Guest DRS81 Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Hey guys and welcome to the DRS thread. We serve water, bouncy balls, stuffed animals and gum, and I'd like to create a fun discussion about the devil in regards to believers and nonbelievers. Ok, so when the devil wants a nonbeliever dead that's just one less soul in heaven. When the devil wants a believer dead that's just one less soul spreading the gospel. But my question is, does it make the devil even more upset when after a believer dies, they are with the Lord? Like for example, we made enemies with the devil the day when we accepted Christ and not him. So does the devil know what he's doing when he wants us dead. - DRS81 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd rather torment us as much as possible while we are here. Killing a Christian isn't really on his agenda right now. We all make mistakes and he loves to throw that up into Gods face and make us look bad. Once he's been given permission to make war with the Saints and overcome, that may change as he seems to be set up to use death as a tool to get us to take the mark..... At that time most of the world and how it works will change..... at least from my viewpoint that's the way it looks. I'm not a part of all that any more, but 30 years ago killing Christians was not an agenda item, and I don't think God will just let him go around killing people or he'd have killed me while I was still not really saved. It appeared to me that he tried at least three times and weird things kept it from happening...... All but one of those could have just been normal life happenings, but I don't think so.

He would rather deceive us so we are robbed of our faith or joy, and made ineffective in God's kingdom. When Christians are killed still confessing their faith and forgiving their murderers, God's kingdom spreads like wild fire. It is not like muslims who die filled with hatred. So I am not sure that satan does understand the results of murdering Christians. Perhaps his hatred has blinded him to the consequences. But he must have thought that murdering Jesus would be his greatest triumph, too. All he can do is play into God's hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But things like this should not be joked about. The devil is not a joke. He is an enemy. In your jests you end up giving the enemy warm fuzzy appeal and glorify him.
