I don’t care what you call him. Call him Lucifer, Satan, the evil one, the Serpent, the False Self, you ego, or whatever, but for God’s sake let’s quit OBSESSING on that which IS NOT in the 4th dimension, and that which has even a little standing in the 3rd dimension- other than what we give him.
Quit blaming this scapegoat that Christians love to empower!
The Devil didn’t make you do it! This illusionary dark figure that bag gucci handbag the church has made almost equally as powerful as God Himself (who created who and what?), get blamed for bag gucci handbag anything and everything. Be responsible for your own crap! Own it bag gucci handbag or quit doing it, but whatever you do, quit taking the bag gucci handbag cheap way out: the way that enables you to turn back to bag gucci handbag your own vomit another day without admitting that it was your bag gucci handbag choice.
Do demons exist! Hell yes!
Are they as responsible for bag gucci handbag the state of the world as we give them credit for? Hell no!
We need to take another look at Isaiah 14 and bag gucci handbag remember the principle set out therein. Pick whatever translation you want, but when bag gucci handbag it comes to verse 16, here’s how I paraphrase it.
Is this pathetic and weak looking the bag gucci handbag spirit that frightened the world, and took up so much unneeded amount of our time worrying about? Why did the CHURCH focus so much of it’s energies on him instead of preaching the GOOD NEWS? Why I ask? Porque?
The church of all things!
Let us REPENT and turn to God; our Father, Spirit, Consciousness, and true BEING!
It is amazing to me that if you walk in modern Churches.
There is tape series after tape series on Lucifer, satan,
the false self, the ego. Hours and hours of work has went
into describing this “whatever you call him.” The truth of
the matter is that the Experience of God, not a concept is
the forefront of Where we are headed. E. Stanley Jones wrote in his book “Abundant Living”, Evil is just a parasite, attached to what is good. Total evil is self-destructive. God created and dwells in all things, not
evil. We need to see that the Linguuistics of the devil
is not the main issue, the linguistics of “Scandalous Grace”
is!
U got it Mark!
I believe that bag gucci handbag since almost the beginning of the religious movement that spawned from bag gucci handbag Christ’s original concept we (people) have bag gucci handbag lacked relationship with God, but substituted said relationship with laws, rules, and bag gucci handbag hoops to jump through. That being the case, it is a bag gucci handbag natural inclination for all of us to find someone to blame for bag gucci handbag our failure at following the law(s). Who better to blame than the arch enemy of all that is good? Darth Satan enters; his mechanized breathing echoing in the large room!
I believe that within spiritual/dimensional levels exist various forms of evil, wickedness, in the bag gucci handbag same way that good spiritual creations of God exist in the bag gucci handbag same manner. It is also possible that these realms, plains, dimensions, or bag gucci handbag whatever, might not have access to each other, just as we have bag gucci handbag no physical access to the spiritual-created world. My theory is a bag gucci handbag reach, but I base it on scriptural inferences and issues of science and bag gucci handbag quantum theory that I find facinating, yet don’t quite get, either.
I said all of that bag gucci handbag to say since we lack a solid understanding of ALL of God’s creation, including the bag gucci handbag good and evil hierarchies of the spiritual world, it is bag gucci handbag natural for man to have assigned to these things metaphors and bag gucci handbag tangible variables we can grasp. Roll that into 2000 years of being off base by way of the bag gucci handbag intent of Christ’s message and we find ourselves mired in possibly 90% myth which we’ve all been bag gucci handbag taught is the absolute truth. Roll that and smoke it.
It is bag gucci handbag my experience that people are like cattle, for the most part; they don’t want to bag gucci handbag think and just want to go with the flow, even if it bag gucci handbag leads to a beef factory. It applies to this (and all of your other) subject(s); people want to bag gucci handbag be spoon-fed some rules and get preached at, but not commit their minds to bag gucci handbag the idea that there is more to it all. It’s too difficult to grasp, so why bother?
I believe that creation (as a whole) tends to bag gucci handbag be repetitive in a simple, yet complexed way at the same time. That being the bag gucci handbag case, since science is continuously discovering that there is more to bag gucci handbag what they thought there was nothing else (even as physics drastically differs between subatomic and quantum stages), it bag gucci handbag is reasonable to believe that the spiritual creations of God are bag gucci handbag equally beautiful, simple, yet complexed.
Man, did I get off the subject?
The only place that you got off is the CATTLE metaphor. We’re SHEEP! Other than that I love it that you’re THINKING man. Let’s be DONE with eating religious spam and denominational refried beans- and let’s get on with the BANQUET that the Spirit has prepared for us.
