God is good and the devil is evil. It's in their names.

[branchesofHim]

God is love and God is good. The devil is hate and the devil is evil. Simple.

God = good
devil = evil

Psalm 100:[5] For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.

God wants only good for you and the devil only wants evil for you. Whatsoever (anything) things you desire (the desires of your heart) are available to you (if you ask God for it), but you must do it in love (you must forgive any that you have ought against).

Mark 11:[20] And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots.
[21] And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away.
[22] And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.
[23] For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.
[24] Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.
[25] And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.
[26] But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.

Faith will not work with unforgiveness in your heart. And unbelief will not work with love in your heart.

God = good
Devil = evil

Galatians 5:[6] For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth anything, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love.

If you are delighting yourself in God's Word, His presence, and His desires then He will readily give you whatsoever things you desire. And He wants to.

Luke 12:[32] Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.

Psalm 37:[3] Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.
[4] Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
[5] Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.
[6] And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.
[7] Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.
[8] Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil.

Love is the one commandment that will fulfil all of the law (God's will). Love God with all your heart, mind, soul, and love your neighbor as yourself. Love is God will. And faith works by love. 

2 Timothy 2:[24] And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient,
[25] In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;
[26] And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.

If we don't walk in love, we give place to the devil. And if we give the devil opportunity, he will take it. He's a thief who comes to steal, kill, and destroy. That is his will. 

So, with love and God's will in mind, I say now, "I love each of you in Christ. May His goodness fill your life by grace. And may God, our Father, be glorified in the earth by your desires being fulfilled." Shalom

1 John 5:[18] We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.

It seems like a nice correlation, but the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is named YeHoVah. His "office" is God. A good explanation of the Name of YeHoVah can be found on this website: https://www.nehemiaswall.com/disastrous-misunderstanding-yehovah

 

The devil or HaSatan is also referred to as the "god" of this world. But some interesting side notes:

D-evil, D-vile one HaSatan. Any way you spell it, he is a thief, a liar and a murderer.

Correct but a better way to say this is God wants only good for you and the devil only wants to use you to cause God pain. Truthfully the devil does not care one whit about you other than how he can use you to hurt God.

It's written that the Jews (in general) did not understand which God they worshiped. 

They were saying "Jehovah", but they did not understand who Jehovah was. 

That's why they did not understand whom they worship to this day.

Did you click on the link? And Christians (in general) think YeHoVah let His Son do away with all of the laws.

They were saying "Jehovah", but they did not understand who Jehovah was.

There was no letter "J" in the English language by the way until sometime in the 1600's.

That's why they did not understand whom they worship to this day.

And "Christians" think His name is God or the LORD. That would be like saying the name of the guy who lives down the street from me is "The Plumber" instead of Tommy...

Ì was expecting these kind of irrelevant responses and if I go to respond to each and every one we will go further and further away from the core issue. 

A relevant answer is: 

No I disagree with this statement. 

I did not post any scriptures to support my statement.

And being a step ahead GUESSING the scripture and making an argument it may be a slippery slope. 

The correct response to start a conversation on the issue in question it should be something like that.

This is a statement without supporting material.

Please provide the relevant material (what ever you think they are that support your statement to begin the argument. 

I SAID " IT IS WRITTEN " the demand should have been. 

IT IS WRITTEN, then POST THE SCRIPTURE. 

I you ask I WILL.

In the mean time the audience can make a search and find the scripture for them selves. And side with the original statement. Or can make an argument to the contrary on the scripture they think is relevant. Then I would have to give them the relevant scriptures if their arguments are relevant. Your there are not. 

Which make me think that you do not like the idea that the statement which I original made IT COULD BE TRUTH.
