  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

How do you know Satan exists?

What if I told you to remove from your mind that Satan is this "Incarnate of Evil", would you call me crazy? Maybe some might. But let me help you here a moment.

Satan is not a God, he not an Incarnate, he is a fallen Angel.

However, Satan is the antagonist of God, and in a simple way, Satan knows he can not get back to Heaven, but is still, not the "Almighty Evil One" Only God is the Almighty (Anything). Satan wants us to fall short of the Kingdom of Heaven, because Satan himself fell short of the Kingdom of Heaven. It would be best looked at like:

Misery loves Company.

If Satan can convince us to remove ourselves from God, then he passes along his own failure, his own loss to us, Gods creation.

And because, we are allowed to enter the Kingdom of Heaven, Satan is bitter about that, (Wouldn't you be?).

So, if you look at Satan like someone just trying to drag others down with him, it makes much more sense, then to look at Satan like some "Incarnate of Evil"

I hope I have answered this question for you.

If Not, please feel free to ask any more on this subject that is necessary.

God Bless
