question for you: show me one scripture that suggest ever so slightly that God has forgiven Lucifer? |

celestialAgent: Dude what are you talking about? This is why there is a lot of division in the church, suspicion among family members and the church is no longer being a light to the world. Almosr every religuiis person thinks that the person that looked at them somehow in the church is an "agent of the enemy". So instead of the children of the most high to be living in love, joy and peace they are bound by fear, hatred of there fellow man and paranoia that someone from the village is out to get them. |

Chidonc: Change might be constant but God never changes bro. Heaven and earth might pass way but his word never changes. Besides, if you think that things are bad today as they were back then then you must not know your history. The jews at this time were under Roman oppression. If you think Buhari or Abacha was bad then go and try Caesar. As rebellious as Israel was during Roman rule the Romans use to ruthlessly deal with them so do not even try to compare 21st century democracy to Roman occupation. What you need is the helper to empower you to live as Christ wants you to. Trying to do otherwise will lease to failure and frustration. Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away. - Matt 24:35 |

Generalyemi: You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect. Matt 5:43 - 48 |

davidif:At the bolded, after making those edifices mutually beneficial here on earth, is it said/expected to be the same after life? Why do we have heaven and hell? Why was it stated that the current hell is just a preamble, the lake of fire is the main home of lucifer and his folowers after the judgment day? Are the unrighteous not Gods enemy - I mean people who destroy Gods work for their earthly benefits? You might want to just say they are just unrighteous and not enemy. Why can't God just grant them unsolicited forgiveness since we are meant to love and forgive our enemies? You know like God making the heaven readily available for a fellow who cut off a woman's vigin.a for money ritual? I guess you would expect the victim to just forgive when God made it clear in his word that such crimes carry heavy consequences. |
Re: 5 Bible Verses That Will Teach You To Love Your Enemies In Spite Of Everything by celestialAgent(m): 7:34am On Aug 07, 2017 |
davidif:We are not talking about suspicion here. we are talking about a CONFIRMED enemy. |
Re: 5 Bible Verses That Will Teach You To Love Your Enemies In Spite Of Everything by celestialAgent(m): 7:39am On Aug 07, 2017 |
walls01:At the bolded, I guess it is normal to forgive an enemy who cuts your left hand, and going back to hating and casting him into hell when he comes back to cut your right hand? Read my scenarios in the comments above. |

celestialAgent: Dude, I was in church sometime ago and a woman lashed out at a man that brushed against her. She asked him if "they sent him" or something stupid like that. If you think I am lying, I know someone who gets scared and starts binding when she comes across multiple people wearing red or black in church. Can you imagine? And she is uber religious o. |

Chidonc: So God should change his words for you right? Gotcha. |
Re: 5 Bible Verses That Will Teach You To Love Your Enemies In Spite Of Everything by davidif: 2:02pm On Aug 07, 2017 |
celestialAgent: Just know that whenever you open your mouth to pray for your enemy to die that if God were to bring his own judgement on you. You would most likely not last. |

davidif:Hold up man, I'm not Gods enemy. That am a sinner does not mean I have some intentions to hurt God. So please go check what it means to be an enemy before spilling shlt. And one thing you should correct is your attitude towards argument. You don't just make a u-turn to personify a general discussion. If you cannot affirm your opinion with GENERAL facts, then chicken out. |

davidif:any way you seem to understand it , but what I know is Times have change and people have changed with it, isreali -Pakistan war is a pure example |
Re: 5 Bible Verses That Will Teach You To Love Your Enemies In Spite Of Everything by celestialAgent(m): 2:40pm On Aug 07, 2017 |
davidif:Too bad that what our environment has turned into. A circumstantial negative occurrence does not automatically make one an enemy to someone. But talk about a real enemy, say like a rapist, kidnapper, backbiter and the likes should not be forgiven easily. |
Re: 5 Bible Verses That Will Teach You To Love Your Enemies In Spite Of Everything by davidif: 3:10pm On Aug 07, 2017 |
Chidonc: First of all, there was never an Israeli Pakistan war so I don't know what you are talking about? Secondly, people have not changed and even if they are, they are much more civilized than.they used to be. The Romans were a very brutal and ruthless peope and they occupied Israel during The time of Jesus so if you think people are better today than they were 2000 years ago you are deluded. |
