  • 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

God created all things; God makes all things new. Keep this in mind as you read.
The ancient Egyptian sky-goddess, one of the Ennead of Heliopolos. She is the personification of the sky and of the heavens, the daughter of Shu and Tefnut.
As sky-goddess Nut was portrayed as a naked woman covered with painted stars, held up by Shu. Thus she forms the firmament above her husband Seb, the earth. Her fingers and toes were believed to touch the four cardinal points or directions. [Four winds of the earth]The principal sanctuary of Nut was at Heliopolis. In the death cult she plays a part in the resurrection of the dead; she is portrayed on the inside of the lids of the sarcophagi. The pharaoh was said to enter her body after death, from which he would later be resurrected.
It was said that Re traveled each day in his solar barque through the sky, starting in the morning. At night, Re journeyed through the underworld in another barque. And each night, the monster Apep would try to prevent the sun-god from emerging again: the eternal battle between light and darkness. The gods Seth and Mehen accompanied him and were often depicted defending Re's barque. Others believed that Re could be found at night in the underworld, consoling and giving support to the dead. Re is also the god of the pharaohs and since the fourth dynasty the Egyptian kings styled themselves 'sons of Re'. After death, the monarch was said to ascend into the sky to join the entourage of Re.
Shu (air) and Tefnut (moisture), who in turn engendered the earth-god Geb and the sky-goddess Nut. Re was said to have created humankind from his own tears and the gods Hu and Sia from blood drawn from his own penis.
First, we need to identify who made a Satan/trickster. (Necessitated it by need To act as His purpose for testing). Genesis 3 The snake was more clever than all the wild animals Yahweh Elohim had made.
Son of God (Benai Elohim). Next, we need to know why ALL things ARE of God. Colossians 1 states that, "things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created for him and on account of him." It shows that the Father (invisible God) created all things for the benefit of the Son of God.
Realize that Yahweh made a Satan/trickster (Necessitated it by need To act as His purpose for testing). Job 1:6 One day when the sons of Elohim came to stand in front of Yahweh, a trickster acting as the adversary came along with them.
Remember that Yahweh is the Lord of the Hosts (prince of the Hosts of Heaven). Hosts are humans that HOST a Spirit. The Spirit of the Lord was in Jesus body (Temple). You will see this later. In many places, we note that the trickster is the adversary. We get a hidden clue to this back in Genesis 2 and 3.
Zechariah 3:3 Then he showed me Joshua, the chief priest, standing in front of the Messenger of Yahweh. trickster, acting as an adversary, was standing at Joshua’s right side to accuse him. 2 Yahweh said to Satan, “I, Yahweh, silence you, trickster! I, Yahweh, who has chosen Jerusalem, silence you! Who is your adversary? We often look for someone else to blame--even God. It can be humbling, even humiliating to look in the mirror and see the one who's doing you the most harm. We always have a choice. Sometimes that choice is hard, and we may not like it, but let's recognize that we do have a choice. So...Stop being your own worst enemy.

OP: "WHO is the Prince of the Air?

Ephesians 2:2
in which you formerly walked according to the course of this world (cosmos), according to the "prince of the power of the air", of the (evil) spirit that is now working in the "sons of disobedience".

It is satan/ aka devil / dragon / serpent / Lucifer!!!

Revelation 12:9
And the "great dragon" was thrown down, the "serpent" of old who is called the "devil" and "satan", who deceives the whole world (cosmos) ;
he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels (demons) were thrown down with him.

Huh? First, we need to identify who made a Satan/trickster. (Necessitated it by need To act as His purpose for testing). Genesis 3 The snake was more clever than all the wild animals Yahweh Elohim had made. Yet it cannot be walking around tempting people because of the sentence to crawl on its belly all the rest of its life! Then we need to accept it is sin that dwells in me what Paul says in Romans: Romans 7:16 If, then, I do what I will not to do, I agree with the law that it is good. (17) But now, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me. (19) For the good that I will to do, I do not do; but the evil I will not to do, that I practice. (20) Now if I do what I will not to do, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me. (25) I thank God—through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, with the mind I myself serve the law of God, but with the flesh the law of sin. James is also of the same idea "But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. 15  Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death. 16  Do not err, my beloved brethren. Jas 1:14-16

We get a hidden clue to this back in 2Ch 20:6 And said, O LORD God of our fathers, art not thou God in heaven? and rulest not thou over all the kingdoms of the heathen? and in thine hand is there not power and might, so that none is able to withstand thee? . Deu 32:39 See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand.
Revelation 12:9 And the "great dragon" was thrown down, the "serpent" of old who is called the "devil" and "satan", who deceives the whole world (cosmos) ; he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels (demons) were thrown down with him.
Please read Rev 1:1 that is written in the FUTURE TENSE not the PAST! Rev 1:1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John: Rev 4:1 After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.
Isaiah 14:12 addresses the conquered king of Babylon as Lucifer “How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning!” This verse was interpreted by early Christians as referring to Satan. The name originally refers to the planet we call Venus; but because of its use in this verse has come to be connected with the false tradition of Satan’s fall from Heaven.
Isa 14:12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Hillel , son of the nm. morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! The name is a cognate of the Hebrew word Shachar (שחר) meaning dawn. Thus the ha-Satan doctrine is one of the most deceptive and corrupt doctrines to ever enter Christendom, and which has been embraced and promoted by false teachers for thousands of years.
Job says that all the evil which the LORD had brought upon him
Job 42:11 Then came there unto him all his brethren, and all his sisters, and all they that had been of his acquaintance before, and did eat bread with him in his house: and they bemoaned him, and comforted him over all the evil that the LORD had brought upon him

In the Aρocrypha, the old Hebrew notion of Jehovah's angels who allot disaster occurs not partially, and in the case mishap over takes the enemies of the pious, the angels are alluded to as Auxiliaries and friends of the latter (2 Μacc. 15, 23 sq.), although we may search in vain such passages for a single mention of daemons.
There is no unambiguous reference to the Devil in the Torah, the Prophets, or the Writings. Carus P. History of the Devil and the Idea of Evil
Sir Isaac Newton laid the blame for the rise of the pagan doctrines about demons in the Church Later than Muggleton, but earlier than Bekker, Newton came to the same conclusion as both of them – that the devil in Scripture was never the supernatural evil being of ‘orthodox’ theology, and that all temptation comes from the lust of the heart:
