WHO IS RULING THE WORLD? (A MUST READ)

Many people think that it is the devil that is ruling the world, it is not true, he was when Adam fell by disobedience, but Jesus took that leadership from him through His death, burial and resurrection. Others believe that it is God that is ruling the world. This is also not true. God is not ruling the world, Man is the one ruling the world. God gave the earth to man to have dominion over it, that assignment still stands.

It is true that the devil is the god of this world, 2nd Corinthians 4:4. But this "world" does not mean the earth space as in location, it means worldliness, that is SIN. The devil is the god of worldliness or sin. God owns the earth. Psalm 24:1. But He is not ruling it, He is only ruling the CHURCH.

It appears evil is prevailing on the earth today because there are more evil people than good people. The devil knows that it is man that is ruling the earth, so he manipulates, entices and controls men that have rejected the LORDSHIP of Jesus Christ to cause problems. On the other hand, God expects the church to rule the world. Revelations 5:10. He has made us Kings and Priests that we can reign on the earth. We are the light of the world and the salt of the earth. The only hope for the world today is the CHURCH. Men and Women, boys and girls have to start taking their place. I see the church of Jesus lifted up above every thing on the earth and nations flowing into it in the precious name of Jesus Christ.

The pope!

Women

You are correct, However I would like to -point out the fact that Satan created the world, "World" in this context refers to the system in the world, not earth, thats why people who go against God's commandments are referred to as worldly people. The Bible also says that you are in the world but not of the world.

Sorry sir, this thread at its best is a very laughable & ridiculous one.

I mean, how you manage to misinterpret and catapult some scriptures into this piece has left me befuddled.

Now according to you, the word "world" has got a new definition (please do well to add it in the dictionary), which is "worldliness, i.e, sin".

Really

But looking at Rev. 12:9, we see that "Satan deceives the whole world". So then, according to this new definition of the word "world" as championed by you, can we also correctly paraphrase this understanding in Revelation as "Satan deceives the whole 'worldliness, i.e, deceives sin'"
