Lesson 6 of 43. Salvation, would you be kind enough to post the links to the previous threads. Thank you!
“The world, the Tlesh and the Devil” was a great old ‘20’s Greta Garbo movie. Not to trivialize this topic, which is real and serious, but I can never hear that phrase without thinking of the movie.
Very bad advice...That's like going into the Gulf War armed with ping pong balls...
Why is it the Catholic church will 'use' the scripture when it comes to the existance of angels;
How do you know there are angels?
The Bible mentions angels about three hundred times.
but completely ignore the scripture when it comes to the devil???
Eph 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Eph 6:13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
Eph 6:14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; Eph 6:15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
Eph 6:16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
These are the defensive weapons...And you counter-attack with this one
Eph 6:17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
If you don't have these weapons to fight off the devil, you may end up with the devil leading your congregation on Sunday mornings...
2Co 11:13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.
2Co 11:14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
2Co 11:15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
