Satan coming against the church and GODS people

[marta]

maybe, maybe, maybe..

Exactly. There are a lot of valid reasons why people choose to stop attending a specific church. And I wouldn't call people not agreeing with the pastor a "visious attack" by the devil. Just shows how weak the church has become ... you know, there are Christians, even today, that have been killed for their beliefs .... THAT I would consider a vicious attack by the devil.

"satan has made a visious attack against our church."

SHAWN: Is there evidence/proof of this individual???

" he has attacked it in many ways. for the past several months he hs made attempts to stop people from coming "

SHAWN: WOW....so peeps not coming to YOUR church is all of a sudden the workings of some spiritual entity? It's not humans just making a different choice than yours?

Okay okay let's accept this satan...so peeps not coming to YOUR particular church and possibly going elsewhere is satan's doing? How do you prove this? Can it be that it's not "God's" working b/c you folks are not preaching truth according to Xtian standards?


"such as it is not a sin to do this or that when THE BIBLE plainly teaches that it is"

SHAWN: So what is this suppose "sin" are is it a possible false interpretation your church holds?

"all SIN comes from satan. "

SHAWN: It does...is this a scriptural teaching...and if so may I ask where is this found?

I don't think it should be surprising the horrible condition the world is in today simply by virtue of the prevalence of dualism ingrained into society by religion. The world and people have never fit into a black and white mold of 'good' and 'evil', there are an infinite number of shades of gray. Not taking that into account is crippling. It makes you try to fit the square peg of reality into the round hole of the dualistic thinking. It just doesn't work out because it masks the real-world problems with make-believe-world perceptions.

Arron, there will always be problems within the church..and that is because humans attend there and they can't agree on things 100% of the time.

Your affilation and the church you attend has you feeling this way...I am by know means telling you it's wrong to feel like this-just know that not everyone is going to agree or understand...especially when it comes to the devil..most people have a harder time believeing in the devil than they do God.

It is funny when things go wrong usually people want to blame God but arron you have chosen to blame devil..

rachelengland yes satan is behind all evil. all evil comes from satan satan has never done anything good and never will. my church has nothing to do with this feeling i have for all the church feels the same way. i never blame GOD for things that happen but i do blame the devil if it is a bad thing.
this however is different as we have , along with others in the church have felt satan comeing against the church through some people who do not like the preaching of living a good life. they want to live as they choose and not be told anything about GOD or HIS WORD
