lol. My "spewing Scripture" is worse than your lack of understanding?
I don't think so.
Now, if you want me to tell you how precisely either Lucifer or God intervenes actively in my life, I’d have to tell you, “I don’t know.”
Goodness, you don't? You don't know how God intervenes in your life? You really need to read the Bible more often.
" But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear" -- 1 Peter 3:15
The reason for the hope that is in me is that God has graced me with faith in His Son and has given me a new heart with which to understand that His sacrifice has paid for my sins in full.
And that merciful knowledge which has been made known to me by the Holy Spirit through the word of God colors every moment of my life for the better.
You reduce the selfless act of Christ’s Crucifixion to something just this side of a lottery
A lottery implies chance. There is no "chance" in life. There is only God and His perfect will, one way or another. Do we understand this fully? Nope. But that inability on our part to understand completely should not negate the very attributes that make up the Triune God.
Bottom Line: Satan rules earth. I don’t get that, but I’m ABSOLUTELY CONVINCED of it.
Well, you may think Satan rules your life, but thankfully, he sure doesn't rule my life. Christ is King today on earth as well as in heaven.
I’ve seen your interpretation of Scripture, and it leaves room for honest questions.
Then go back to Scripture and find those answers. Whatever answers exist on earth are found within the pages of God's word.
You can’t have it both ways.
Either you are saved or condemned, in your world, and that was predestined. That’s a lottery, and that’s fate, not faith.
Your answers are bereft of both meekness AND fear. I didn’t see the angel rending the curtain of the temple when Christ died. THAT overt interaction is something I don’t see in my life.
Do I see God in millions of subtle things in my life, unquestionably.
I have a simple and ready answer for any who ask about God, but in your world, it’s a total crap shoot.
Either you got the ticket or you didn’t, and nothing can change that. In fact, those with the ticket may are may not come to God, but the condemned are toast. You’ll just eventually come to Christ eventually, but those condemned just never will, and there was no hope for them anyway.
While I’m sure of being saved, and the elegant simplicity of Christ’s act, on all other matters having to do with how God, the angels, demons, and the Devil work, YES, I’d have to say that even exorcists are unclear on this matter.
So, where do you stand? Are we all simply looking to see if the ticket has been taped to the bottom of our chairs, or can any human be saved?
I’d be AWFULLY AFRAID of my answer to that question, and EXCEEDINGLY MEEK in crafting a response.
