Yeah, the devil is the bad guy.

The Bible tells us these 2 things.

1) The thief comes to steal, kill and destroy.
(the thief being referred to is the devil.) Twisted Evil

2) At the moment we don't see things clearly.
(on earth we are looking through darkened glass... ) Rolling Eyes

Have a good day and don't let the devil spoil it! Evil or Very Mad

Love to all, Ken

I figure there's a good chance that this is a reply to my post about tony snow. And though it's likely best that I not respond, I think it's important to point out that you have NO IDEA WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.

Give the old testament a read over, and you'll hear about a jealous and vengeful god, and a whole heck of a lot of death.

BTW, your post goes directly to proving my point, so thank you.

The Old Testament points to the coming of Jesus.

"The New is in the Old contained, the Old is in the New revealed."
The Old Testament should be read looking through New Testament eye's.

The OT should read through Jesus glasses, and not just by itself.

Jesus said that he had fulfilled the law and the prophets. It is still the word of God and is an example to us, but now we are in a new era.

We can all be called son's(and daughters) of God by adoption, and he gives good things to His children.

Sorry to ruin your day, but God is a woman. It has to be, for an explanation, look at the Korean flag.

In the earliest books of the Bible by date (with the exception of Job), it's hard to find a devil character. That's mostly because the ancient Hebrews, when they were not being polytheistic, viewed God as the author of everything, good and evil. There does seem to be some sort of adversary in some OT texts though, though he was certainly not as defined as the NT Satan.

For Christianity to have any power of its adherents, their has to be a dichotomy. Good vs. evil; God vs. Satan. For most people, religion just isn't interesting unless there's a good fight.

Peace

The pharasee's followed many many rules, some given by God, so to be more righteous than that; you need to follow the Holy Spirit which is within every born-again Christian.

The devotion to follow and obey the Holy Spirit, and stay away from sin, is not for any Church to do; but it is up to the individual and their personal relationhship with Jesus and Father God.

Some Christians, myself included, take 2 steps forward 3 steps back at times. If we draw near to God, turn from sin, He will draw near to us.

All the commands of God are summed up by, LOVE your neighbour, and honour others more than you.

Matttew 22v 36-40 is Jesus explaining about the law & commandments.

v36 "Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?"
Jesus replied: "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind." This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: "Love your neighbour as yourself.
v40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments."

By living a life of love you don't have to worry about breaking any commandments, because your aim is a life of love and not to steal or covet or anything sinful.

Devoting yourself to leading a life of love is not as demanding as following many laws.

1st John 4v16.5
.... God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him.

If we are asked to live in love, it is not an impossible thing. It is central to the kingdom of God and the believers life.

Love to all,
Ken
