power of the devil

[kragan]

my 5 year old grand-daughter asked the question "can the devil come out of the ground?"
i told her that the devil can, and can take the form of many things..and or people.
ie...the serpent, the anti-christ..ect.
i explained to her that satan was a fallen angle and that angels come to earth often
i also told her that God has power over everything and can be everywhere at once, where-as satan only has power over the earth and can only be at one place and time.
its nice to have questions ... even if they are hard to answer. it tells me that she is wanting to learn about God.


god bless you my little Stink-Bug

Actually, I think Satan can tempt many people at the same time.

Actually, I think Satan can tempt many people at the same time.

Now, how would he do that? Are you suggesting he has the omnipresence that only God has? I believe the OP was spot on.

most true, however satan has helpers called demons.those thrown in still dont match the awesome power and authority of God.

 

[Elijah674]

Angels, good & bad are.. 'ministering spirits' we are told. Heb. 1:14 'All'. See also Eph. 6:12

We do see the striving of the Holy Ghost for the lost pre/flood ones, yet that was not having the Holy Ghost entering them huh!


By the way, welcome aboard! The little tyke seems to have a very caring mom. Are you going to home school her?

Most seem to think that when God created Adam & Eve, that they had a 'spirit' that 'i' never find myself in the Word that, was any different than breath of life. (and later Holy Spirit if his fallen condition was re/created Acts 5:32 + Gen. 41:38?) What is your take of that?

Gen. 2:7 K.J. puts it this way..
'And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and [breathed into his nostrils the breath of life] and [man became a living soul]'.

It would be fun to see what your 5 year old daughter would tell 'us' would happen if the 'breath of life' was removed?? Especially seeing that she knows to stay away from the devil which you are teaching her, huh? Jer. 17:5

--Elijah

PS: And by the way, 'i' am Elijah674 not the other Elijah.

Wow God bless the little children...

kragan I think you gave a perfect answer and it is awesome your 5 yr old can even comprehend enough to ask such questions. I see a future theologian in the works

Christ said, 'It is not bone and flesh that we battle, but the Celestials, the principalities and powers". the term 'Celestials' means 'from the Heavens', meaning outer space.

NASA has the most power telescopes in orbit now, and they just announced they are finding Earth like planets, in the habitable zone, orbiting just about every other star now.

The habitable zone means, it's just the right distance, from the Sun, where water can exist in liquid form, thus spawning life.

We now know that, Mars was once covered in liquid oceans, and the polar caps are actually frozen water, covered in a layer of frozen carbon dioxide. This means, the only two planets we know of for sure, in the habitable zone, were covered with oceans of water, which means, it is probably the norm.

Also, we now know that there is all kind of life, in the Mariannas Trench, 35,000 feet deep, and this is significant. 30 years ago, the believe was that life evolved as blue green algae in shallow waters where photosynthesis began the chain reaction of life. There is NO LIGHT that reaches 35,000 feet deep in the Mariannas Trench, and besides, the water pressure down there is 35,000 feet per square inch, and yet it's full of exotic life forms.
So, we know that life evolves virtually ANYWHERE, in water, under virtually any circumstances. People use to believe, not too long ago, that fish couldn't exist below 1,200 feet deep because the water pressure was too great, and there was no light, it was only when Jacque Coustea began exploring at depths greater than this in the 1960's that we even knew these things.

But back to the original topic, so we know that, it's now pretty possible, that one in two stars, has a planet or planets, around them, that probably have, or have had oceans of water, and life probably evolves on them, when they have oceans of water.

Folks, do you understand, the significance, of what NASA announced, last week? There are 100 billion stars, in the Milky Way Galaxy alone. That means, we have to consider the very real possiblity, that 50 billion of them, have inhabitable planets orbiting them. 50 billion is a number you can't even understand, your mind can't even grasp how big it is.

The significance is that we humans are significant to God.
