  1. I think that spiritual warfare means we are going to fight Satan's ( and his horde's ) influence to this world, that is, temptations and sins. It's nothing physical. Physically, demons are not allowed to enter our realm ever since their realm was conquered by our Lord. They are not allowed to enter unless they are somehow invited by humans. "Physically", we are unmatched to fight any demons, you can drive them away though sometimes. When you are going to seek them, perhaps actually you are inviting them into our realm.
  2. Science is a reward of faith in a short-termed cycle. Spirituality is a reward of faith in a long-termed cycle. Isaac Newton had faith in gravity that his faith is rewarded with all the theories he developed. His faith gets paid because the scope of his research is substancial and touchable. While the faith of spirituality is not usually paid in an easy way, because the scope of "research" is far beyond our material/substance realm. Yet people of the correct kind of faith will get paid finally.
  3. That's never a problem, as the Bible is just enough for our salvation. It is a necessity for us to understand God fully. That's why people even doubt about His Trinity. If it is a problem, then it is a problem of the OP. Revelation 10:7 But in the days when the seventh angel is about to sound his trumpet, the mystery of God will be accomplished, just as he announced to his servants the prophets."
  4. My answer is like this, the prophecy is somehow two-folded. It bears a standard, and it describes a scenario. The two lampstands are Moses and Elijah, they symbolically represent the 2 series of prophets sent and to be sent. John the Baptist belongs to the Elijah series, especially to the Son of Man. Paul is thus Moses, especially to the Son of Man. It sets a standard here for the end time prophets to follow, alternatively speaking, end time prophets are destined to follow this standard, - They belong to either of the 2 series. - They will die but will be raised back. - They will confront the devil in a more direct sense (even a face to face encounter). - They will torment the world with Truth, that some people will be driven crazy and will be more than happy to see them killed. - They will prophesy/reveal in a period of time. Amongst them, there will be 2 extraordinary Witnesses, and they will come just as described. Moreover, one appears to be physical dead might not have actually tasted death.
  5. Omnipresence is His ability to be anywhere He wishes. His omnipotence gives Him the ability to choose not to stay in the darkness. His Omnipresence simply means He CAN be anywhere His free will wants to be. If He wants to be everywhere simultaneously all the times (our concept), He CAN. If He wants to stay away from the darkness and remain in the light only, He CAN too. The "CAN" represents His omnipotence. Similarly, His Omniscience means He knows whatever He wants to know. If He would like to know everything in details simultaneously (our concept), everything in the past, present and future, He CAN. If He wants to ignore anyone by putting him into a total separation from God, He CAN too.
  6. I think it's abit like I said that tommorrow will rain, then it rains the next day. So it depends on if I would like to counter act on my foreknowledge or not. If I choose not to intervene it will just rain as it is. If on the other hand I choose to intervene then the result will change. I can thus have a bigger and longer view to see back from the end of time what are resulted by the 99% without intervention and 1% intervention. This says, 1) we can't reason from God's point of view, we don't have the matched intelligence to understand the arrangement fully. He desires us to come to Him with faith, instead of by His intervention, for a purpose we might or might not know. It's all about His Ultimate Plan. I don't think we can understand or let know what the plan is, but from my guess, those come to Him with Faith will never leave away from Him again in eternity. Just my guess. (I mean, I am quite sure that this is part of the reasons of part of His plan. )
