I am a little nervous about making this first post because I see so much criticism and downright cruelty in the interactions between people on some of the other posts I read here. I have decided to go ahead and take the risk and ask a question. Though I have my own thoughts in this area, having been a Christian for a long time, I would like to get feedback from other people. What do you think is the primary way the devil attacks Christians? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But i believe satan can and does use people who are guided by him to mock attack and persecute Christians.. Ephesians 2: KJV 2 "Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:" I have no doubt that God allows satan to afflict us in other ways. Just as God allowed satan to afflict Job in the OT.. But i believe that ultimately undermines satan and with Gods help we are strengthened to resist satans tactics and ultimately be overcomers with the LORD.. Romans 8: KJV 28 "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly there are people online who cannot control their tempers and use the tactic of attacking the person because they lack the ability to effectively respond to the ideas / doctrines they disagree with.. So take the time to weed out those people who do not respond in the way Christians should.. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you feel a post is attacking you or someone else you can report the offending post to the board servants, and they will look into it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you find someone personally attacking someone else, you can also report the thread/post to the site admins. I recommend this first as they, the admins, cannpt fix what they don;t know about.

Different things work better against different people so it's often the weakest points of a given person that are attacked. But I think in a general sense getting people complacent with sin is a common form. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know some people in another forum who were acting like good Christians, only to discover after knowing them for five years, that they have the yeast of the Pharisees. They only seek their glory n dignity. But it took five years to discover it. Edited September 12, 2019 by R. Hartono Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Christian are not ignorant. We have the armour of God to wear. Also he can attack physically through people. Like when Jesus was born King Herod sent a army to kill all the children born from the time the three wise men arrived. We can go to the store and be there when a criminal happens to be there and target us. So we should always pray for Gods protection. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
