All authority

[Grip Docility]

I wouldn’t put it that way, but okay.

How would you put it?

 

[HopeSings]

And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to keep all that I commanded you; and behold, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”
— Matthew 28:18-20

Hopefully this clears up the confusion that Satan is currently running things.

Satan runs the world. Scripture says so. Jesus gave me authority over myself

Because this is so, we see that God waits for us to pass authority over ourselves, to Him. We surrender to the Good Shepherd out of recognized need for Him. It's the only thing that we have to give. That is Bold Faith... yet

1 John 4:18 There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love. 19 We love because He first loved us.

I myself never claimed to be perfect. Paul was weak with great fear and trembling. The godless have no fear.

Yes. There is plenty of room I think.

Psalm 16:5 You, Lord, are all I have, and you give me all I need; my future is in your hands.​

6 How wonderful are your gifts to me; how good they are!​

7 I praise the Lord, because he guides me, and in the night my conscience warns me.​

8 I am always aware of the Lord's presence; he is near, and nothing can shake me.​

9 And so I am thankful and glad, and I feel completely secure,​

10 because you protect me from the power of death. I have served you faithfully, and you will not abandon me to the world of the dead.​

11 You will show me the path that leads to life; your presence fills me with joy and brings me pleasure forever.​

Amen. Plenty of room my friend.

Psalm 18:19 He also brought me out into a broad place; He delivered me because He delighted in me.

How would you put it?

That God ordains all things that come to pass.

How can Jesus give you authority if Satan is running all things?

How did the apostles authority work out? It got them killed and abused. Satan runs this world.

Jesus says otherwise. I’m going with Jesus.

John 14:30 I will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming, and he has nothing in Me.

 

[HopeSings]

Jesus says otherwise. I’m going with Jesus.

Jesus said that the the apostles didn't die in their body? You know he didn't say that so why were they killed?

God ordained my daughter to be raped at 7 years old?

 

[HopeSings]

God ordained my daughter to be raped at 7 years old?

My wife suffered that way too. Many people probably do. This world is like revelation 18. Its a cage for unclean birds. People think its a lovely place however where we live like kings and queens happily ever after. Their church doesn't teach them properly in my opinion

 

[Hammster]

John 14:30 I will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming, and he has nothing in Me.

See Matthew 28:18.

 

[Hammster]

For going against the world system.

I’ll answer you by asking a question. What was the greater injustice…the rape of your daughter (which is horrible), or the crucifixion of Jesus?

Hopefully this clears up the confusion that Satan is currently running things.

If the "god of this world" who is Satan, was not running this world System, then Jesus would not have told the Christians to "be not of it".

If SATAN was not running this world system, then Israel would not be trying to stay alive, this very day.

If Satan was not the god of this world..... then cancer would not exist, hatred would not exist, rape, incest, murder, greed, envy, ISLAM, HAMAS..... and WAR would not exist.
