The Devil's Nature

-
A snake is made in the image of the devil, similarly to how humans are made in the image of God. This is not to say that any particular snake is the devil, similarly to how not any particular person is God. Just that man is the physical form of God's image on earth. The snake is the image of the devil in a physical form on the planet. 

The devil is defined by pride, perhaps the most cardinal of sins. In his beauty, iniquity was found in him. As he thought to himself he would ascend to God's throne. Consiquently, a third of the angels were deceived in Lucifer's rebellion, in the quest to overthrow God. 

However God is omniscient, the devil is not. He betrayed allegiance to God, and fell. The story of the woman's whose son was being attempted to be eaten by the dragon in revelation, is symbolism to God coming in the flesh as Jesus Christ and the crucifixion culminating in the resurrection.

The devil since doomed could not conceive a holy God could be both just and merciful to sinners. However, because we repented of our ways and he promised Abraham his seed would bless the world. Christ our Savior became both the just and justifier for those that belive. Just, because sin was punished, justifier because grace was given to those who accepted the sacrifice, as God did by raising him from the dead.

The devil is merely a fallen angel but prideful enough to think he could be God. He hates mankind because we are made in the image of God. He wants to be God and uses the same deception on mankind.

We fell into sin because man wanted to be like God, but instead reversed the other of authority. It was God, then Adam, then Eve, then all the beasts in the field. That is why it was through one man sin enter the world, and it was through Christ Jesus that many would be made righteous.

Just like we have holy spirit, God the Father and the son. There is a trinity of evil the devil, the world and our own selfish desires. We must be vigilant for we are all sinners. We are occupied by the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the pride of life. So long as we love our lives more than God, the devil has us in our grip.

The devil tempts us by giving us what we already desire secretly. We fall when we give in to this sin nature but the holy Spirit through our lives sanctities us, and us we fight temptations our faith grows stronger. Jesus said resist the devil and he will flee, this the power bestowed upon believers. We have a spirit of power and not fear.

To summarize briefly the enemy wants to kill, steal and destroy. His time is coming and he will suffer for what he did against God's kingdom and God's children. Us much as he reminds us of our past, his future is bleak, he has no chance of salvation.

God's Incarnation.

The one God from without, came through one man from within. Let me explain. First and foremost, the laws of physics dictate that every action, has a reaction. Let us start from the very beggining. The big bang, being a rapid expansion of energy, that previously was not in existence. The big bang was a reaction, now the question becomes, what is the action that caused it? Cause and Effect. The big bang being a flash of expanding energy, spacetime itself emerged. However, we have always known, through scripture in Genesis 1:3. "God said let there be light" and boom, we perceived the big bang. Whatever is capable, of creating a universe from nothing, with such brilliant compexity; could be nothing short of God. Or is it more probable that the big bang caused itself? Which would violate the laws of physics. The universe obeys particular parameters, that "emerged", laws dont create themselves. Speaking of which, the universe that emerg...

"The Prosperity Gospel" Isn't The Gospel

Mainstream Christianity is under assault, both from within and without. Not only is the world increasingly secular and amoral, but there are wolves within sheep clothing within the Christian preachers themselves, teleevangelism is a large share within this. This is what happens when a nation abandons it's scriptures, they are easily deceived by those who proclaim to speak the word of God. Many of these multimillionaire preachers, aren't necessarily serving the gospel. I don't think it was necessary for me to proclaim that, but it's just the truth. . The people that are not proclaiming the true gospel, avoid topics that are supposed to awake you from your sin. God states that we are all sinners. People like to believe that they are good. The true gospel proclaims you are a sinner and you are depraved, and unlike what these motivational speakers in disguise as preachers. You have transgressions and you need to repent. The true gospel is that God the son, came in the flesh...

Star Crossed Lovers

God brought you to me, and made life beautiful. This life without you, would simply be pitiful. My heart, tags and pulls emotions like strings. A connection, so rare, truly a stranger thing. Star crossed lovers, the affection that it brings. Our souls express affection, as our hearts sing. The beautiful melody, of a romantic destiny. I am love sick, and I don't need a remedy. Crazy about each other, swimming in insanity. My passion for you, is with intensity like a grudge. As we embrace, in my arms, as we kiss and hug. Heart's motionless, but you gave me a gentle tug. I came from, the other side of the world. I never thought, I would find my special girl. The only one that make feel, like no other. A beautiful symphony, of star crossed lovers.
