And because of the fierce belief in and fear of the Devil, he lives in the hearts of Christians and Muslims and all those who believe in him. An entity only has as much power as you give him, a book has only as much truth as you believe it does. The bible is just another graven image before god. If you want to know the truth go to the source. You can have a personal relationship with god. You do not need intermediaries. The bible, priests, ministers and popes are just intermediaries who keep you mesmerized and out of contact with your creator.

If you don't have the Devil you haven't liveD

Good one. They are terrified of the devil because they are terrified of life. There are tons of thou shalt nots but almost no thou shalls (except you shall kiss the holy butt on a daily basis).
And wing nuts are useful so give bluedog and herald their due, eh!

I used to serve the Devil, but there is no life there.

Those who serve the Devil will be cast with him into the lake of fire and be destroyed, while the Christians have eternal life.

It is plain that you work for satan herald and it is plainer still that he has blinded you to your low station and your easily won deserts. There is no devine spirit present in promising others the lake of fire simply because they do not adhere to the modern christian fashion of self congradulation and false adulation of the veneer of the devine. One may spend every minute of ones life in the christian temples and never for a minute be aware of the spirit. A box of turds labeled chocolates does not candy make.:smile: peace unto your wretched family

You will find out at The Judgment, when the Lord casts you into the lake of fire and you will be destroyed.

In the Divine Poemander of Hermes Trismegistus, Book II, we find the following: "My thoughts beingonce seriously busied about the things that be, and my understanding lifted up—all my bodily senses being utterly holden back; methought I saw one of an exceedingly great stature and infinite greatness call me by name, and say to me. What wouldst thou understand to learn and know? Then said I, Who art thou? I am, quoth he, Poemander, the Mind of the Great Lord, the most mighty and absolute Emperor. I know what thou wouldst have, and I am always present with thee . . . I am that Light, the Mind, thy God, who am before the moist nature that appeareth out of the darkness, and that bright and lightful Word from the Mind is the Son of God. How is that? quoth I. Thus, replied he, understand it. That which, in thee, seeth and heareth the Word of the Lord, and the Mind, the Father, God, differ not from one another, and the union of these is life . . . I, the mind, come into men that are holy and good and pure and merciful, and that live piously and religiously, and my presence is a help unto them ; and forthwith they know all things."

You are a very poor PR guy for a loving and benevolent god. In fact you turn people off to religion altogether. I think if anybody's ass is going to get fried it will be yours.

I always have the devil in me, the same devil over and over. Thank god I only believe in the one devil, he's 6.4" 160kgs and my husband. Cute too, ha!

On a serious note, if there is a god there has to be a devil and vice versa. I neither believe nor disbelieve, guess I'll sit on the fence.

I believe in life after death, spiritualism

Life after death? Maybe.... I want to be cremated and my ashes mixed in equal measure with a/ well-aged manure and b/ peat moss into which will be planted one healthy sprig of Nothern Ontario ice ... then in a few months, all my friends can have their last toot on me....

in revelation12:9 it says he decieves the whole world. deception is his greatest tool in his war arsenal against God and truth. insidious is deception for the one being decieved does not realize this fact. what is even more cunning the very tool that will unmasked deception he has caused people to lighly regard. 2thes2:9-11 states that those who love the truth that is found in the bible will not be deceived. his tatics will be left naked to those who take God at his word.
that why he is why he works so diligently to depreciate the bible

do I have to be a christian to post in this forum? What is a christian exactly? Just another word for a "religious person"? Woopsies.... if I'm wrong...

If I believe there is a devil does that make me a follower? Surely not
I believe there is a god but I don't preach :)
