Satan is the god of this world. Most of the time on this planet, evil wins. For example, one of his henchmen is sitting in the WH.
We will keep fighting the good fight regardless because in the end, we win.
Satan is more powerful and superior to Jesus and God (Jehovah)?
That's so not how it was made to seem in church.
Yes, Earth is Satan's playground... the Holy Trinity rules the life eternal
So then everything that happens on the planet is because Satan makes it so? And if that's the case, why should anyone pray for help from God for anything on the planet?
What denomination are you? Do you go to church? Have you been baptized?
I don't mean to sound condescending, just trying to figure out where your knowledge level is.
I was raised Catholic and yes I've been baptized. I don't get what that has to do with it being said that Satan is the god of this world, which is what I was trying to understand how that could be.
Jesus referred to him Satan as "the ruler of this world" (John 12:31), and Paul calls the devil "the prince of the power of the air" (Ephesians 2:2) and "the god of this world" (2 Corinthians 4:4). John makes a further distinction when he says: "We know that we are of God, and the whole world is in the power of the evil one" (1 John 5:19)
Thanks for the refresher. Now I get where he was coming from.
When He refers to the world, he's referring to man and all of the things of this world that are apart from God. Sin.
I was raised a Lutheran and don't remember that part...maybe it's more of an evangelical church thing????
BTW, I really don't get the animosity towards the He Gets Us commercials. Isn't evangelizing and spreading the word of the gospel a big part of what Christianity is supposed to do?
I don't care about the group that's doing it - just spreading it sounds like a good thing if they can bring some folks into the fold.
BTW, I say this as a deist now, so, I really have no dog in the fight anymore. But, just an observation.
