No one cares. Make an argument for your position. So what? What does that have to do with whether I'm correct or not?

I always find it fascinating that if you go back even just a few hundred years, people wrote letters with much greater detail and verbosity than people of the last couple decades. Even letters from soldiers in the American Civil War contained far more to them than from letters from people today.

No one cares. Why do you people keep leaving out the rest of what He said? Then the seventy returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us in Your name.” And He said to them, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. Behold, I give you the authority to trample on...

I was referring to the scripture you provided, which, if I recall correctly, was NOT Acts 2:1-4. Not even close. I'm not saying he was made the pope. I'm saying he was given the keys to the kingdom (of Israel). People such as Idolater wrongly conflate this with being made pope. Is not Acts...

Not that I'm aware of. I was just replying to this discussion in a different thread, since it was somewhat off topic from the original post.

Do you not know how to use punctuation? Your entire post is just one long run-on sentence... Yes, it was. Then man fell and brought corruption into it. Not even close. The perfect prison is the Lake of Fire. This wrongly implies that demons can be saved. They cannot. The angels that fell...

This is my response which I referred to in my opening post.

Quoting this here for context and so Clete gets pinged.

Supra, RE: Ezekiel 31 It's no longer pertinent because it no longer exists, since it was destroyed in the Flood.

I find this sort of response to be flaky and wishy-washy at best... But that might just be because I'm a man and as a man I think more in rational terms than emotional ones... Even so, this doesn't seem like a very well thought out response, considering that the lesson to be learned is that...

There were no demons whispering to Eve. I place the blame on the fact that somehow, she came to believe that if she even touched the tree or its fruit, that she would die, which isn't what God said at all. Indeed! https://kgov.com/theodicy This begs the question that Satan is the one who...

Which is why it's important to know what the Bible ACTUALLY says, rather than going off of what we think it says. What "tree with the poisonous fruit"? Surely you don't mean the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil? If so, do you mean "poisonous" literally or figuratively? If the latter...

Keep reading. Jesus is giving context for what He is about to say: Then the seventy returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us in Your name.” And He said to them, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and...

Correct.

I don't particularly disagree with anything here... Satan being cast from heaven is a description of the events in Genesis 3. He is currently roaming the earth. He will eventually be banished to the pit for 1000 years in the end times. It's literally as simple as that. https://kgov.com/three

No. Satan was in the garden, which WAS heaven, where God dwelt, a paradise, the mountain of God. The Garden of Eden was only one place on earth. Yes, the earth was a paradise, but Eden was a special place on earth on a mountain, the one where God lived. He was kicked out of heaven, out of the...

Correct. Correct. A more rational explanation cannot be found. AMEN!

This describes the events of Genesis 3. These are prophecies that pertain ONLY to Israel, as a warning to them in their rebellion against God. The simple answer is no. There's no logical pathway from the former to the latter, simply because they are completely unrelated events.

Moving this to its own thread... More responses to come after this post. Idolater, there is so much wrong with your post it's hard to even know where to begin. I'm not sure where you got your version of Biblical events from, but it clearly wasn't the Bible, and reads more like a fantasy novel...
